Effects of French Revolution

[KoolDrew]

Can anybody tell me one immediate effect and one long-term effect of the French Revolution on the lives of people involved?

HW eh?

 

Immediate effect: it was the best of times.
Long-term effect: it was the worst of times.

A lot of records were lost during that period, so it is difficult to trace ancestry back before that time.

One immediate effect: Lots of frencies died

One long-term effect: Less frenchies in the world.

nationalism was invented. Led to the long series of wars over nationalism/soverignty etc that continue to plague much of the world. We're still dealing with the collapse of the austria and ottoman empires, which were largely brought on by the spread of natioanlism and patriotism during the napoleanic wars.

Also the Holy Roman Empire finally ceased to exist.

I just didn't want this to slip through the cracks, because it does in fact kick ass.

No getting homework answers on OT, sorry. People aren't very inclined to help you out.

Here's a good start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution

It is widely seen as a turning point in European history, from the age of absolutism to that of the citizenry, and even of the masses, as the dominant political force.

I bet if you read farther, you'll get more detail.

The birth of modern nationalism, duh.

France became a republic
Apparently, IIRC, the Queen/King got "pwn3d" by a hungry and angry populace.
