removed this text: This marked the first occasion in many centuries where a major European state moved from monarchical to republican mode, and presaged a new era of republican government(s) in Europe.
and replaced it thus: This presaged a new era of republican government(s) in Europe.
the term "many centuries" is ambiguous first of all. second of all, the Dutch Republic was established in the early 17th century, less than two centuries before 1795, certainly not "many centuries." I don't know if there were any other European republics established between the establishment of the Dutch Republic and establishment of the first French republic, so i just removed the questionable line entirely.
