The great exodus of Huguenots did not happen after the Great Revolution of 1789. It happened more than 100 years earlier, under Louis XIV after he revoked the Edict of Nantes that had given Huguenots freedom of religion and freedom from persecution. That happened in 1685.
Most Huguenots fled to The Netherlands, to the Dutch Cape Colony, to Switzerland and to England. Some emigrated to the then French colonies in North America.
