      Considering most monarchies are no more in Europe, it didn’t really fail miserably

        Do you have any grasp of history?

        It resulted in a dictatorship and then a return of the monarchy.

        It DID NOT magically remove all monarchies in Europe, that is a ridiculous ahistorical claim.

          It was the start, because even if Emperor’s went back, installed by foreign powers, they were heavily checked by other institutions, and removed again and again by the citizens of france. It ended effectively the age of absolutism and started democratic movements.

          So yes, it was definitely important for democracies in Europe, a land entranced in absolutists kingdoms

        They can’t be separated. It’s all part of the same historical process.

        And it’s lazy bullshit that prevents people from having to think or to take realistic actions.
