Main causes of French revolution legacy or impact of French revolution on Europe |
|
Answer» Answer: The French Revolution had a major impact on Europe and the New World. Historians have regarded the Revolution as one of the most important events in human HISTORY. In the short-term, France lost THOUSANDS of its country men in the form of emigrants who wished to escape political tensions and save their lives. A number of individuals had settled in neighboring countries ( Great Britain, Germany, Austria, and Prussia), however quite a few also went to the United States. The displacement of those Frenchmen LED to a spread of French culture, policies regulating immigration, and a safe haven for Royalists and other counter revolutionaries to outlast the violence of the French Revolution. The long-term impact on France was profound, shaping politics, society, religion and ideas, and polarizing politics for more than a century. The closer other countries were, the greater and deeper was the French impact, bringing LIBERALISM and the end of many feudal or traditional laws and practice. However, there was also a conservative counter-reaction that defeated Napoleon, reinstalled the Bourbon kings, and in some ways reversed the new reforms. |
