-Robespierre and The Reign of Terror-

-"Liberty cannot be secured unless criminals lose there heads" this is what Robespierre said. The middle class and the poor class had more power than they ever had because things in France were more democratic. With the new power people went a little crazy with it ,that's when there was a period of time called the Reign of Terror. Robespierre took over with his power he just started cutting peoples heads off. For instance there was this gang called the Jacobins they went around looking for people that were connected with the old regime cutting there heads off with the famous guillotine. They even killed louis the 16th finding him for treason. He changed the days of the week and got rid of sunday saying that it was too religious so all the church's were closed. The Reign of Terror ended when Napoleon Bonaparte stepped in and brought everything that Robespierre destroyed to peace once again.

-Scientific Revolution: Scientific Method-

-The scientific revolution did not happen all at once, or did it begin at any set date. Realistically speaking, the scientific revolution that we associate with Galileo, Francis Bacon, and Isaac Newton, began much earlier. You can push the date back to the work of Nicolaus Copernicus at the beginning of the 17th century, or Leonardo da Vinci in the middle of the 15th. Even then, you haven't gone back far enough and you haven't included all the factors that contributed to the set of epistemological transformations that we call the scientific revolution.
The Scientific Method is the way we prove all our conclusions through studying and examining until only facts remain. Before the scientific revolution, scientist would come to conclusions before facts and belief before examination-

-evolution vs creation-

Darwin theory said that all living thing were related.this theory sounded kind funny ,because of the fat that it saids a banana and a bird can be realtive? he though over time ''mutations'' accumalate and then pretty much become an totally different organism. Darwins therorys are a natural selection of an taking advantage slight successive variations. V.S creation. Darwins theroies were really belived to be B.S due to the 20th centry when things started to envolve more. Studies found that all these Dawins belive were untrue, some felt so strongly about darwins theory to the point that this held a ''great debate''.This was good for scientific times it helped us really come to an conculsion of how life and organisms procces on earth

The french revolution began in 1789 with the meeting of the States General in May. this was 13 years after the american revolution. On July 14 of that same year, the Bastille was stormed, in October, Louis XVI(16) and the Royal Family were removed from Versailles to Paris. The King attempted, unsuccessfully, to flee Paris for Varennes in June 1791. A Legislative Assembly sat from October 1791 until September 1792, when, in the face of the advance of the allied armies of Austria, Holland, Prussia, and Sardinia, it was replaced by the National Convention, which proclaimed the Republic. The King was brought to trial in December of 1792, and executed on January 21, 1793. In January of 1793 the revolutionary government declared war on Britain, a war for world dominion which had been carried on, with short intermissions, since the beginning of the reign of William and Mary, and which would continue for another twenty-two years.
