turning points in their lives that changed the world. They went through the tennis court oath, storming of bastille, overthrowing of the monarchy, when king Louis died, and when the reign of terror ended and there was finally justice. Listen to

revolution, over 50,000 innocent people died. There was never any true justice for the men and women of France, but now, France can live with fraternity, liberty, and

equality.
