The primary outcome of the French Revolution was the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic in France. Beginning in 1789, the revolution aimed to challenge the inequalities and injustices of the ancien régime characterized by feudal privileges and absolute monarchy. Key milestones included the declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which emphasized individual rights and the principle of popular sovereignty. The revolution also led to significant social and political changes, including the rise of radical groups, the Reign of Terror, and ultimately, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, who later established a new form of governance.
