The main consequence of the French Revolution for the monarchy in France was the end of absolute monarchy and the establishment of a republic. Beginning in 1789, the revolution sought to address social inequality and overthrow the monarchy led by King Louis XVI. As revolutionary fervor grew, the monarchy lost power, culminating in Louis XVI's execution in 1793. The revolution dismantled the feudal system and introduced revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. While the monarchy was temporarily restored, the revolution set the stage for ongoing political turbulence, ultimately leading to the establishment of new governments and the rise of figures like Napoleon Bonaparte.
