The French Revolution had a massive impact on the world. One of the more well known impacts is the domino effect of revolutions inspired by the French Revolution.
In Haiti, which at the time of the French Revolution was a French colony called Saint Domingue, independence movements broke out when the National Assembly passed the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. If all men are free, could that include the enslaved Africans in the French colony of Saint Domingue? Initially, all men in Haiti were granted their freedom, until Napoleon's need to finance his wars in the early 19th century saw the reinstatement of slavery of Haiti. After a few years of fighting, the Haitians won their independence from France, a movement directly caused by the French Revolution. When Haiti became independent, revolutionary leaders in South America like Simon Bolivar were inspired to fight for independence in many South American colonies, and most achieved their independence by 1825.
In Europe, other nations that had similar social problems and political structures of revolutionary France staged similar liberal independence movements. Some countries who attempted revolution include Italy, Prussia, Austria, Germany, and France (again). These are called the revolutions of 1848
