Both the French Revolution and the British Civil Wars were caused due to the same reason, struggle of keeping society equal when it comes to class. However, even though they both had very similar causes and outcomes, they both made complete differences times of the modern age. The French Revolution lasted 10 years (1789 to 1799), and the three British Civil wars lasted 9 years (1642 to 1651). What do you think?
