'This is a good idea' - French people

grug meet smart man named ropes-pierre
ropes-pierre tell grug that chieftain bad
grug smash chieftain now

you clearly don't know more about the french revolution that you were taught at school so why make this thread? downvoted

Fair assessment of the Revolution but not of the Wars

dumb fuck you don't know shit

Downvoted

Not even that. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen, shows a complete lack of understanding of the revolution.

'Why don't we just execute the girl our king is banging because he wants to bang another girl now? Also let's start our own heretical church to do so'
'This is a good idea' - English people wanting to please their Norman nobility/overlords

That was a good idea though

and somehow these people are considered less dangerous than germans

The greatest idea.

'We're doing that right now' - the Muslims

God I hate Anglos

I know it was orchestrated by the international Freemasonry and only succeded in France because they got caught in the Holy Roman Empire

...

Seems logical, the french were ahead of their time valuing merit rather than a king with 0 accomplishments just because he happened to be born to the royal family

how nice of them

that's what they want you to believe

yeah whatever
it's a million times better than it was before

>last execution by guillotine 1977
>women not allowed to vote until 1945
wtf i love france now

literally the same fucking shit.
The only difference is that aristocracy doesn't have fancy titles now.

look at this pleb

Not even that. To those idiots who think the entire revolution was about the king: doesn't it strike you as odd that the Bastille was stormed in the summer of 1789, yet the king wasn't decapitated until the end of 1792? That's a gap of 3.5 years, making it the most incompetent witchhunt in human history. Especially given the fact that the king was trapped in Paris for most of that time.

Macron's statement that the French originally never wanted to get rid of their king was right: after the 1776-1783 intervention in the US war of Independence the king was more popular than ever before, and the storming of the Bastille did little to harm his popularity. The Assemblée Constituante only wanted a constitution which declared all three estates (nobility, clergy, commoners) equal. They wanted to legally abolish the nobility but still maintain a king whose power was drawn from popular sovereignity (popular monarchy). The thing is that Louis XVI shat the bed. He also wasn't just dragged out to the streets and killed like the Romanovs, he was actually given a trial with a defense lawyer. The problem was that the evidence (which is preserved to this day in the armoire de fer) overwhelmingly proved him guilty of treason. He was found unanimously guilty (though some dessenters like Paine, who was a French citizen at the time, prefered exile to America over death for the king).

This is also why the meme of Napoleon betraying the revolution is just a meme: Napoleon is precisely what the people expected from Louis XVI in the first place: a popularly confirmed monarch who reigned liberally, made the estates equal before the law and gave citizens (who weren't everyone in France except for a brief period under Robespierre) the right to vote.

Interesting thing: sufragettes were active in Britain during WW1 but not during France. Can you guess why? You should be able to solve this riddle.
