Help with a sentence, please

Help with a sentence, please
 
I'm not sure how I could say the following sentence:

La Revolución Francesa de 1789 generó inquietud por la posibilidad de que se extendieran los ideales revolucionarios por GB.

The French Revolution caused unease because of the possibility that revolutionary ideals spread in Britain.

This is not a translation, so any way of saying this will be appreciated.

Thanks. :)

That's fine, except you need something like a subjunctive in English: that revolutionary ideals might spread in Britain

I don't like ideals, even though that word fits the translation. I would say ideas. :)

Good options. Thanks. :)
