French Revolution
A political and social upheaval beginning in 1789 that dismantled France’s absolute monarchy and estate-based order. It profoundly influenced the spread of republicanism, citizenship, and popular sovereignty.
The green in the Italian flag came from a newspaper error. During the French Revolution, an Italian paper reported the French tricolors blue as green. Revolutionaries adopted it, and by the time the mistake was found, green had gained its own meaning.
