The French Revolution effectively ended the royal monarchies that dominated France for centuries. Sadly this was done in a brutal and bloodthirsty manner. Many innocent people were executed. One clear negative, in terms of "democracy" was the vacuum filled by Napoleon. He was not a "royal" leader, however, dissent was not one of his priorities. He ruled as an emperor and as France's general in chief. He is one one the most controversial figures in the 19th century.
