Question

Following the era of the French Revolution (1789-1799), France A) rid itself of monarchy forever. B) avoided any type of social conflict. C) became vulnerable and was conquered by the British Empire. D) continued to experience class conflict and was ruled by a monarch.

Answer 1

Answer: D continued to experience class conflict and was ruled by a monarch

Explanation:

Following the French Revolution, France continued to experience class conflict and was ruled by a monarch. Even though the Third Estate had risen in protest against its treatment by the First and Second Estates, the bloody revolution resulted in what could be described as class warfare. And even though Louis XVI was executed, Napoleon soon became another type of dictator in the early 1800s, even though the country was technically a Republic.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

After the French Revolution era, the Directory was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte on 9 November 1799. Following this, Napoleon Bonaparte became an absolute ruler of France and in 1804 he was granted the title of Emperor of the French. Under his government, France was involved in several wars -known as the Napoleonic wars- against European powers where he wanted to export the revolution and extend his dominion.

Within France class struggles continued, as the government started persecuting the Monarchists, who wanted to re-establish the old monarchy and the Republicans who were against Napoleon and wanted to re-establish the Republic. Class conflicts continued in France for many decades after Napoleon was overthrown in 1815.
