Selected claim, opposing its parent
Creating a republican state may agitate other nations and bring war to France.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1
Great Britain views the French Revolution with
distaste
and may want to move against the nation if its new political values threaten the British monarchy.
Pro claim 2
The
Declaration of Pillnitz
indicates that Prussia strongly opposes the French Revolution. This may bring war to France.
Con claim 1
Because France supported the American Revolution, the
anti-federalists
in the newly formed United States of America may return the favor. This may discourage other nations, particularly
Great Britain
, from bringing war to France.
Con claim 2
Many European states
risked war
in 1790 and may not want to come close to such an outcome again.
