The revolution that led to the establishment of the Republic of France in 1792 was the French Revolution. Beginning in 1789, the revolution sought to overthrow the absolute monarchy and challenge the societal structures of the Ancien Régime. The revolution was fueled by widespread discontent with high taxes, food shortages, and social inequality. The fall of the Bastille in July 1789 symbolized the uprising against royal authority. By 1792, revolutionary fervor culminated in the establishment of the First French Republic after the French monarchy was abolished, marking a significant turning point in history that inspired democratic movements worldwide.
