King Louis XVI crowned
in 1774, King Louis XVI came heir to the throne, and he was the last Bourbon king of France, and the French Revolution come crashing down on him which later led to his execution in 1793.
If I was a French person, I may believe King Louis XVI is a well emperor, I cannot predict that he will be a very useless emperor, and I cannot predict that there will be a revolution.

Formation of National Assembly
On this day, the National Assembly was formed, the treated estate saw how they were getting treated in the means of a vote, so they decided to make their own assembly which can represent theirselves.
I feel surprising about this, because the third estate stand out and fight back the monarchy and created their own assembly.

Tennis Court Oath
Originally, supporters of the National Assembly should had a meeting in the meeting hall, but King Louis XVI locked the meeting hall, so the supporters of the National Assembly moved to a nearby Tennis Court.
I feel surprisingly about this event, because the supporters did not give up because of the situation, they gathered their power, and make a nearby tennis court as their meeting hall.

Attack on Bastille
Bastille was a prison in Paris, and Bastille was attacked by an angry mob on July 14 1789. This day was symbolically marked the beginning of the French revolution, because this is the first time French people started a physical attack.
I feel shock about this event, because attacking a prison is a very dangerous event, but happily this event marked a beginning of French revolution.

This is a significant episode in the French Revolution, which King Louis XVI attempted unsuccessfully to escape from Paris.
