    The French Revolution did not have a good ending. It ended with the first Nationalist Emperor in modern history: Napoleon.

    I’m begging y’all to actually read some books.

      Apparently the creation of the First French Republic, which abolished feudalism and monarchy, created a declaration of human and civil rights that was foundational for a century of liberal democratic revolutions all across Europe and is still celebrated today as a national holiday, wasn’t a good ending because the forces of reaction managed to get back in power for a few years. Unbelievable…

      Maybe the first republic would have lasted longer if they dressed up in frog costumes?
