What kind of effects did the French Revolution produce?

What really happened once the Revolution was over? How was the world changed?

Well that is a question that you could write a whole thesis about. Thus i will just answer by giving a short overview of some main events related thereto. However i consider myself able to answer follow up questions if desired.

​

  • The end of the Holy Roman Empire
  • The creation of middle sized states in Germany and the end of all smaller or clerical states in Germany
  • Prussia becoming more of a dominant power in Germany (due to territorial changes)
  • The Treaty of Vienna (1814-1815)
  • The Restauration of old powers in Europe
  • Forcing European countries to enact reforms (civil and militaric)
  • The spread of democratic ideas throughout Europe (much more impact than the American revolution)
  • The spread of national ideas throughout Europe (espeacilly Germany and Italy)
  • A change in military tactics and the abolishment of city walls (at least in greater cities)
  • Direct or indirect helping to create constitutions in many European countries
  • Establishment of Land Registry in occupied territories
  • End of the First French colonial empire (notably: Lousiana purchase)
  • End of Spain beeing a dominant colonial power
  • Brazil´s independence

I might be missing out some smaller points, but these should be the main important ones.
