8. Based on your study of the French Revolution and your current observations of the situation in Egypt, what do you think are possible outcomes? How are the possible outcomes in Egypt alike or different with outcomes in France -- both in the short and long term.

The outcomes of the Egyptian Revolution will most likely end up being a lot better than the French Revolutions.  The whole revolution in Egypt has remained very peaceful for the most part, unlike how the French Revolution was violent.  The Egyptian military also agrees with many of the things the people are saying.  They are willing to start reforming the government towards a democracy.  Right now it does not look like Egypt will be heading in the direction of the French Revolution where there was a major power struggle after and the Terror occurred.  There is always the chance that things could go wrong in Egypt and violence could occur like what happened after the French Revolution, but that is highly unlikely.

  1. Give some specifics. Especially on the French side of the historical equation.
