The late 18th century and early 19th century was a time of great social, economic, and political change in Europe. The French Revolution (1789-1799) overturned the old order of monarchical rule and established a new republic based on the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity. This event had a profound impact on the rest of Europe, where it inspired similar movements for change. In 1791, the monarchy in Poland was abolished and replaced with a more democratic system. In 1792, war broke out between France and several other European powers who were opposed to its revolutionary ideals. This conflict, known as the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), resulted in Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power and his eventual defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. During this time period, there was also a growing movement for reform in Britain. This led to major changes such as the abolition of slavery in 1833 and the enactment of laws that granted greater political rights to women and working-class men.
