French History and Les Mis
I know a couple things about the French Revolution. I know that the King Louis the 16 was out here wasting the towns money on party's with other important people while his people of his town were struggling. The King would also spend it on lavish clothes and on the military. But very few of that money was spent on food close to none was being spent on food. So food prices started going up it was really hard for people to feed their family's and somedays they wouldn't eat at all. Moms where getting really mad cause if someone is hurting a mothers kid lets just say your going to be in deep trouble. So the mothers of France marched the Versailles which was where the kings palace was at and the guards that tried to stop the women were then killed by the women had there heads chopped off and put on sticks. They then forced the king to bring the prices down and to promise them he would provide more for the people. The king agreed for now. The king later did the same thing and the village brought him to town and did an execution for the king and any one who had been associated with him. Napoleon was considered an emperor because he had curfews for the people of France and if anyone was caught outside pass curfew there would be consequences. Napoleon also restored peace in France by himself.
