I think you misread parent. You seem to refer to the excesses of the French revolution, not of the French monarchy. It&#x27;s true that France would not know the same kind of mass executions all over the country again, but it would exert occasionally a ferocious repression during its wars (eg, in Spain during the Napoleonic Wars) or in its colonies (eg, the massacres in French Algeria just after the end of WWII).
