It just wasnât a socialist revolution. The bourgeoisie won.
It also didnât happen just like that, it took 10 years - Wikipedia calls it âa period of political and societal changeâ. I think itâs fair to say it wasnât completely unplanned.

It led directly to Napoleon conquering Europe and crowning himself Emperor of FranceâŠ

Yeah, so?
Once again: you have to understand how bad the Ancien régime was.

No, my point was the French revolution wasnât exactly a success because it was followed by two other revolutions in 1830 and 1848 that also aimed at overthrowing the monarchy.
