Answer:
Marseillaise was a patriotic song composed
by poet Roget de L Isle. Although Louis XVI signed the constitution, he entered
into secret negotiations with the King of Prussia. Rulers of the other
neighbouring countries too were worried by the developments in France and made
plans to send troops to put down the events that had been taking place there since
the summer of 1789. Before this could happen, the National Assembly voted in
April 1792, and declared war against Prussia and Austria. Thousands of
volunteers thronged from the provinces to join the army. They saw this as a war
of the people against kings and aristocracies all over Europe. So Marseillaise
was sung for the first time by the volunteers from Marseilles as they marched
into Paris and so got its name. The Marseillaise is now the national anthem of
France.
