The guillotine was much used during the French Revolution to behead the aristocracy, those in power, and anyone who opposed the 'Peoples Revolution.' The last execution to use the guillotine in France was in September 1977. The death penalty was abolished in French in 1981.
Essentially, an attempt to starve Great Britain by refusing it any trade with the rest of Europe; this was a Napoleonic rather than a revolutionary system, and it proved unworkable.

The French Revolution.
Two important reforms of the French revolution were, the abolition of the hereditary aristocracy, and the introduction of the metric system.
That was the way that the system had been set up during the Ancient Regieme.
From 1795 until 1799 (so still during the revolution) there was a directory system. This system soon grew unpopular with the French citizens and Napoleon Bonaparte took advantage of the weak position the directory was in, and committed a coup (in 17899, and with this he ended the French Revolution). He eventually crowned himself emperor and made France into an Empire.
The Charlville musket was in use from 1717 until 1840. It was .69 calibre and had a flintlock firing system.
The French Revolution affected the system of balance of power by having different people come into power in France. After the revolution there was more emphasis placed on individual interests.
The Three Estates.
The METRIC SYSTEM is one contribution of the French Revolution which remains with us to the present day.
The metric system was established in France in 1840 while Louis Philippe I was the monarch. It had been used during the French Revolution, but many still used the old units, which were reestablished by Napoleon in 1812.
