In more than 300 years, France has had emperors for only 30ish years at most. Get your facts straight. It was a success insofar as it helped establish long-lasting republics. It wouldn’t have happened without that initial spark.

France sees it as a success, and teaches it as such in its schools. And they’re better placed than a Wikipedia warrior to decide.

I don’t see what nazis have to do with 17-19th century France. You’re confused.
