  1. AS History -The French Revolution 1774-1795 The French Revolution in 1789 resulted in the execution of King Louis XVI and his queen Marie-Antoinette. It began a new period in world history and the power of the French Monarchy was changed forever and eventually abolished.

This worksheet is an introduction to the social problems in France before the revolution and the techniques needed for an AS source exam.
