The French Revolution was a wakeup call to European monarchs who were shocked and appalled at what had happened in France. They feared this might encourage people in their countries to do the same. As a result, efforts were made to incorporate Enlightenment ideals in many countries.
The stated reason was to preserve and protect the French Revolution from being overthrown by Royalists and moderates.
The Royalists caused a concern as potential counter revolutionaries and they had many supporters throughout Europe, not the least of which were European Monarchs who feared further popular revolutions.
No, France wasn't better off because of the Revolution. After the revolution the country was one huge chaos and nobody knew who or how the country should be governed. The French people had blamed all their problems on their Monarchs and killed them, but never realized that it wasn't their fault and so when the Revolution was over, nothing was gained and their situation was actually worse then ever. France was bankrupt and no Monarch in Europe wanted to have anything to do with France anymore because of their bloody war against the monarchy. Eventually it was Napoleon Bonaparte who grabbed the reigning power and made France an Empire. Since the French weren't too happy with him in the end either, the count of Provence (the brother of Louis XVI whom the French had killed), made himself King and so France was yet again a monarchy.
Originally, prior to the French Revolution, the French monarchs such as Louis XVI lived in the palace of Versailles.
No. The French Revolution was not an effect of the industrial revolution. The French revolution occurred due to the anger of the masses against the despotic rule of the monarchs in France.

At the outbreak of the French Revolution, the reigning monarchs were King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. The King was decapitated by guillotine on January 21, 1793, and the Queen was decapitated by guillotine on October 16, 1793.
It was different because there was no bloodshed involved; the monarchs fled and were replaced without anyone getting killed.
