What were the effects of the french revolution on other countries?
It led directly to the dictator Napoleon and all his wars.


Europe was at war almost continuously for 20 years and the fighting extended to much of the rest of the world.
What were the effects of the french revolution on other countries?
It disrupted the status quo, and for conservatives that is always a scary prospect. It led monarchies across Europe to fear for their God-given right to rule and later for their very heads.





If you cound the Napoleonic years as merely a continuation of the revolution the very maps of Europe were redrawn as a result. The Holy Roman empire which had been in place a little over 800 years simply ceased to exist.





More than anything else however was the revolutionary model for governance, the idea of centralized authorities and state bureaucracies was innovative to say the least and ushered in what could easily be described as the first modern nation-state.
Reply:One effect was in Russia. When Tsar Alexander I defeated Napoleon and marched into Paris, the soldiers were exposed to French Revolutionary ideas. Several veterans formed the Union of Salvation, which eventually included active officers, that called for a constitutional monarchy and the abolition of serfdom. When Alexander's brother Constantine renounced his claim to the throne, two off-shoots groups, now called Decemberists by history, of the Union refused to pledged their loyalty to the other claimant, Alexander's younger brother and eventaul Tsar, Nicholas I and called for a constitution. The revolt failed. However, the seeds of rebellion were planted and would bear fruit in 1905 and a bitter harvest in 1917.
