3. The French Revolution eventually led to a military dictatorship
Explanation:
One of the watershed events of the world’s history, the French Revolution, revolutionized France during 1789 to 1790s.
Initially spread as a widespread upheaval against the French monarchy under King Louis XVI, with the rise of the Third Estate, the revolution gained strength, led to the declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen; however, later turned radical and ended in the reign of terror.
With the execution of Robespierre, the President of the National Convention, the Reign of Terror came to end.
This again led to a lot of frustration among people which made the young and determined Army General Napoleon Bonaparte stage the coup d’etat which was the military coup that overthrew the Directory.
Napoleon with his dictatorial powers became the first consul of France and then in 1804 became the French emperor and brought France under his sole military dictatorship rule
