It brought down old (fedual) order and inaugurated new (capitalist) one. It was the most important political revolution in histoy of mankind. Evry modern ideology (liberslism, communism, socialism, nationalism,... is based upon it. Other revolutions were important for regions where they happend (like american revolution), franch revolution changed the world in long terms.
It changed the western world, other civilizations were just marginally touched by it. And it is rather over-estimated concerning freedom. Only the first three years were free and democratic. Then came a phase of pre-communist terror and in the end a military dicatorship. The optimism of enlightenment was over. And Europe slidely turned away from its traditional heritage.
And capitalism´s rise is english pure and simple and started some decades before.
@KarlMartell732 French Revolution was greatest event in human history, because it was victory of enlightement ideals. Without FR, you would be still stupid, primitive and enslaved servant. Because of FR, we know ourselfs, we know we have value, we are people and we are not just king/queen puppets. Also all transatlantic civilization political systems are based on FR political system.
Btw. capitalism began in italian states, especialy Florentia and Venice, in 15th century.
No, that´s basically not true. Prussia was in comparison to Bourbon France way more liberal and enlightened. We could have get to a free society without the rivers of blood in France. What that revolution brought to us was Napoleon´s aggression and a century long hatred between our nations.
@kortan222 Unfortunatelly we have new kings. These are bankers, corporationist and politicians. This is very enslaving system as well like monarchy was.
@kortan222 We are still enslaved servants by so many ideologies which have their roots in French Revolution. These are communism, socialism, liberalism.
We are not king/queens pupets anymore but we are pupets of politicians, bankers, dictators which we have many in Europe after revolution. We are not free.
@nemaspasa The French Revolution was very bloody and was the evil root of total crap like communism, socialism which we suffer until now. Evil root and very poisoned fruits like all these ideologies which gave so much suffer.
When the French saw the Americans victory with their revolution, they thought they could do it themselves, but I do think it was a bit too much. The bloodshed was horrific.
Except they actually succeeded. They did beat all of Europe into oblivion, and the republic did survive all the attacks european monarchies threw at it. It died out because some French officiers (guess who I'm talking about) did a coup d'état to kill it.
@dcgirl1998 Americans didn't have a revolution. They had a revolt against a colonizing exterior power (England). The French reformed *themselves* after over 1000 years of monarchy. Look how hard it is in modern America to even pass a single reform through congress. And yet, the USA is just over 200 years old. What the French did is unique in the history of the world. Change totally 1000 years of their own system overnight.
@dcgirl1998 It was same bloodshed as during American War for Independence, where British and loyalists massacred revolutionaries American colonists, and colonists massacred British and loyalists POW´s.
@BrfSvardet say what you will but an absolute monarchy (backed by the idea of divine right) was never seen in France again. The aristocracy also felt a blow to its power as well.
@BrfSvardet Stupidest comment I ever read in my life. Didn't change anything? What history book did you read? Or should I say.. go read a history book.
@BrfSvardet Not in itself, it's the Terror Years after but it's been overcomed thankfully. For the huge majority of what it brought, The French Revolution was one of the best event on Earth!
@AuxaneD Well that is a bit of an overreaction. Their were revolutions before in America, England, Holland etc. Furthermore the results of the revolution may have changed from a on birth aimed society to a on skills based society, but in terms of real political change it didn't change that much. Power remained in the hands of the individuals. A revolution is by the way never the answer to solve the problems.
