The "[[Coup of 18 Brumaire]]" or "Brumaire" was the [[coup d'état]] of [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] on 18 Brumaire An VIII (9 November 1799), which many historians consider to be the end of the French Revolution. [[Karl Marx]]'s 1852 essay ''[[The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte]]'' compares [[1851 French coup d'état|the coup d'état of 1851]] of [[Louis Napoléon]] unfavorably to his uncle's earlier coup, with the statement "History repeats ... first as tragedy, then as farce".

[[Émile Zola]]'s novel ''[[Germinal (novel)|Germinal]]'' takes its name from the calendar's month of Germinal.
