Contributing to the social unrest and financial ruin in France were the wars waged by Louis XIV. The special privileges granted to the nobility and other favored groups were one of the causes of the French Revolution of 1789-1794. The French republican form of government followed the example of the American Colonies, but in the next century reverted to a form of monarchy on four occasions. The First Republic became the First Empire under Napoleon I in 1804. However the civil registration system begun in 1792 was eventually to spread throughout the world as a model of organization for governments. Following the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, the Third Republic was established and lasted until 1940. | Contributing to the social unrest and financial ruin in France were the wars waged by Louis XIV.
