1. As far as political thought is concerned, France accepted the influence of the modern Enlightenment and put forward the slogan of "freedom, equality and fraternity"; During the British bourgeois revolution, there was no spread of enlightenment ideas.
2. As far as the revolutionary class foundation is concerned, the French Revolution overthrew the feudal dynasty by relying on the people with the third class as the main force; The British revolution was that the parliamentary army represented by the bourgeois upstarts defeated the feudal royalists.
As far as the thoroughness of the revolution is concerned, the French Revolution first established a bourgeois republic, and then established the Napoleon Empire. Since then, the second Republic and the second empire appeared in the Vienna system period, but the big bourgeoisie still occupied the fundamental dominant position, and the feudal shackles were destroyed at the beginning of the revolution; After experiencing * * * and the country, protecting the country and the glorious revolution, Britain established a constitutional monarchy, which was the result of mutual compromise between the bourgeoisie and the feudal aristocracy, so it still retained a considerable feudal residue.
4. As far as foreign policy during and after the revolution is concerned, the British Parliament tried to maintain good relations with European countries and avoid foreign interference during the 1640- 1649 revolution. Fortunately, at that time, European countries were busy with the Thirty Years' War and could not effectively intervene in Britain. During the Republic of China after the British Revolution and Cromwell's protection of the country, the rulers pursued the policy of expanding to the sea according to Britain's geographical advantages, and tried to achieve "balance of power" in European continental affairs without seeking expansion to the mainland on the premise of ensuring that their own economic and trade interests were not infringed. This concept of foreign affairs has created Britain's "isolationism" policy of being detached from continental European affairs for 200 years and not concluding military alliances with other countries during non-war periods. This policy continued until the rise of Japan and Germany and the re-division of the world.
At the beginning of the Great Revolution, influenced by the Enlightenment, France put forward the principle of peace and sought to maintain relations with European countries. After gironde came to power, this principle of peace gradually changed into a radical policy of exporting bourgeois ideology to the outside world and supporting foreign national revolution, which was naturally interfered by foreign organizations' anti-French alliance. After jacobins and the Hot Covenant Party came to power, on the one hand, they attacked foreign hostile forces in China, on the other hand, they made it clear that they did not support foreign national revolutions, which made Russia, which was solving the Polish uprising, not take measures against France, and ensured the achievements of the French Revolution. After Napoleon came to power, after disintegrating many anti-French alliances, according to the needs of the French big bourgeoisie, he actively expanded to the European continent, opened the economic market, sought "natural borders" and adopted measures such as "continental blockade" against Britain.
It can be said that the fundamental purpose of bourgeois British foreign policy is to seek maritime hegemony and balance of power on the mainland; France, whether Louis XIV or the bourgeoisie came to power, pursued land superiority and even dominated the European continent, although the specific foreign policy changed many times.
