Question

My thesis: In an effort to bring an end to France's monarchical rule, the French Revolution by 1815, replaced one oppressive political system with another that contradicted the ideals that it sought to achieve.

Write me 3 argumentive topic sentences that defends my thesis(also argumentive) that answers the prompt: evaluate the success of the French Revolution by 1815.

Answer 1

1. The French Revolution replaced the monarchy with the radical Reign of Terror, contradicting its ideals as the guillotine became a symbol of oppression and fear rather than a tool for justice and equality.

2. While the French Revolution aimed to establish a republic founded on the principles of freedom and equality, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the establishment of the Napoleonic Empire reinstated autocratic rule and contradicted the very democratic values the revolutionaries fought for, deviating from the revolutionary ideals.

3. The French Revolution culminated in the Congress of Vienna in 1815, leading to the restoration of a conservative monarchy across Europe and highlighted how the revolution's unintended consequences undermined its original mission and ushered in a counter-revolutionary era.
