/kloc-what trend has the British-French-American revolution represented in the development of world history since the 0/7th century?
The British-French-American Revolution, understood from the Marxist historical view, is actually the process of liberating productive forces. The old feudal rule hindered the development of British capitalist economy, so Britain began a tortuous but mighty bourgeois revolution and established a constitutional monarchy, which cleared the way for the development of capitalism. The American War of Independence was not only a national liberation movement, but also a bourgeois war against British feudal colonial rule, because British colonial rule hindered the development of capitalism in North America. So did the French Revolution. The historical development trend of Britain, France and the United States since the seventeenth century can be understood from two aspects, on the one hand, productivity, on the other hand, spiritual liberation.

Feudal rule seriously hindered the development of productive forces and was doomed to perish.

The concept of freedom and equality embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the general trend.

So you can see from the seventeenth century until World War I and World War II. The Napoleonic Wars hit and shook the feudal rule in all parts of Europe, and European countries later became bourgeois dictatorship, not feudal autocracy. After World War I, the imperial power of various countries collapsed. After World War II, except for a few countries, most countries are * * * and the system.

Of course, after the proletariat entered the stage as an independent force after World War II, the concept of "democracy" was publicized more thoroughly.
