Abstract
Some events remain in the history of mankind forever, the French Revolution (1789-1815) is definitely one of these. Indeed, a few upheavals, such as this one, triggered so many thoughts, comments and passionate reactions all over the world. Although a lot of scholars tried to understand and qualify this period, many interpretations actually remain. This stands for the difficulty to understand the real impact of such an astonishing event. In reality, these difficulties are deeply rooted in two specific characteristics of the French Revolution- the question of its own intensity, and therefore the question of its real legacy, and, as to what extent had the French Revolution a strong and global influence over the nineteenth century in France ?
