Which french revolution? 1830 or 1790?
Remmember, The French abolished slavery & serfdom in their first revolution!

P.S. I think that before you can ask the question which revolution did the
most for mankind, you must ask what is good for mankind. It is very
myopic to think that the American Revolution was a precursor to the
French. The Americans fought a colonial war of independence; they did
not overthrow a monarch.

Certainly most historians would agree that the French Revolution had a more
dramatic and long-lasting effect upon the history of the world.
