The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a period in the history of France. During this time, republicanism replaced the absolute monarchy in France, and the French sector of the Roman Catholic Church was forced to undergo radical restructuring. While France would oscillate among republic, empire, and monarchy for 75 years after the First Republic fell to a coup d'état by Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolution nonetheless spelled a definitive end to the ancien régime. It eclipses the subsequent revolutions of 1830 and 1848 in the popular imagination. It is widely seen as a major turning point in continental European history, from the age of absolutism to that of the citizenry, and even of the masses, as the dominant political force.

A king who didn't do anything for his people and who betrayed his country was viewed as useless, so the people of France decided to get rid of the king. He was sent to the guillotine, ending his reign.  The emergency dictatorship of the Committee of Public Safety was then allowed, under the leadership of Robespierre, Marat, and Danton.  These leaders were radical and willing to use power for more than just defense of their country.  Although the country of France was able to get rid of the King, the problems and the revolution continued.  Today, France continues to experience poverty and violent mob behavior.

John Adams, the new President, sent (1797) John Marshall and Elbridge Gerry to join Pinckney on a peace mission to France. This three-man commission was immediately confronted by the refusal of French foreign minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand to receive it officially. Indirect suggestions of loans and bribes to France were made to the commissioners through Mme de Villette, a friend of Talleyrand. Negotiations were carried on through her with Jean Conrad Hottinguer and Lucien Hauteval, both Swiss, and a Mr. Bellamy, an American banker in Hamburg; the three were designated X, Y, and Z in the mission's dispatches to the United States. The proposal that the Americans pay Talleyrand about $250,000 before the French government would even deal with them created an uproar when it was released in the United States. The U.S. representatives made no progress and the mission broke up, \n\n\nfor the rest of the story see the link

Ethan Allen (yes, just like the furniture stores).\n\nFrom the Virtual Vermont website:\n"At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) he led the expedition that captured Fort Ticonderoga in the first colonial victory of the war (notwithstanding the fact that he and the Boys basically knocked on the door, walked in and took over). He would soon thereafter attempt a badly planned, badly executed assault on Montreal which would result in his being imprisoned by the British and thus removed from further participation in the Revolution.\n"

The French didn't help us blockade the British at Yorktown simply because they didn't like the British, or because they wanted to help us.\n\nFind who the naval generals were from the French fleet, and you will find your answer. :)

"Joseph Ranger, a free man of color who enlisted in Virginia's navy in 1776, served on four ships during the American Revolution. He, like many other African Americans, devoted his life to the United States, only to be thrust into the most dangerous situations by the same organization he was so readily willing to defend. Most of the blacks who served in the Revolutionary navy were, for the most part, orderlies or ordinary seamen. A few fortunate African Americans were able to work their way up to pilots, but this was extremely rare."\n\nhttp://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1157/is_n1_v61/ai_20787857

You should check out a history text or Wikipedia, it is pretty good. \n\nThe French Revolution is a tricky historical event. It is very complex and quite long. It began in 1789 when Louis XVI called into session the Estates General (French Parliament). Memebers of the Third Estate (commoners mostly the bourgeoisie) chose to use the session to begin a liberal revolution.

On 22 August, nearly two months after the main uprisings had been defeated, about 1,000 French soldiers under General Humbert landed in the north-west of the country, at Kilcummin in County Mayo. Joined by up to 5,000 local rebels, they inflicted a humiliating defeat (known as the Castlebar races to commemorate the speed of the British retreat) on the British at Castlebar and set up a short-lived "Republic of Connaught", before final defeat at the Battle of Ballinamuck, in County Longford, on 8 September 1798. The French troops who surrendered were repatriated to France in exchange for British prisoners of war; the Irish rebels were massacred at the site of the battle.\n\nOn 12 October 1798, a larger French force consisting of 3,000 men, and including Wolfe Tone himself, attempted to land in County Donegal near Lough Swilly. They were intercepted by a larger Royal Navy squadron, and finally surrendered after a three hour battle without ever landing in Ireland. As a result of this French involvement, 1798 was often referred to as "The Year of the French".\n\nJUST TAKE A LOOK...take a look to the troubles which create english army everywhere.

In 1759, Fort Carillon was captured by General Jeffery Amhurst and then renamed Fort Ticonderoga. On May 10, 1775, at the start of the Revolutionary War, Ethan Allen, an American Revolutionary soldier, led his Green Mountain Boys in an attack to overtake the fort. These soldiers from Vermont seized Fort Ticonderoga and all of its valuable artillery stores without a struggle.\n\nLater, in 1777, the American garrison was forced to leave the fort by British General Burgoyne and his men. The British abandoned it and burned the buildings.
