What were the lasting social political and cultural effects of the French Revolution?

The French Revolution of 1789 (and the following decade) made quite a number of short-term and long-term impacts upon Europe and upon the world. One short-term effect was the toppling of the French ruling dynasty, soon to be followed by the installment of the military Dictatorship (and then imperial governance) of Napoleon. Longer-term effects followed through the rising power of France: revolutionary ideas spread throughout Europe, planting seeds that would later sprout into a harvest of nationalist and vaguely democratic movements that brought about the end of the monarchic age and the maturing of European Modernity.
