What is the world-wide historical significance of the Great French Revolution?

The historical significance of the French Revolution is difficult to overestimate. If Athens gave us an approximate model of democracy, then the French Republic established its foundations in Europe, showing many countries and peoples an example of the struggle against the monarchy.
