French Revolution (may 5, 1789 – nov 9, 1799)
Description:
The French Revolution was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that began in 1789 and ended in 1799 with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte. During this period, French citizens razed and redesigned the country's political landscape, uprooting centuries-old institutions such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system. Like the American Revolution before it, the French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideals, particularly the concepts of popular sovereignty and inalienable rights. Although it failed to achieve all of its goals and at times degenerated into a chaotic bloodbath, the movement played a critical role in shaping modern nations by showing the world the power inherent in the will of the people.
The Revolution was orchestrated in part by the radical faction of the Parisian Rite of the Templar Order led by François-Thomas Germain, a Sage, a reincarnation of the Isu Aita, who wanted to achieve the Great Work of Jacques de Molay, another Sage and Grand Master of the Templar Order who was executed by the King Philip IV of France. Germain profited of the Revolution to reform the Templar Order and destroy the French monarchy, avenging de Molay's death and shaping a new society to be control by the Templars.
