Then France goes bankrupt and, as a result, the monarchy is abolished, given over to an Emperor, unabolished, abolished again, unabolished, abolished, given to the former Emperor's idiot nephew, and finally finding an actual democracy between the couch cushions.

19th century France was a trip, and intervening in the American Revolution sorta set it all off.

Abolished is one way to put it... I suspect Louis had stronger words when it was his turn to meet Madame Guillotine.
