Revolutions have always been a significant point in parts of history, it shows how people emotions can finally demand change. For years and years many people just go with how they were brought up or with how things are going, and the same cycle just keeps going on and on as usual. But it's when the power of people coming together to finally create a change that miracles happen and revolutions take place to create a new society with new changes installed. I am so amazed on how so many people finally find the courage to go against establishments and finally stand up for themselves. For example the Chinese people were able to stan up to their government, but the unexpected happened, and the government actually fought back with serve force causing many of the Chinese that revolted to be killed. For the courage that the many Chinese people had to continue to fight and pursue their vision and to keep on fighting for what they believe was just so courageous. Eventually the Chinese people were able to get what they were fighting for and victory was accomplished, but not at the cost of many of the lives of the fellow people that were right by their side helping them accomplish their goals.
The French people honored their bravery and courage by having a memorial for the Chinese people lost in the revolution. To honor the brave people who had passed, the French people by using empty bicycles to symbolize thousands of the colleagues who had been lost or killed in the Chinese's struggle for democracy.
In 1789-1815 was when the french revolution took place, which was a very big dispute among the common people and royalty, the common people felt that the members of the royal household were abusing their power and taking advantage of the common people, who would work very hard just to get by. Many common people were angered by the raise in cost of many goods, bread for example was a very big problem that caused a great ruckus. There was also a very huge unemployment rate for the common people which was constantly on the rise, which was finally one of the very last straws for them. The French people were tired of the taxes, church, and nobility; so they started to finally sum up the courage to revolt. Just like that a revolution was at hand and the country of France was in line for a change! The people of France had a lot of heart and determination to change the way that France was being ran, so I do applaud them for their valiant efforts that they showed, which resulted in success. They were able to run the French King Louis XVI out and he was eventually executed, causing the Revolution to become a success! Revolutions are very powerful and speaks the true voice of the people!
