The historic fall of the Bastille acts as an iconic point in the violent history of the French Revolution. When the suffering residents of Paris attacked the fortress-prison on July 14, 1789, they broke free from oppression. The Bastille's capture was not just a military victory, but it was also an important demonstration of the will of the people and the beginning of a significant drift in France's political and social environment. Its crumbling walls triggered a wave of change, promoting the principles of liberty, equality, and solidarity that would 11 change history. Not only for France, but for the entire world. THE FALLOF THEBASTILLE Turning Point in the French Revolution
VERSAILLES MARCH “It's October 5, 1789, and food is scarce, and prices are sky-high. We're fed up with starving while the royals in Versailles live in luxury. So, thousands of us, mostly women, decide to do something about it. We march from Paris to Versailles, which was a hardship. We're not armed with weapons but with determination to get bread for our families. Queen Marie Antoinette's infamous "Let them eat cake" comment stings us, making our resolve even stronger. On ground at Versailles, a brave woman shares her experience of the march.. When we finally get to Versailles and face King Louis XVI and the royal court, it's a historic moment. We demand action, and the king and queen are forced to come back to Paris with us. What's so important here is that regular people, especially women, stood up to the monarchy. We proved that our voices matter and that we won't tolerate injustice. This march is a symbol of our strength and our fight for a better, fairer France. It's a big moment in the French Revolution, showing that ordinary people can change history.” Our source has asked to remain anonymous for her and her families safety. We commend her bravery to share her story with the rest of the country. The women of France take action! VOLUME 10 | ISSUE 1 EDITION #1
JACOBINSVS GIRONDINS Revolutionary News The two political groups the Jacobins lead by Maximilian Robespierre and the Girondins lead by Georges Danton both had key roles in the revolution but their reasoning and beliefs often clash. The difference between the two groups is the Jacobins are against the French monarchy and the Girondins support the idea of a constitutional monarchy and were opposed to the execution of King Louis XVI and are also opposed to the continuation of the revolution before it gets out of hand. But the Jacobins have not stopped their Reign of Terror and we can only wait and see which group will take action against the other and which political group will be left standing.

Issue 1 Marie Antoinette THE QUEEN REMAINS TO LIVE LAVISH; WHILE FRANCE CRUMBLES
Antoinette, 1789 During the chaos of the French Revolution, we find ourselves mind blown day by day, by the luxorious lifestyle of Queen Marie Antoinette. She lives like royalty, while the rest of us endure unimaginable hardships. Her extravagant spending habits, famously captured in her remark, "Let them eat cake," highlight her complete disconnect from the everyday struggles we face. Marie Antoinette's love for lavish clothing and extravagant parties only deepens the divide between us, the common people, and the monarchy. It's infuriating to witness her blindness to our struggle, as she continues to indulge herself without a second thought. In simpler terms, her opposite life compared to ours serves as a powerful symbol of the problems within the monarchy. It forces us to reflect on how the excessive wealth and privilege of our leaders can make our suffering worse. Marie Antoinette's extravagant lifestyle is a constant reminder of the inequality that fuels our revolution. 6

COMMITTEE OFPUBLIC SAFETYEVOLUTION OF AUTHORITY The Committee of Public Safety was established in 1793 as part of the French Revolution to run the government and defend France from enemies. It initially had nine members, including a man named Georges Danton who desired peace. However, they were unable to deal with the challenges, therefore they were replaced by more radical individuals under the leadership of Maximilien Robespierre. With the help of a group known as the Jacobins, these radicals were able to dominate not just the committee for nearly a year, but also all of France and its government. They essentially ruled the country like rulers.
