So if I'm not wrong France after the Revolution to WW2 went like this
>First Republic
>Consulat
>First Empire
>Bourbon Restoration
>July Monarchy
>Second Republic
>Second Empire
>Third Republic
and then 4th and 5th Republics but they are only the product of WW2
did the Revolution shaken France that much, or is there something else here? what the fuck happened for 19th century France to be such a shitfest?

Well yeah, the french revolution (and napoleon's successive shitting on the borders of the HRE) was one of the most important events in european history, with ideas of citizen involvement in government and the death knell for absolutist dreams.
France went through a lot in the 20th century. The Second Republic had finally stabilized French politics, but 1870 and the Paris Commune reverted it to chaos. Right after this, France won a phyrric victory in world war one that left them absolutely devastated, and right after that, they went through ww2, and right after that came Algeria.

You could say that the French Revolution only truly ended in 1871.

Revolution of goverment institutions are always nasty becouse of the lack of stable institution and organization, is very hard for a new form of goverment to mantain itself in power since everyone else wants to destroy you for being an example of an alternative goverment, just like happened with communsim, althought the technological devlopment of the time allow communism to last longer. You see, all revolutions are nasty, not just communists ones.
