Is it possible for the revolution to ultimately fail and have the monarchy suvive in France yet still have Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette both be executed . If so who would be the most likely successor to the throne? Would it have possibly transformed the monarchy into a constitutional one (sort of meeting half way with the revolutionaries) or would it still stay as an absolute monarchy trying to crack down on the treasoners? Also how would it have failed, perhaps if some foreign power had been let in to help deal with the revolutionaries?

I don't really know much about the period so it would be interesting to see what people think. Thanks in advance.
