There were multiple revolutions that established new governmental eras in France, beginning with THE French revolution in the 18th century. They are up to the fifth today. France has a strong legacy of revolts, which is why they are still famous for strikes.

Answer 2

There were in fact. Usually when one says the French Revolution they're referring to the first in 1789, but in the 19th century the monarchy was overthrow again as France swayed from a republic to a monarchy.

Answer 3

There have been so many different governments there.

There was the monarchy, then the Committee of Public Safety, then Napoleon, then the new monarchy, then Napoleon again, then the monarchy again, then they replaced that king with another, then there was a Republic... and then on from there.

Some of those are out of order, but I think we're on the 5th French Republic right now.
