There were reforms in places such as economy and education, but France was also made into a military state. The committee instates Levee en Masse.

- Causes of the French Revolution The causes for the french revolution include corruption and inefficiency in government, no standardized law code, terrible economy, privileges of birth (nobles cld get away with things peasants could not). Also the ideas of divine rights of kings contradicted those of the enlightenment. There was no people's assembly where citizens could voice their concerns about the way the government is handling things. Also, weak, poor nobles with little lands still managed to hold way more power than strong rich men in the 3rd estate.
- The Fall of Napoleon Bonaparte The main turning point of the fall of Napoleon was the French Invasion of Russia. Napoleon's goal was to make it to Moscow and cut them down at the herd, but Russia wrecked Napoleon's army with Fabian tactics, stringing him about over the countryside with no supplies. By the time Napoleon even makes it to Moscow everything is empty. He has to rush home to France and he leaves his army there to fend for themselves. Hundreds of thousands of people die. After that, Napoleon takes a big loss in the war of 1812 and Europe is officially fed up with him and forces him to resign. Napoleon agrees to the treaty of Chaumont but he does not sign it. He is exhiled in Elba. Later, after the congress of Vienna, Napoleon escapes his exile, amasses a new army and retakes france. He swears he wont fight anyone so they all just fight him. Napoleon suffers his final loss at the Battle of Waterloo from the british and the prussians. He is forced into exile on St Helena.
