[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7740196, member: 6925649"] And what exactly did the French Revolution accomplish? Instead of having a French King, they get a French Emperor that wants to conquer Europe and Russia! Do you know how many people died in the French Revolution and in Napoleon's war? "The total death toll for the French Revolution is over 1,000,000. This total includes all those killed in action during the Napoleonic Wars. Napoleonic wars took a lot of more life. As an example in Aspern Napoleon lost 20 000 and Austrians 23 000. These are all victims of same cause." The total population of the 13 original colonies was just 3 million. "Motivation was a major asset. The Patriots wanted to win; over 200,000 fought in the war; 25,000 died. The British expected the Loyalists to do much of the fighting, but they did much less than expected." Both from Wikipedia. You know what France had after 1,000,000 of its citizens fought and died during the French Revolution? A King! Without the United States as an example, I don't think the French would have attempted to establish a republic with no expectation of success. With the example of American to look to, they had hope that they might succeed, but why should a French Peasant sacrifice his life when he could just play it safe the way generations of peasants before him did and stay alive? After the American revolution, French Peasants were more likely to storm the Bastille, but without it, history going back to the Dark Ages would just continue has it has been going. [/QUOTE]
