Public Reaction:
The French Revolution quickly transformed from a national issue to a concern for the entire European continent. The revolutionary principles proclaimed by the French were universal in their application and posed a threat to the existing order in every European nation. The French Revolutionaries were not content with merely implementing their ideas within France; they were eager to spread these principles to other countries, becoming increasingly propagandist. This fear of the spread of revolutionary ideas united the powers of Europe against France.
Beyond the common threat posed by the French attempts to spread their doctrines, many states had specific grievances against the aggressive actions of the revolutionists.
