Assignment: “Historians have long grappled with the significance of the French Revolution. Some have argued that it ushered in a new era of politics. Others have promoted the view that it epitomized the “bourgeois revolution” of which Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels have spoken. Still others, noting the growth in state power that took place from 1789 to 1815, believe that it was not a break at all from pre-1789 state and society. Ultimately, how would you evaluate the French Revolution? What was its true significance? Was it a break from the past? In your answer, be certain to provide detailed examples in order to bolster your points and to examine ALL phases of the Revolution (the “moderate” and “radical” phases, as well as Napoleon’s reign).”
