Answer:
Hi! I actually did an assignment just like this in history so I could help you out.
For your song, you could write lyrics about different events during the French Revolution. Here are some ideas:
1. The Fall of Bastille
The Fall of Bastille took place on July 14, 1789. What happened was that an angry crowd marched on the Bastille. It was a fortress that housed political prisoners. To many French people, it was a symbol of the very notorious and hated Louis' regime. Parisians who were unemployed and hungry vent their frustrations there.
2. March on Versailles
A lot of people in Paris were hungry and unemployed, In October, a large crowd of protesters, mainly made up of women, marched from Paris to the Palace of Versailles.
3. War
There was a lot of war going on during this time. Tension with the rest of Europe was rapidly increasing. Revolutionary France was viewed with fear and anger by European monarchies. More and more French people wanted to start a war. On April 20, 1792, France declared war on Austria.
These are just a few ideas for your song. You can read up more on these events to write your lyrics. Good luck!
