Abstract
This contribution focuses on the French Revolution and the revolutions that followed in The Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy (1789–1799). It tries to show that each revolution had its own features and was not necessarily influenced by France, although it was the most important European country at the time and had a very strong army. It describes these revolutions and their vicissitudes, before noting the irony of fate marking the 1820s, when old patriots and new ones deserted their national Restoration(s) and enrolled to be part of a foreign legion sailing from Belgian ports to liberate other peoples – in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. Among them, there were a lot of Napoleon’s soldiers. Thus, what ended up as a fiasco in France after the First Empire, inspired other nations to rise up against their tyrants and some of them succeeded to get rid of those tyrants, as far away as in South America – or in Greece.
