Homeschool History: The French Revolution – Episode 1
What drives a people to revolution? What happens when the oppressed discover their collective strength, and the ruling class, blind in its comfort, refuses to see them?
This sweeping, immersive episode begins with the underlying causes of the French Revolution: class inequality, reckless government spending, and the arrogance of the monarchy. From the gilded halls of Versailles to the storming of the Bastille, we follow fictional characters Pierre and Jacques as they bear witness to history… experiencing both the hope and horror of an uprising long in the making.
Blending narrative dramatization with moral reflection, this episode lays the foundation for understanding how and why the Revolution erupted… and what its early triumphs would soon cost.
