Effect of the second and third

After the French revolution, France saw all the damages that it caused. The middle men and the land owning class were now the most dominant and end of social statues. This was also the end of feudalism.
 Also the country was able to manage and keep some social order in the years of the War of Napoleon. Even after everything that has happened, we never know maybe the french revolution sculpted our world today.

Effect for the first

In 1781 after Bastille, The Declaration of Independence was the main issue. This document projected the authority of issuing basic humans rights from the church to the government. Even after this the King's crown that originally had a symbol of Catholic Christianity was replaced with a red liberty cap. This represent the state authority.

During the third

The guillotine was a major even during the French Revolution, but it had larger purpose before the Reign of Terror. The guillotine was the reason for the executions of King Louis XVI,Queen Marie Antoinette, Barnave, Bailly, Brissote and other leading Girondins were all executed by the guillotine.

During the second

The war of Vendee begun in 1793, the peasants revolted against the French government because they didn't agree with the changes on the Roman Catholic Church by the Civil Constitution of the clergy. 117,000-250,000 people lost their lives due to this revolt.  That caused a major government business to be war. Citizens were expected to serve as soldiers or suppliers in the war.

During the first

The reign of Terror lasted from September 1793-July 1794. In this caused the death of almost 17,000 people under the guillotine. This was noted as a political purge to the rulers. After this ended, as many as 40,000 people were on death trial for the guillotine as prisoners.

The third cause

Financial issues arose so Louis XVI called the Estates General, the Third Estate  didn't agree with the system. Due this, they formed the National Assembly to make a constitution. People  began to get scared and then the Parisians chose to attack the Bastille prison. This fall of Bastille is what stared the French Revolution.

The second cause

Feudalism was still being practiced in France during the time. The nobles and clergy didn't have to pay taxes. While they didn't have to pay, the commoners had to pay heavily. They had to work hard and still had very little to no political power. The nobles and clergy wanted to revolt because the commoners became disconnected with them.
