Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
On 21 September 1792, France declared itself a Republic, and Convention abolished the monarchy. The transition to Republic started during the summer of 1792 when the Jacobins planned an insurrection of a large number of Parisians. They were angry due to the shortage of food, which resulted in attacking the King on the morning of 10 August. Later, the Assembly imprisoned the King and held elections for all men above 21, regardless of social status. By 21 September, France declared a Republic. Consequently, King Louis XVI was sentenced to death by a court on the charge of corruption and executed publicly on 21 January 1793, marking the end of monarchy in France. Hence the correct statement would be France declared itself as a Republic on 21st November 1792.
