The 1789 French Revolution
The French revolution in 1789 is considered one of the great turning points in the history of the western world. In many ways it was inspired by the American Revolution that began thirteen years previous, but its repercussions were far more wide-ranging and spectacular. In many ways, the 1789 french revolution changed the fate of the western world, laying the ground for the crumbling of the staid monarchical traditions of old Europe and paving the way for the industrial revolution and democratization of the continent and, as a result, much of the rest of the world. The 1789 French revolution is significant because it marked the first time a European people revolted and successfully overthrew a sitting monarch with the goal of permanently replacing the monarchy.
