Best Answer

The French Revolution began in 1789 with the Storming of the Bastille and ended in 1799 with a coup that created the French Consulate under Napoleon Bonaparte. It was caused by the economic collapse of France, an unfair tax code and a perceived failure by the Monarchy to care about the plight of the common man.
