Discontent fueled by starvation and inequality led to the revolution against the elite, featuring the infamous guillotine as a tool of execution. Notable events include the storming of the Bastille on July 14, celebrated as Bastille Day. The revolution's outcome reshaped society and governance in France, highlighting the struggle of the Third Estate against the privileged First and Second Estates.
