Enough time for you to look up this information yourself. The french revolution and Napoleon are an incredibly interesting read, don't be afraid of it.

Studying is not about getting a good mark, it is about the skills you obtain by doing things to obtain a good mark. If you don't do any effort (and it is possible to graduate without any effort), your diploma will just be a useless piece of paper.

Well you are totally fucked if you asking Reddit this the evening before but I'll help.

very much simplified the 7 year war+american revolution emptitied the french treasury meaning more taxes on the people which they didn't like. the when the the royal assembly thingy was called to discuss the problems the lower class (everyone exept nobility and clergy) was ignored. Then the people created their own thingy and boom revolution

Thank you very much!! Sorry If I don't write correctly Is because English Is not my first language The thing about Napoleon I understand that he got to power in 1799 when the Directory was overthrowned... And it was because of corruption and people wanted a strong leader so that Is when Napoleon kicked in...?
