  1. It didn't, it just changed France, although it did have some influence on other societies I can't say that it actually changed the world.

    The revolution in France was more devastating to the common man or woman than what the French royalty themselves were doing to the people! People don't see that nor read the history of what happened when the tyrants killed all the Princes, and royal lines. When there was no more royalty, or wealthy to kill they actually turned on each other. That is not spoken of in the history books all that much. It isn't common knowledge what the leaders of the revolution did to their own when they had rid themselves of the King and Queen, the princes and princesses, the lords, and the dukes.

    The cruel miscreants turned on the very people they were supposed to help.  

    What changed the common mans position came about a century after the revolution and that had a lot to do with "cotton", and the New World.

    But that's another history lesson altogether.


  2. While the first responder is essentially correct, the answer your teacher is looking for is that it served due notice to aristocracies throughout the world that the people will no longer be ignored and abused by the upper crust.  The French Revolution sent shock waves through monarchy lead governments everywhere.  England took note and for a while was extremely nervous.

  3. It brought a starving lower class the power to change their society and obsolete ruling class, something unheard of at the time but paved the way for other events such as the Russian Revolution which happening in almost identical ways.

  4. It didn't. Next question please.

  5. It spread nationalism and revolution for republic


  6. It Destroyed Monarchy From France & France Became A Republic

  7. I'll just share an overview (my answer is in paragraph two):

    In 1789, Revolution broke out in France when people rose up against poverty and injustice. The French Revolution swept away the power of the monarchy and ended traditional social order. When the revolution began, poverty was widespread, the king was unpopular, and people resented the clergy and nobility. Following the formation of the National Assembly, France was declared a republic, the king and queen were executed and, for a while, terror reigned. In 1799, Napoleon came to power, and the revolution ended.

    The end of the French Revolution changed the world in the terms that it changed how people thought. One of the biggest changes was that France no longer had a monarchy, which was really quite huge seeing as France's history dates back a long way, with much of it being Medieval Royalty. For the world though, the biggest change was accepting that there had now been two successful revolutions (the French Revolution and the American Revolution). Europe worried about even more revolutions that might spark up within their own countries. The French Revolution brought new government systems too, like democracy and socialism.

    I'd research the effects of revolution on other nations and the fall of monarchies. This will give you more detailed information.

    Hope this helps!
