The French Revolution was significantly influenced by Enlightenment ideas, which emphasized individual rights, reason, and the questioning of traditional authority. Enlightenment thinkers like Rousseau and Voltaire inspired the populace to challenge the monarchy and advocate for equality and democracy. Additionally, the success of the American Revolution demonstrated that a colonial power could overthrow an oppressive regime, providing a practical example for the French revolutionaries. Together, these influences fueled the desire for political and social reform in France, ultimately leading to the revolution.
