The
French Revolution
is one of the most important events in modern history. It
was more radical than either the English or American Revolutions,
and had a far greater impact on 19th century Europe. The
unthinkable fall of the Bourbons resonated throughout Europe,
sparking a series of revolutions which rallied behind liberalism
and nationalism. The major socialist revolutions of the
twentieth century in Russia, China and Cuba were inspired
the French example. |
