The French Revolution was succesful. What the king & nobles did before that was much, much worse.

It just wasn't a socialist revolution. The bourgeoisie won.

It also didn't happen just like that, it took 10 years - Wikipedia calls it "a period of political and societal change". I think it's fair to say it wasn't completely unplanned.

    It led directly to Napoleon conquering Europe and crowning himself Emperor of France...

    Yeah, so?

    If you're saying "not good enough", I repeat: much better than the Ancien régime was.
