Answer:

Other than the Protestant Reformation and World War One, the French Revolution is the most important period in modern European history.

Explanation:

The Revolution birthed the modern nation state. It ended the last vestiges of feudalism in Western and Central Europe. It spread Enlightenment ideas across Europe. It reshaped the border of Europe. It led to the rise of nationalism, which would unify Germany and break apart the Austrian Empire.  

Almost everything politically we take for granted in the West today (liberal democracy, the rule of law, government based on consent, the nature of civil rights and liberties) would not exist without the French Revolution.
