Our staff here at REVMag has rounded up our 5 most popular and influential articles here. Now you can look back and remember all those big moments in history you were not involved in.

5. Brissot Declares War

We loved Jaques-Pierre Brissot for his writing (and his six-pack!) We loved him even more for his leadership skills. But once he had power, it seemed as if a few screws came loose in his head. Declaring war on Austria, seriously? We love guys who take action head-on, but this was just too crazy. The last thing we need during a revolution is a war with another country.

4. Calonne's Radical Tax Plan

Nobody wants to be in debt, but that's what the French Government was looking at. When Charles de Calonne went into office, he proposed a radical new way to mget out of debt. He wanted to have an equal land tax, and wanted the upper classes and church to contribute money to the country! Too bad for him, his plan never left the assembly.

3. Lazare Carnot's Rise in Politics

How do you go from nerdy geek to political heartthrob? Easy, just do what Lazare Carnot did. He started off as a talented engineer, and earned a high rank in the military. Afterwards, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly and National Convention. Even so, he still remembered the military and fought alongside them. He helped end the bloody reign of Maximilien Robespierre, and was then elected to the Directory. Clearly, he knows how to get work done!

2. Robespierre's Reign of Terror

Bloody. That's how the Reign of Terror could be described in one word. Thousands were executed each day, from young maidens to grown men and everything in between. By the end of this period, not even experts knew for sure just how many people had met their maker through madame guillotine. As for Maximilien Robespierre, the man behind it all, his life ended the same way as those he pursued.

1. The End of the Monarchy

France had been a kingdom an incredibly long time. The English were nowhere in sight, and the Palace of Versailles was practically perfect in every way. The nation, however, was far from perfect. As the divide between the classes grew, so did the resentment for the king and his lavish ways of spending money. In 1792, the monarchy officially ended. Not long after, both the King and Queen were sent to trial and guillotined (separately).  Video Tutorial: Noble Makeup!
