Long-term impact
editHello all
I have summarised some excessive detail in this section. I have cut information already in this article (for example most of the information on the impact of the Revolution on the Church) or the article Influence of the French Revolution. I have removed unsourced content. As most of the content was about the short-term impact of the Revolution on other countries, I have changed the heading to Impact. I think there is a good argument for removing most of the remaining detail and retaining just a few general observations made by historians. One concern is that there is no way of separating the impact of the revolution of 1789-99 from the long-term impact of the Napoleonic era (which was arguably greater). As it is, the section is an invitation for people to write potted histories of every country in the world since 1789.

- One of the long term impacts is that Liberté, égalité, fraternité has the origin in the French Revolution. I suggest that this should be linked here. Zukunft (talk) 09:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

There are multiple cases in the article where the revolutionary political figure Antoine Barnave's name is mispelled as "Bernave" and action should be taken to rectify these mistakes. By using the text-search tool and entering in "Bernave" you will find these 2 errors. Sarffgadau (talk) 19:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Impact: North America The French Revolution had profound effects on the people of San Domingo, modern-day Haiti. The French Revolution served as a guideline and proof a revolution could take place to rework social balance, as well as a massive inspiration to the revolutionaries on the island. White slave owners in San Domingo were terrified of the idea of a slave revolt. This led to a splitting of the island into Patriots and Loyalists. Ultimately tensions would boil to the point of an outright rebellion which would prove effective as the world's only successful slave revolt. [1] JohnOverton1 (talk) 05:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
