Summary:

Between 1789 and 1802 France was wracked by a revolution which radically changed the government, administration, military and culture of the nation as well as plunging Europe into a series of wars. France went from a largely feudal state under an absolutist monarch to a republic which executed the king and then to an empire under Napoleon Bonaparte.

Summary:

The Enlightenment didn't just affect the United States and the French. The next place inspired by all three (Enlightenment, USA, France) was probably the last place anyone would expect a revolution. Before there was Hidalgo; before there was Bolivar; there was Toussaint. For France's greatest general to be defeated by a slave from France's most valuable colony was unlikely. And, it took an unlikely hero lead this revolution.
