Essentially, the French Revolution was a battle between the French Aristocrats/Political Leaders of France and the French peasants/common people. The peasants won.
The French Revolution was a period in time where the peasants - or common people - of France revolted/rebelled against the aristocrats and clergy of France. They did not approve of the kings and queens and other high-class leaders of France and the way they ran the country, and they revolted. Their first major action was the storming of the Bastille (a famous prison in France) that is now celebrated as "Bastille Day" on July 14 in France. The French Revolution is the time famous for the guillotine - a big mechanical machine that was used to kill aristocrats and other supposed threats against the French peasants by decapitation. This is the same time period in which the famed queen Marie Antoinette was killed.
