After Napoleon abdicates in 1814, the revolution is officially over, and Louis XVIII is crowned King of France. Can you believe it? The monarchy returns!!! In light of our investigation of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, evaluate the legacy of the French Revolution. Do you believe it was a success or a failure? Your response should be atleast 150 words.

I do not believe that the French was a complete failure, I do believe that having Louis XVIII crowned after all of what happened during the French revolution was not completely understandable, and I do in some ways believe that it was a success such as when they went through the changes of the estates, successfully leading the third estate into having as much power as the second and first, under their own circumstances. Mostly the one thing that strikes me in this time period was that they fought so hard for what they believed in, for so long but yet almost thirteen years latter having Louis the XVIII crowned King of France was more like being ashamed because of all the hard work they did.
