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
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.
