	After the popular revolts, the Kingdom of France experienced many changes. Politically, the royal family resided in the [[Tuileries Palace]] in Paris and the National Assembly in the ''Salle du Manège'' near the'' Jardins des Tuileries''. The National Assembly was elected by the people and the territory was reorganized into departments. Many political clubs opened during the Revolution, as the [[Jacobins\|Jacobins Club]] or the Club of Cordeliers with [[Georges Danton]], a famous orator during the Revolution. The ''Bastille'' was disassembled to erase the symbol of the monarchy's arbitrary power and used the stone for other monuments, such as the Concord bridge. The freedom of the press increased with a number of journals created, with revolutionary journals such as ''L'Ami du peuple'' of [[Jean-Paul Marat]] and ''le Père Duschesne'' of [[Jacques Hébert]], or royalist ones such as ''[[Les Actes des Apôtres]]'', to inform the population of the events in the country, which only served to polarize their opinion. For decreasing the debt of France, a new paper money was created, the assignats which was backed by the values of the properties of the Church confiscated by the Nation.

	The equality between people was searched for in every field, even in death. Dr. Guillotin militated for the equality of the death sentence, while Antoine Louis and [[Tobias Schmidt]] worked on a machine that would make the death painless.

The Church in France was also reformed with the requisition of land from the Church and the end of all monastic vows. On 12 July 1790, the [[Civil Constitution of the Clergy]] was approved, ending the monastic orders in France and ordering the clergymen to affirm their oath to the State of France and not the Pope. The priests who refused were called "refractory priests" and the Pope didn't recognize the Constitution. A year after the storming of the Bastille, the Fête de la Fédération was organized to prove the unity of the country with the King, the National Assembly, and the People. The ceremony was in fact a success.<ref name="ACU"/>		The equality between people was searched for in every field, even in death.

	[[File:NapoleonAlps.jpg\|thumb\|left\|250px\|Napoleon crossing the Alps]]Overall, the Revolution did see the abolishment of the Ancien Régime and the French monarchy, reducing the power of the Church in France, but it also established the principles of inalienable rights in the ''Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen''. The ideals of equality, liberty and self representative government of a nation developed in the world. Many revolutions occurred during the next century inspired by this one, as in South America in the 1810's, Europe in the middle of the 19th century, and the [[Russian Revolution]] during [[World War I]]. But, this period is also remembered as a bloody era with the Reign of Terror and the wars between the French Republic and the European monarchies and later the [[Napoleonic Wars]], creating an atmosphere of fear in Europe against the revolutionary ideals during the 19th century. Today, for the most part, the countries around the world are based on a regime with legislative chambers who represent their nations.

	The Revolution, which saw a period of instability after the death of the king, paved the way for the foundation of the French Empire by Napoleon Bonaparte,<ref name="ACI">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]''</ref> who used the Apple of Eden to expand the holdings of his new empire.<ref name="AC2"/> This change of regime between the monarchy, the republic, and the empire would punctuate the political story of France during the 19th century, as the brothers of Louis XVI, Louis XVIII and [[Charles X of France]] returned to the throne after the fall of Napoleon. This constitutional monarchy lasted until July 1830, when a revolution in Paris brought Philippe Égalité's son, Louis Philippe, to the throne. He served as a king for eighteen years before another revolution ended the monarchy and proclaimed the Second Republic inspired by the ideals of French author and Assassin [[Sophie Trenet]]. Napoleon's nephew, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, became the first president of this Republic before proclaiming himself emperor as Napoleon III. His empire fell in September 1870 after France was defeated by the Prussian Army. A new republic was created, but the Paris Commune rose again and took over the capital for two months before being broken by the republican troops. Since this event, France remained a republic all these years except during the Nazi occupation of France during [[World War II]]. Events such as the ~~Storming~~ of the Bastille, symbols such as the tricolor flag and the motto ''Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité'' are still celebrated in France as part of their national identity.

			The revolution was a dynamic process but ''Unity'' shows it quite static in the streets. One blatant example is the [[:File:Flag of France.svg.png\|national flag]] waved by people in crowds and hanging from buildings, sometimes drawn on walls. People storming the Bastille wore the {{Wiki\|File:Flag of Paris.svg\|colors of Paris}} and other color schemes. Then, the {{Wiki\|File:Flag of France (1790–1794).svg\|older flag design}} with the reversed order of colors was used in the years 1790-1794. The current design was approved on 15 February 1794. This makes all depictions of the French flag wrong until sequence 12, memory 1 [[The Supreme Being]], the last sequence in the base game. Other examples are [[La Marseillaise]] being sung before it was composed, the Bastille not being destructed, the inscription on the Panthéon or simply crowds rallying regardless of the current political situation.
