The French Revolution, C1780-99
Muhtasari
In May 1789 Louis XVI was an absolute monarch ruling the most populous kingdom in western Europe. Ten years later he was dead, the monarchy was abolished, the Church had been stripped of its lands, and an army officer from Corsica was about to make himself the effective ruler of France. Almost nothing about that outcome was predictable in 1789, and working out why it happened is one of the great problems in modern history.
This depth study takes you from the long-term pressures of the 1780s through the crisis year of 1789, the fall of the monarchy, the Terror and the Directory, to Napoleon Bonaparte as First Consul. Along the way you will practise the skills Paper 1 actually rewards: separating long-term from short-term causes, explaining consequences, and reaching a judgement you can defend.
