Boomerbuster: ONE CAN ALSO THINK OF THE CLIMAX OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT AS THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE 1776

Maybe that works even better!

Palmer thought that the climax was represented both by the triumphant French Republic of 1798, and by the Republic of Terror of 1794, together.

This makes some sense. Yet I would refer to these, analytically as an aftermath, myself.

I would have placed what I consider the end of the Enlightenment as such as the eve of the French Revolution in 1789.
