The French Revolution

The French Revolution (1788-1799) was the time of a major upheaval in France where it shaped the mental and physical landscapes of France.  A lot of France's history now lies under it's home soil after excess damage of residence, furniture, jeweler...  During that time, France went under radical changes with it's social landscape where peasants, treated as inferior rose up to fight against their rights against people higher in hierarchy likes nobles for example.  Causes of this revolution were due to inflation of grocery prices which were dramatically unfair to lower class people like peasants.  Most causes were financially related.  

This revolution changed the psychological landscapes of France today but also changed it physically.  Today in France, you may not be able to see the difference but there were mass changes in appearance of France then and now.
