The French Revolution resulted in the abolition of the monarchy, profoundly altering the political landscape of France. In 1789, the revolution led to the establishment of the National Assembly, which aimed to limit the powers of King Louis XVI. Following a series of radical changes, including the Reign of Terror, the monarchy was formally abolished in 1792, and Louis XVI was executed in 1793. The revolution paved the way for the rise of radical political ideas and ultimately led to the establishment of the French Republic. However, the resulting political turmoil allowed for the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, who restored a form of monarchy.
