What if the Paris Commune is successful in its goal and overthrows the French Government and puts a Socialist state up. Now I have a theory on how this would go about that can be tweaked for realism, Lets say that the Paris Commune takes over Paris and supports others to pop up across France and its African possessions (they had those then right?). The Army puts up a good fight but eventually the sheer numbers forces the French Government to flee to Britain, a Socialist government is put in its place.

Now how would this affect the world?
