The French Revolution’s political era ended with the 1918 armistice

Evidence

Yves Simon, La Grande Crise de la République Française, Montreal, 1941, p. 20: “The spirit of the French Revolution survived the defeat of Napoleon for more than a century…It triumphed but only to fade unnoticed on November 11, 1918. The French Revolution? Its dates must surely be set at 1789–1918.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2076
