9 nov 1799 anni - French Revolution ends

Descrizione:

Following the French Revolution, when the nation’s lower classes overthrew the longstanding monarchy, the country established its First Republic in 1792. The new Republic was shortly afterwards overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799, whose imperial government would fall in 1815. France continued to shift back and forth between republican and imperial governments until the establishment of the Third French Republic, which would stand until 1940. After a variety of switches France eventually stands today as a republic though some small states consider themselves constitutional republics and unitary states.
