This book explores the pivotal events leading to the downfall of Louis XVI and the abolition of the French monarchy during the French Revolution. The book offers an in-depth analysis of the political, social, and ideological shifts that transformed France from an absolute monarchy into the First French Republic. Beginning with Louis XVI's ascent to the throne and his initial attempts to navigate the political and financial crises of his reign, the narrative traces the events that led to the king's eventual downfall, including his failed flight to Varennes, the radicalization of the Revolution, and the rise of revolutionary factions such as the Jacobins.
