France was the first European country to turn into a revolutionary republic with `Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite' motto (although it was never followed in practice, but that is a different story). Supposing that Revolutionary France had chosen to export her ideas to the remainder of the continent, where else would the republican ideas resonate? What other country could the ideas work in, turning the country republic? Sure there were medieval republics, but these were basically oligarchies. Could the French republican model be replicated elsewhere, starting with a 1789 PoD?
