France was not the first republic in Europe. The first formal republic in Europe was the Roman Republic, which began around 509 BC and merged into Imperial rule around the first century BC.

The first modern republic in Europe was actually established in 1642 in England and Wales with the execution of Charles I, and lasted until 1685 when Charles II was invited back to rule.

France is the first Republic that remains a republic to this day, although with several autocratic interruptions over the years since it was first established as a republic after the French revolution of 1789.
