Infectious Diseases: An Overview

Changes to body physiology that disrupt normal body functions and are caused by microorganisms are called infectious diseases. This explanation, established by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch, is called the germ theory of disease.

The American Revolution (1775-1783)

Rebels disguised as American Indians boarded ships carrying tea and destroyed an entire shipment sent in defiance of the Tea Act of 1773. They threw the tea into Boston Harbor, ruining it.

Period of French Revolution

Increasing economic and political problems led Louis XVI to call the Estates-General in 1789 to increase taxes, sparking the revolution.

The National Assembly (1789)

The Third Estate proposed a system where each representative had a vote. The King refused, so members of the Third Estate declared themselves the true representatives, forming the National Assembly and demanding a constitution. The Oath of the Tennis Court (89) saw the Third Estate enclosed until France had a constitution.

Constituent Assembly (1789-1791)

The King agreed, and a Constituent Assembly was elected to write a constitution. Riots began in Paris streets, and on July 14, 1789, the Bastille (a political prison) was attacked. More riots started across... Continue reading "French Revolution: From Estates-General to Napoleon's Consulate" »
