The French Revolution was when the people of France got really mad at the king and queen and decided to overthrow them. They stormed the Bastille, a prison, and started fighting for their rights. The revolution lasted for several years and there was a lot of violence. Eventually, the king and queen were executed by the guillotine. A new government was formed, but things were still kind of chaotic. The revolution led to changes in France's government and society, and inspired other countries to fight for their own rights.
