What are the chronological events of the French Revolution?

Events leading up to and including the French Revolution
spanned more than two decades. The beginning of the Seven Years War in 1756 added to the
mounting French debt; the American Revolution, and France's decision to side with the
colonies against England, added to their financial woes. The subsequent American victory
gave the French hope that a revolt of their own could be successful. Marie Antoinette
was discredited during the Diamond Necklace affair in 1785, and the royal finances were
determined to be insolvent the following year. In 1787, King Louis dismissed the
Parisian parliament and dissolved all political organizations in Paris. The French
government officially declared bankruptcy in August 1788, and Parisian riots began in
early 1789. The Bastille was stormed in April 1789, and in September 1791 King Louis
accepted the terms of the new constitution. Louis and Marie Antoinette were eventually
guillotined in 1793, but the actual conclusion of the revolution lasted until the next
millenium.
