Unluckily for Germany, Russia prepared pretty quickly so Germany had to send troops to the Eastern Front as well and fight a two-front war.

The Old Regime was the French political and social system before 1789. Society in the Old Regime was divided into three classes called Estates. The First Estate was made up of all of the clergy members. The Second Estate was made up of nobility. The Third Estate, which was the largest, was made up of peasants, city workers, and the middle class. On May 5, 1789, Louis called a meeting of the Estates-General in Versailles. Once in session, the Estates-General assumed the powers of the government . On June 20th of the same year the Third Estate declared themselves the National Assembly and made the Tennis Court Oath, a pledge to themselves not to separate until they gave France a constitution. On July 14, 1789, a mob stormed the Bastille in Paris, and a short time later imprisoned the king and royal family in the palace of the Tuileries. In 1791, the royal family attempted to escape to Austria but were captured and brought back to Paris.
