Lets go to 400 years back
Europe 1622
Imagine the world of that time There was no democracy, no nation only Kingdoms.
No industry, no media, no petrol diesel.
Their small village was their small world.
Society was based on an imagined order of God.
King was supreme authority and n son of King used to become King coz God chose him.
Priest was supreme religious authority n only his son used to become Priest coz God chose him n other people were happy coz they used to believe its God decision n there was no revolt.
It used to be called doctrine of divine order
And then started intellectual movement in Europe n credit goes to philosophers n scientist born in that era during 1600 - 1750
Earlier people used to believe, earth is center n sun revolves around it coz it was written in Bible
But Gallio said in 1615 that its wrong actually Sun in center and earth rotates around it
French philosopher Rene Descartes said in 1637 "cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am") n people started to think, started to ask question
Newton gave its equation and concept of
Gravity in 1687.
So in that era, lot of intellectual things happened n people started to question "Doctrine of divine right of God"
European Society was divided in 3 parts that time
1. Nobility - King n members of royal court
2. Clergy - Priest
3. Peasant - Farmers n others
There was no equality
While Nobility n clergy used to be considered privilege class, Peasant used to be considered lower class.
Now Lets move to France
During 1756 - 1763 a war happened between Britain n France that destroyed economy of France
In 1774 - King Louis 16 became new king of France
At that time all Peasant class had to give a religious tax to clergy and a nobility tax to nobility
In 1776 : America that was controlled by British, declared war against British n got independence
France helped America in it
It further destroyed economy of France
In 1776 - a secret society Illu mina ti was formed in Germany that was funded by wealthy Capitalist n used to have liberal views
In 1778, one more war happened between France and Britain that lasted for 5 years
By 1783, France economy was destroyed by wars and famine.
Common public was dying due to hunger n that time King Louise decided to build one new Royal place for him at Versailles
Queen was hedonist and extravagancy
King imposed more tax on Peasant Class
Now angry peasant class started to oppose King and demanded equal rights as Nobility n Clergy enjoying and a new system.
They started revolution.
Revolutionary were called Liberals or Radicals
Other side Nobility n Clergy wanted to continue same old system
They said that this differentiation was made by God n it sud not be challenged.
They were called traditionalist or Conservatives.
Peasants that were poor but they were more than 90% started revolution against King, Nobility n Clergy.
When French revolution intensified, King called a general assembly n invited all 3 section in 1789.
What happened next ?
Did liberals get equal rights ?
Why French revolution is considered milestone in human history ?
To be continued.... In next Part 2 (Evening)
