On the 14th of July, 1789, a mob of rightfully furious French peasants stormed the Fortress Bastille, declaring war on those who resided with power, and later converting it into a prison for the Royal Family.
At the time, France was split into 2 distinct categories, the rich and the poor. Those born to the poorer half of society could do next to, if not nothing to break out of the their oppressing classes. These people had 2 choices; to live as a slave to the upper classes or to rot in poverty on the French streets. The Revolution was one due to inequality and arbitrary rules made and enforced by those who were lucky enough to sit above the rest.
After 10 years the revolution was complete. The peasants taking victory and the royal family left, completely abolished. This change would go on, to spike further armed conflict and schism with various other European countries, inviting the famous reign of Napoleon Bonaparte.
