This is the storming of Bastille. This was important because it was the biggest step against the king. In this I got that even the commoners can fight against the king. This also shows that the king was not ready and did not foresee and overthrow.
The guillotine was a big part in the French Revolution because it killed more than 40,000 people that were accused of being unloyal to the king. This also relates to the Committee of Public Safety because it was they who ruled France during the revolution for a short period of time.From these 3 pictures you can tell that the French Revolution was very bloody. You can also see that middle class people wanted to be equal and have rights, and that people wanted to overthrow the king to restore peace.
