Edmund Burke was an Irish born statesman, political theorist, and a Member of parliament of the British parliament. He had his own views and wrote extensively on the French revolution of 1790. He sought to convince the British people of the time that what the French were doing was wrong. The French revolution was a revolution that over threw the monarchy, established a republic, changed the political views of the people, and would later become Napoleons dictatorship. The revolution changed France, Europe and the world with its goals and new way of government. Edmund Burke believed that the French revolution was unjustified, that it would fail, and that tradition was important to a healthy political system.
