French Revolution Word Search
This French Revolution word search holds forty words from 1789 to 1799: the fall of the Bastille, King Louis and Marie Antoinette, the guillotine, Robespierre and the Terror, and the motto liberty, equality, fraternity.
France was nearly bankrupt in 1789, partly from paying for the American Revolution, and Louis XVI called the Estates General, which had not met since 1614. The Third Estate, the commoners, spoke for most of the country but got one vote, the same as the clergy and the nobles. Its deputies declared themselves a National Assembly and, locked out of their hall, swore the Tennis Court Oath not to part until France had a constitution. On July 14 a Paris crowd stormed the Bastille, a fortress prison, looking for gunpowder.
France became a republic in 1792, and Louis was executed in January 1793. During the Terror of 1793 and 1794, about 17,000 people were officially sentenced to death, and Robespierre himself went to the guillotine in July 1794. The revolution gave France the metric system and a new calendar with ten-day weeks, and Napoleon took power in the coup of 18 Brumaire, the month of fog, in November 1799.
