Hegel credited the Revolution’s achievements to World Spirit, not the revolutionaries.

Evidence

In Heidelberg he gave an inaugural lecture in 1962 on `Hegel’s Critique of the French Revolution’, in which he held that Hegel had traced the Revolution to the heart of the World Spirit in order to acknowledge its achievements while at the same time denying that they were owed to the revolutionaries and to an alliance between philosophers and revolutionaries. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 591
