The French Revolution proved to be the most important event in the history of the world.

(i) The ideas of liberty and democratic rights were the most important legacy of the French Revolution. These ideas became an umpiring force for the political movements in the world in the 19th and 20th centuries.

(ii) The ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity spread from France to the rest of Europe, where feudal system was finally abolished.

(iii) Colonised people reworked on the idea of freedom from bondage into their movements to Create a sovereign nation state.

(iv) The idea of Nationalism that emerged after the French Revolution started becoming mass movements all over the world. Now people began to question the absolute power.

(v) The impact of the French Revolution would be seen in India too. Tipu Sultan and Raja Rammohan Roy got deeply influenced by the ideas of the revolution. In the end, we can say that after the French Revolution people all over the world became aware of their rights.
