The French Revolution of 1789 was brought on by the financial collapse of the French government. It was a good thing to depose Louis XVI, but things didn’t get better – they got much, much worse with Robespierre and then Napoleon.

Wasn't Napoleon much better than Robespierre? And frankly even the Louis?

I'm not sure I agree that it was good to depose Louis XVI; if you must have a government, monarchy may actually be preferable (see Hans-Hermann Hoppe, "Democracy: The God that Failed," and "From Aristocracy to Monarchy to Democracy."

Perhaps Napoleon is being called worse than Louis for the bloodshed and devastation he unleashed on Europe.
