The French Revolution

Nelson Modern History Series

The French Revolution has been developed for senior secondary students of History and is part of the Nelson Modern History series.

The book is based on the understanding that History is an interpretive study of the past by which students also come to better appreciate the making of the modern world. Developing understandings of the past and present in senior History extends on the skills learnt in earlier years. Students will use historical skills, including research, evaluation, synthesis, analysis and communication. They will rely on their knowledge of the historical concepts such as evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, significance, empathy, perspectives and contestability, to understand and interpret societies from the past. The activities and tasks have been written to ensure that students develop the skills and attributes required for senior History subjects.

The French Revolution traces the long and short term causes of the French Revolution to the October Days and its consequences up to the dissolution of the Convention and beyond. Integrating recent historiography as well as a broad range of text and visual primary sources, this text is an engaging, clear and concise analysis of the French Revolution.
