Would it be historically accurate to say that the French Revolution

As accurate as saying American revolution ended in 1865.

There is no true ending. Events aren't objective things so their start and end dates are always tentative

it ends with the 5 republic

alos, there are liberal frenchmen who want a 6 republic claiming that this time, they will get the republic right

no it would not be accurate, but go ahead and say why youd think that
id probably get my exam ended right there after saying such a thing but who knows, maybe a more "open minden" prof could let me reveal how stupid i am

It is a valid statement although the real impactful part of the revolution ended with Napoleon, after him the change was mostly contained within the country

>>2616058
Not a valid comparison, the american revolution was hardly a revolution and reassembled a colonial revolt more than anything else

Yes and no. Yes, because the destruction of the Commune ended once and for all the French Revolutionary tradition of Paris from being a force for political change. In 1792 (establishment of a republic), 1816 (100 days and Napoleon mobilizing Parisian national guard), 1830 (national guard overthrowing the Bourbons), 1848 (national guard and workers giving Louis-Philippe such a spook that he fled when they started to rebel), late 1860s (extensive strike action and agitation that led Napoleon III to start an accelerated liberalization of his government), and 1870/71 (Paris' sole resistance to Prussia after Napoleon III had been defeated, and then the establishment of the Paris Commune against the quasi-royalist republican government in Versailles), the Parisian working class, mostly consisting of highly skilled artisans, had a hand in overthrowing all governments. Only after the Thiers government in Versailles crushed and massacred Communards, dismantled Paris as an autonomous city government (a mayor being directly pointed by the central government from then on), dismantled the national guard (a wellarmed hotbed of radical republicanism and patriotism) and destroyed the landmarks of the French revolution (bastille and other things, I think), did true popular activism and power that checked central government come to an end. From then on, Paris ceased to be a political force and the Third Republic did everything in its power to paper over this legacy. Even if the new government spouted off slogans from the French Revolution, it was all Rhetorical republicanism that had little to no substance of French revolutionary radicalism. The Third Republic, and those that followed for that matter, were bourgeois oligarchic republics which ruled in the name of the people and was little beholden to them.
