The French revolution was the period
1789-1799 that saw the end of the French
monarchy. Although the revolution began as an
attempt to create a constitutional monarchy,
by late 1792 demands for long-overdue reforms
resulted in the proclamation of the First
Republic. The violence of the revolution,
attacks by other nations, and bitter
factional struggles, riots, and
counterrevolutionary uprisings consumed the
republic.
