The French Revolution was 1789 ……THAT’S what the French governments are always afraid of! We , as a nation are pretty pathetic! We let governments ride roughshod over us !
We've had a Civil War and a Glorious Revolution but then decided the alternative was worse than a monarchy!
Perhaps some French people might be wondering if the same could be true.
I think the revolution brought about a new way of thinking in France. You had all these Romanticists who sought to encourage people to live the lives they always wanted. Also such thinking brought about really beautiful works from the likes of Victor Hugo and Chateaubriand which shaped the nation.
If storming a prison can do that,who knows what an uprising in 2024 could do?
There was also something unspeakably vile called The Reign of Terror. Revolutions tend to have a phase like that when the 'victors' struggle to find a way of bending the populace to their way of thinking and establish consensual government. Not something I'd care to experience.
The English so called 'Glorious Revolution' was just a swap at the top among the ruling elite. The general populace wasn't particularly affected, nor did it seriously affect the established system of government.
