The French Revolution

The French Revolution was a social and political conflict in France that had a major impact on France and indeed all of Europe, with varying periods of violence that convulsed France and, by extension, its implications, other European nations facing supporters and opponents of the system known as the Old Regime.
The FrenchRevolution was not only a crucial event considered in the context of Western history, but was also, perhaps the single most crucial influence on British intellectual, philosophical, and political life in the nineteenth century. In its early stages it portrayed itself as a triumph of the forces of reason over those of superstition and privilege, and as such it was welcomed not only by Englishradicals, who characteristically, saw it as a symbolic act which presaged the return of humanity to the state of perfection from which it had fallen away, but by many liberals as well, and by some who saw it, with its declared emphasis on "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity".

The next few years were dominated by tensions between various liberal assemblies and a right-wing monarchy intent on thwarting major reforms. Also a republic was proclaimed in September 1792 and King Louis XVI was executed the next year. External threats also played a dominant role in the development of the Revolution. The French Revolutionary Wars started in 1792and ultimately featured spectacular French victories that facilitated the conquest of the Italian Peninsula, the Low Countries and most territories west of the Rhine  achievements that had defied previous French governments for centuries.
