WI: The French Revolution failed

Except that wasn't the goal.The goal of the French Revolution was to create a constitutional monarch governed by liberty and the rule of law.

And exactly that happened after 1814. France became a constitutional monarchy under Louis XVIII, with a constitution similar to the British political system. Charles X wanted to restore absolute monarchy, but he was overthrown and replaced by Louis-Philippe.

That was a long time after the revolution.When the Revolution was finished,we ended up with Napoleon.
