Solution
The French Revolution was an event of great importance in the history of the world. It introduced democratic ideals and ended the supreme rule of the kings. The nobles and the church lost their property and their lands were distributed to the peasants. Slaves in French colonies were set free. The watchwords of the French Revolution such as liberty, equality, and fraternity led to the rise of a new democratic social order in Europe. The most potent effect of the French Revolution was that it roused national feelings. The common people were prepared to die for the sake of protecting the rights and privileges they had got due to the French Revolution. It also inspired other European people to overthrow their oppressive governments.
