"Consequences of a Successful French Invasion or We teach de English Republicans to work" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1798. The artwork serves as a biting commentary on the potential aftermath of a hypothetical French invasion of Britain, reflecting the widespread fear and anxiety that permeated British society during the French Revolutionary Wars. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate engravings, uses this piece to mock the radical republicanism inspired by the French Revolution and to criticize the perceived threat of French political ideology infiltrating British culture.

The print depicts a scene of chaos and subjugation, with French soldiers overseeing the forced labor of British citizens. The caricature exaggerates the consequences of French victory, portraying the invaders as cruel taskmasters and the British populace as their hapless victims. Gillray's work is rich with symbolism and allegory, often incorporating text and visual elements to enhance the satirical message. The print not only serves as a piece of political propaganda, aiming to rally British nationalism against the French enemy, but also stands as a testament to the power of visual satire in shaping public opinion during times of conflict.

As with many of Gillray's works, "Consequences of a Successful French Invasion" is characterized by its meticulous detail and vivid imagery, making it a significant example of late 18th-century British caricature. The print remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the political tensions and cultural fears of its time, as well as the enduring legacy of James Gillray's influence on the art of satire.
