| | The French Revolution was a formidable disruption of the European world: not solely because of the ensuing wars and the far-reaching changes brought by the Napoleonic era, but also through its impact on 19th century thinking. | | | The struggle was prolonged because many of the men who administered the French Revolution respected private property and wanted to honor the state's commitments; the alternative of a generalized bankruptcy was postponed as long as possible. | | | The French revolutionaries managed to finance massive deficits by issuing a paper currency, the assignat, and eventually imposing severe legal restrictions to prop up the demand for the paper currency. |
