Marx treated France as the paradigm case of bourgeois revolution and class conflict.

Evidence

Unlike the majority of German political theorists of his age, notably the liberals, Marx regarded England rather than France as the exception from the general European rule. France was the ‘classical’ case: just as in medieval times it had been the centre of feudalism, so now its national life provided the clearest possible view of the class conflicts which were splitting society apart, even though economically Britain was further advanced along the same road. But France was also the ‘model’ in that its political institutions had been refashioned by the greatest and most successful of ‘bourgeois revolutions.’ — Cedric J.
