The French Revolution (1789-1793) attempted to establish a democratic government in place of the monarchy. Its goals were "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" (Liberty, equality, brotherhood), and one other that was not in the slogan : justice. For many, this meant social justice, freedom from rule by the aristocracy. But the excesses of the Reign of Terror, and the subsequent counter-revolution, left many peasants worse off despite the fall of the nobility.
