Révolution française Episode 1 : Les états généraux

What is the National Party? How do the Estates-General function? By what means will the Third Estate assembly impose its political demands? What is the king’s position? From the summoning of the Estates-General to the Tennis Court Oath, this episode explores the emergence of a new sovereignty—the initial weeks of a political revolution where anything could shift dramatically. In this video, we’ll pause at June 22, 1789. In the next one, we'll continue from the Royal Session on June 23 up to the night of August 4, marking the abolition of privileges. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ Videos on the causes: Causes of the French Revolution (1/2):    • Les causes de la révolution française (par...   Causes of the French Revolution (2/2) :    • Les causes de la révolution française (par...   ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ Sources used or mentioned in this video: Arthur Young, Travels in France, for his firsthand observations and accounts of the early days of the Revolution.
