An outcome of which revolution(s) resulted in conflict and a temporary return to absolute rule?

It could the turbulent events that led to the French Revolution where the people overthrew the monarchy and created a republic where people ruled.  Later the Revolution became more extreme and this led to the Reign of Terror where anyone who was suspected of being against the Revolution was put to death. When its leader Robespierre was executed, a new government called the Directory was set up it was later replaced when Napoleon came to power.  He later became emperor and fought with other European countries until he was defeated and sent to exile in St. Helena.  The monarchy was restored briefly and then France became a democracy again.
