Highlight the probable effects of printing on french revolution?
Answers
There is no doubt that the French Revolution changed France enormously in the short term. But the extent to which it changed France in the long term, versus the extent to which the revolution simply interrupted long term developments which really produced modern France, is hotly contested. It is fairly easy to conclude that the revolution produced in France an identity and ideology which was not only new, but self-consciously so, deliberately drawing nothing from the history which preceded the events of 1789-95.
The monarchy was removed from power, the king and queen executed, and new forms of government tried in an attempt to find stability. Even when the monarchy was restored – albeit temporarily in 1814 – there remained an elected legislature which has endured.
There was also, at various stages of the revolution, a deliberate attempt to build a new France, with a complete wiping away of seigniorial dues, aristocratic titles, a mass of taxation and tithes, and a whole host of other hangovers from the supposedly ‘feudal’ government of old regime France. The idea of three ‘estates’ was abolished, as were noble and church privileges; nobility was completely ended, and church lands were nationalized and sold, causing a full tenth of all land in France to change hands, a massive redistribution. The clergy became salaried officials of the state. Most of these changes took place in only two years, a tiny timescale for such sweeping reform.
You can see how people would be tempted to think there were massive, long-term changes as a result.
