What were the lasting social political and cultural effects of the French Revolution?

The French Revolution of 1789 (and the following decade) made quite a number of short-term and long-term impacts upon Europe and upon the world. One short-term effect was the toppling of the French ruling dynasty, soon to be followed by the installment of the military dictatorship (and then imperial governance) of Napoleon. Longer-term effects followed through the rising power of France: revolutionary ideas spread throughout Europe, planting seeds that would later sprout into a harvest of nationalist and vaguely democratic movements that brought about the end of the monarchic age and the maturing of European Modernity.

When did the bad harvests in France start during the french revolution?

1787 was not a bad harvest, in fact; but the autumn was very wet, which delayed sowing; the Spring of 1788 was hot, which dried the young shoots, and in July there was a horrific hailstorm over a large area of the country, which completely destroyed cereals and grapes. After that the winter of 1788-9 was exceptionally hard.


How did Napoleon Bonaparte hurt the French Revolution?

I'm a Napoleon supporter so I have more good to say about him than bad ha. However, Napoleon in many ways went against the ideals of the Revolution. Firstly, the French Revolution fought for democracy but Napoleon was a dictator. Secondly, one other ideal of the French Revolution is to have checks and balances within the government but Napoleon made almost all the political decisions on his own. Overall, Napoleon's style of government was closer to absolutism which was a big no-no of the French Revolution.
