Where did the French revolution of 1789 take place?

It took place in France. The French Revolution was a revolt initiated and carried out by the peasants of France against the aristocrats and clergy of France, which spread throughout the entire country of France and even seeped into other parts of Europe. There were disturbances from 1787 to 1789, and armed conflicts from 1789 to 1799, including the Reign of Terror (1793-1794). France occupied Belgium and the Netherlands following the establishment of the First Republic in 1792. Events in 1789 began with the convocation of the Estates-General in May. The first year of the Revolution witnessed members of the Third Estate proclaiming the Tennis Court Oath in June, the assault on the Bastille in July, the passage of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in August, and an epic march on Versailles that forced the royal court back to Paris in October. A well-known event mentioned above was the storming of the Bastille - a building that was, at the time, a large prison. Many aristocrats would throw peasants in jail (Bastille being a major one) for no legitimate reason. They had the right to do this because of their royalty.


How was France ruled in 1789?

Badly. King Louis and Marie were oblivious to the rumblings of a starving and oppressed public. And 1789 France ended being ruled by a hodge-podge of unruly lynch mobs with a new and effective device designed to separate the undesirable's bodies from their heads, en masse. The French government is wary of an unruly citizenry to this day.
