On its own, 大革命 in Chinese history books usually means the revolution of 1924–1927, so the French one keeps 法国. The shorter 法国革命 is also used.
culture
It began with the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, the date France still marks as its national holiday. Dickens set 《双城记》 (A Tale of Two Cities) in these years.
