      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 didn’t even ultimately remove the monarchy in fucking France.

        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
