The Russian revolution is the fundamental political and social upheaval that erupted in the Russian empire in 1917. The roots of the Russian Revolution are to be sought in the arbitrary, autocratic, and repressive czarist political and social system that evolved in the 16th – 18th century. It began with the collapse of the centuries-old czarist regime in February that led to the overthrow of the Western-style Provisional Government and the establishment of the first national communist political system in October. In the last years before World War 1 there was no reason to believe that revolution was inevitable, much less imminent in Russia. But as military defeats piled up, a progressive block was formed in the Duma (parliament that had limited power). The member of the block strove valiantly to convince the government that it must follow the example of western government to accept the voluntary cooperation of the public in coping with the inordinately difficult problems. The autocracy, jealous of its exclusive authority refused all such offers that would help his government. Rapidly the government lost all shred of public confidence. Under the czars Russia was a backward country, much of the land was in royal and private estate\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://www.barnsdle.demon.co.uk/russ/rusrev.html

Mahfuz, stop asking questions when you dont know all the facts.  the guillotine was created before the the french revolution.  do what the samurais did when they were defeated, fall on you sword and stop asking questions.

It's a little premature but there has been a lot of injustice. I think it is a duty to do what you have to as long as you can get the support. A revolution is how this country broke away from England, and against taxes no less. Guess the rich better watch out.\n\nIn my state it is written in the constitution that it is our right to overthrow those in power.

Revolutions usually have some kind of organized political power behind them (a party or an organized group of people with a political agenda). Events in France can affect the results of elections next year, but I believe there will be no disruption in a democratic process

The term Glorious Revolution refers to the generally popular overthrow of James II of England in 1688 by a conspiracy between some Parliamentarians and the Dutch stadtholder William III of Orange-Nassau. The revolution was the last successful invasion of England. It is sometimes referred to as the Bloodless Revolution but this name is a misnomer as there was much fighting with loss of life in Ireland and, to a lesser degree, in Scotland. Some modern historians, alternatively, prefer the more neutral Revolution of 1688.\n\nLegacy:\nThe Glorious Revolution was one of the most important events in the long evolution of powers possessed by Parliament and by the Crown in England. With the passage of the Bill of Rights, it stamped out any final possibility of a Catholic monarchy, and ended moves towards monarchical absolutism in the British Isles by circumscribing the monarch's powers. The King's powers were greatly restricted; he could no longer suspend laws, levy taxes, or maintain a standing army during peacetime without Parliament's permission. Since 1689, England, and later the United Kingdom, has been governed under a system of constitutional monarchy, which has been uninterrupted. Since then, Parliament has gained more and more power, and the Crown has progressively lost it.\n\nThe success of the revolution came three years after the failure of the Monmouth Rebellion to overthrow the king.\n\nThe Williamite victory in Ireland is still commemorated by the Orange Order for preserving British and Protestant dominance in the country.\n\nFor more see:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_Revolution\n\nPS \n(For the other ansewer(s) )\nThere was bloodshed.\n\nSee \n"It is sometimes referred to as the Bloodless Revolution but this name is a misnomer as there was much fighting with loss of life in Ireland and, to a lesser degree, in Scotland."

The first European country with democratic idea(l)s was France. During the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799 the values "liberte" ((personal) freedom), "egalite" (equality) and "fraternite" (brotherhood) were the leading ideals in French society. Back then monarchy was brought to its fall and a new, democratic government was built. Unfortunately, one of the revolutions leaders, Robespierre, saw the only solution to bring the revolution to success in executing any possible "enemy" of it during his Reign of Terror. In the end, he was executed himself, the revolution failed, France ended up in monarchy again. The main problem was the extreme poverty among the people, the poor hoped through the revolution there would be less hunger and poverty, because the noblemen were killed and their properties taken, but with time passing they had to face the fact that they cannot make bread out of blood (I hope you know what I mean?)\nThe U.S.A. was the first country to successfully adopt the democratic ideals of the French Revolution and that, by the way, is the reason why France gave the Statue of Liberty with the torch of enlightenment to the U.S., the same torch is located in Paris as wyell. I hope I could help you a little... sorry for my English, I hope I used the right historical terms (I translated them literally from the German terms I know)

Louis XVI was a "good" king, he had no "carism", he was  just a good Handyman. But he ruined france, more than france was already when he decided to help the "future United-stated" against the biggest french enemy, the british. At that time, french had got a big part of the present territory of USA, high from Louisiana(in homage of Louis XIV) to Quebec. all the valley of the Mississippi was french's territory. U must Know cities like "Baton Rouge", "New Orleans/La Nouvelle Orléans" in French or "Louisville, Mississippi", "Nashville","Cape Girardeau","st louis" or "DES MOINES", or THE "Maine" like the "Maine-et-loire" in France, Montpelier, vermont etc... You understand why french didn't wanna see british next to their colony. after the independance day of the USA france was totaly bankrupted and began one of the more dangerous country until the French revolution and the government couldn't do anything with "impotent king" who started to lose his head...

well one is the independence of Haiti....the slaves there were influenced by the revolutionaries cries of " liberty, equality and fraternity" and they rebelled thus leading to the country's independence in 1791 or so.

The guillotine was first placed across from the Louvre where the first 35 victims met their fate, then moved to a more central and visible location at la Place de la Concorde. for the slaughter of the king and other big wigs. \n\nHowever, because Robespierre was planning a big parade for his feast of the Supreme Being which was going to pass in front of this most unsightly object, it was moved to the to la Place de la Bastille. \n\nThe smell of blood was most unpleasant in the summer heat and bad for the cafe business, so the local residents insisted that the guillotine be moved more out of town near the Place de la Nation today. \n\nhttp://www.paris.org/Kiosque/apr96/picpus.html\n\nMap of Paris in 1789:\nhttp://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd_1911/shepherd-c-149.jpg  (I can't find a more detailed one)\n\nThere were also guillotines in many other places in Revolutionary France, like Marseilles, Bordeaux, etc.  Paris might be the easiest to work with.\n\nI have come across more maps of Paris which might be useful:\nhttp://www.columbia.edu/cu/arthistory/courses/parismaps/\n\nIf you can find a picture of the Palais-Royale, there were shops there; it's not so very far from the Place de la Concorde.  I visited once - the shop still exists, in some form, where Charlotte Corday bought the knife with which she killed Marat:\nhttp://www.bonjourparis.com/Articles/Destination_Paris/Around_and_About_Paris:_The_Palais-Royal/ \nhttp://www.skidmore.edu/academics/fll/janzalon/revolution/paris1789-2.jpg\n\nAnother, better, map:\nhttp://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/ward_1912/paris_revolution.jpg  (There was, in fact, only one guillotine in Paris, which was dragged around to several squares, the inhabitants of the nearby streets taking exception to it...)

A series of decrees or ordinances set forth by Charles X of France in July 1830 (and his chief minister Jules Armand du Polignac.)  They did such things as attempt greater controls on the press, deprive three-quarters of French voters of the right to vote, dissolve PArliament, and call for a new election (with the new electorate.)\n\nReaction:  the July Revolution.  Charles X was knocked off the throne (he abdicated and fled); the new system of governemnt was constitutional monarchy rather than the absolute monarchy in place before, and the new, limited, monarch was Louis-Philippe of the House of Orleans.

Le bleu et le rouge symbolisaient les couleurs du peuple, tandis que le blanc était la couleur "royale".\n\nLe drapeau français a été ainsi choisi juste après la Révolution pour marquer le contrôle du Roi par le peuple.

Go to the National History Day website to get some ideas:\n\nhttp://www.nationalhistoryday.org\n\nRemember to keep the focus of your project narrow, i.e. don't try to do a project on the entire French Revolution, for example; focus one one aspect of your chosen subject which interests you.  My daughter learned that the hard way.
