Whole books can be written about why and I suspect not a few PhDs have been the result. It was a popular revolt such has left recurring echoes in history. It was a totally new sort of event, previously unheard of but totally different from the American Revolution/War of independence…

Let us look at a number of the reasons:

The execution of a king and queen not due to rivalry from pretenders or other aristocrats but died to what would now be known as a “popular" court

The Terror is many ways was the first true political purge in history and was the forebear of many others

Today's political language comes from the French Revolution, beginning with “left" and “right"

The concept of “nation" comes from this period, before there were kingdoms and subjects, not citizens in the modern sense. As a result and without it there would not have been nationalism and all its consequences, including but not limited to Germany and Italy which had never existed before.

Without the revolution there would have been no Napoleon and no Empire with all the consequences, good and bad…

The list can go on and on…

It was the first revolution and as such was unexpected. The famous story, possibly apocryphal, of Bastille Day that Louis XVI asked “is this a revolt?” which was answered with “ No sire, a revolution “, reflects thus.

In this light, if the Romanov dynasty in Russia had studied history threshold have picked up the potential, beginning with the 1905 revolt and taken the steps necessary to prevent the two revolutions in 1917. Let the consequences of that sink in…

please mark the brainliest....
