The French monarchy was overthrown in 1789. Mobs of people in Paris, who were hungry and angry with the policies of King Louis XVI stormed the Bastille, a prison and released prisoners. He and his wife were arrested by French revolutionaries.

Was the French Revolution or American Revolution more of an actual revolution in the traditional sense of the world?

I suppose the difference was that the French revolution overthrew its own monarchy whereas the US revolution overthrew a 'foreign' government. Yes, I refer to us, the British ! You owe us oodles in back taxes ! lol (And for anyone who hasn't noticed I am being flippant. Please don't take offence.) So the French instance was internal as opposed to the removal of an exterior monarchy & government.
