Answer:
The ideas of liberty and democratic rights were the most important legacy of the French Revolution. These spread from France to the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century, where feudal systems were abolished. It inspired the Germans, Italians, and Austrians to overthrow their oppressive regimes.
Explanation:
The French Revolution was liberty, equality, fraternity, horror, mass-murder, romance, hunger, passion and some more mass-murder all rolled into one.
Now, there are some who believe that the Revolution made the world a better place to live in and then there are some who believe (with a fierce passion) .
But just like any event of any consequence in history, it did both of those things. Made some mess and cleared some up. I’ll break it down for you in bullets.
Negative Impact
Thousands of people executed during the Reign of Terror, courtesy of La Guillotine
More than 2 decades of war for France
It got rid of one monarch (Louis XVI) only to give rise to another one (Napoleon Bonaparte)
Widespread hunger and poverty everywhere you looked
All the wars made sure the peace in Europe was as fragile as ever
Now for the positive impact
First of all, it plucked out Monarchy, root and stem, and gave the world a new form of governance - DEMOCRACY. If it weren’t for the Revolution, people would still be grovelling at the feet of obese kings.
It put an end to the Clergy’s appalling tyranny. Priests were no longer allowed to parade themselves to be ‘holier than thou’
The Revolution said NO to any preferential treatment. Everybody works. Everybody pays taxes. NO exceptions.
It gave birth to the greatest literary movement of all time - Romanticism, where poets like William Wordsworth, John Keats, Shelly, Byron, Samuel Coleridge etc., filled the world with their magic. Essentially art, in all its beautiful forms, flourished.
People (eventually) enjoyed a better life where they could educate their children, have equal job opportunities and not be treated like slave scum.
Economy-wise things improved drastically. People started getting paid for the work they did and could afford the bare minimum required to sustain life.
Most importantly, it gave people hope of a new life filled with new ideals and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
hope it's helpful!!!
