This episode covers the 1830 Revolution which came in the wake of the Bourbon Restoration and the rule of Charles X of France, who was a bit tyrannical. After three days of violence he abdicated and was replaced by his cousin Louis-Philippe who would have his own fair share of problems.
Book Recommendations:
A Modern History of Europe from the Renaissance to the Present by John Merriman. For a book that covers such a large span of history, this is phenomenally detailed (although not the cheapest book there is). If you'd like a broad overview of European history with a great focus on France than this book is a great one to start with.
A Concise History of France by Roger Price. Fantastic at covering France from the 1789 onwards. Just be aware that whilst it calls itself a history of France, the pre Louis XIV bits are extremely brief (or non-existent) so be aware.

So France, do you want to be a republic, a kingdom or an empire? France: One of each, please.

[@iddomargalit-friedman3897]

Two of each, actually

[@yarpen26]

Funny that France's longest continuous republican regime (Third) was thought as yet another provisional thing before reverting back to monarchy. The French never really bought that much into republicanism and even now their republic looks eeringly monarchichal.

[@Edmonton-of2ec]

*Yes

[@samrevlej9331]

@@yarpen26 Yeah... no. Since 1792, the spirit of republicanism has shaped France and made it undetachable from the idea of the Republic. Granted, the figure of the "providential man" who rises to power to take charge and restore order is still strong, but historical characters like Napoleon Bonaparte or Charles de Gaulle were seen as the Republic's perpetuator - at least at first. After the 1880s, most of the French population accepted the Republic and moved past monarchism, even with some members of the nationalist far right. As for the current Fifth Republic, its institutions do facilitate the individual power of the president and the executive branch, but that was due both to the immense instability of the Fourth Republic, which saw an average of two governments per year, and to the personality of its founder, De Gaulle, who was a former monarchist and had a very personal and authoritative way of governance. Due to De Gaulle's popularity as leader of Free France during the war, and the stability this new regime brought in 1958 after an attempted coup by generals in Algeria, the population accepted it. However, ever since the events of May 1968 and De Gaulle's resignation a year later, not to mention the economic crisis in the 1970s and 1980s, the form of the Republic and its institutions have been the subject of criticism, mainly from the radical and far left who consider it too vertical and non-democratic. Polls show the majority of the population isn't all that attached to this Republic. So I really don't see how you can ay that the French aren't republican. They're just quite demanding toward their government.

@@ritaDas-xl4kz Even if Napoleon III failed the mexican war and the Franco-prussian war (which was sort of arranged by the republicans to regain power in france but whatever), he also massively industrialised and urbanised France, made the Paris we know today, and created the "Roman National" to unite the french. He was also supported by (for real) the majority of the population, although this majority decreased over time. He still had the support of basically half the french populationnear the end of his reign. So, in the end, it was not so bad, he made France fertile for a nice republic. And then 1940 lol.

Fun fact : the revolution kickstarted the French occupation of Algeria. You see, Charles X had sent an expeditionnary corps to put down the Bey of Algiers, wich was something of a semi-independant pirate state at the time. The whole thing, based on a flimsy pretext, was mostly a symbolic show of force. However, the revolution happened during the taking of the city, and the general didn't really know what to do. This was supposed to be a hit and run, but here he was with a giant army in a foreign land while the government he served had been toppled. He refused to swear alliegeance to the new regime, and began to take over neighbouring cities to organize his troops for an eventual confrontation. It never came, as he was dismissed of his commandment and another general was simply sent to Algiers in order to take the army in charge. Clauzel, the new guy, then turned the expedition in a occupation force and proceeded to attack territories southward, both as a mean to get some easy victories in the name of the new king, and as a way of keeping troops with dubious loyalties away from France. And thus began 130 years of very relative fun.

The Bourbons motto should be "We never learn our lesson."

[@Dave_Sisson]

The Bourbons were (and still are) fairly liberal kings of Spain.

[@marvelfannumber1]

@Marcus Drake *Charles X's motto should be "I didn't learn anything". Contrary to the popular phrase, the Bourbons did actually learn from the revolution. Louis XVIII was actually a fairly moderate and reasonable monarch, who allowed France to have a constitution (well a chart, but in practice it was pretty much the same thing) and generally had a pretty hands-off approach to politics. It's just too bad Charles X was a complete fool who didn't learn shit from the Revolution (probably because he packed up and left France even before people started losing their heads, during the more moderate part of the French Revolution).

[@marvelfannumber1]

@@powderedwiglouis1238 The real problem with Charles was that, like I mentioned, he was not present during the events of 1790-1792 like his brothers were. As a result he learned nothing from how the Revolution transpired and was against even the slightest bit of liberal reform. Stubbornly wanting to maintain absolutism in a France that would never accept a return to the Ancien Regime. Louis XVIII supposedly spent the last of his days hoping he would outlive Charles because he knew he would destroy the entire political system he had waited and worked for so long to create. I imagine he must have been quite depressed the day he finally croaked, knowing that he would die before Charles. Literally the only credit I can give Charles X is that he knew when he was beaten. In 1830 he could theoretically have raised an army and tried to retake Paris, he still had support from much of the rural population. But luckily, he probably didn't want to be known for butchering his own people and left for Austria.

[@Knight860]

This Royal Standard was restored, with the same design and use during the Restoration. The State Flag of the Kingdom of France before the Revolution on the other hand was a pure white flag, which once again became the state flag in 1815.

I think this and the 1832 Great Reform Act in the UK are two examples of how the so-called Metternich System and 'Pre-March' Europe were far from frozen in political strife. People never gave up on what the French Revolution had promised, indeed in Spain having lost the Civil War kicked off by the French Occupation, the Liberals ended up becoming a dominant force in Spanish politics from about 1830 to 1874. In France 1830 and 1848 stopped because the Bourbons tried to tamp down on constitutional monarchy and the franchise. Revolution was just about averted in the UK because preemptory repression and key concessions were given at the same time to stop a social explosion.

*cough* Les Miserables, one of the few reasons its studied was because Hugo was in Paris for pretty much the entire thing and couldn't help but guilt trip the nobility like he did for Notre-Dame de Pairs. If he wasn't there it would've been a historical footnote, because really a minor insurrection in Paris? Never heard of that happening. The book/play/musical/movie is ostensibly about the June Rebellion of 1832 (they didn't even go 2 whole years), but in true Hugo fashion, he doesn't shut the fuck up about the July Rebellion. Some people say its glossed over, those people are wrong (or didn't read the book), just Hugo sucks at getting the references right. Also Valjean /is basically/ Victor Hugo, a bunch of things Hugo did and saw are what Valjean does in the book, including saving a prostitute and a man being arrested over stealing a loaf of bread. Hugo didn't do any sword fighting to save orphaned peasant children though.

Interestingly, the mainline Bourbons and Orléans families both live on as Louis XX and Jean d'Orléans, Count of Paris. Louis XX is a fairly unappreciated argentinian banker who has openly stated that he has zero interests in politics and doesn't want to rule France, but still holds his claim for some reason I can't quite fathom. He seems rather aloof to french life and thinks of the monarchy as some british-style decorum rather than a political force. Jean d'Orléans inherited the claim from his father Henri d'Orléans who died at 85 some months ago only. He has open political views (conservative ones) and holds his claim and participates in the political life regularly. Which, to be honest, is the proper way of offering a monarchy to the french. The french have little to no interest in the return of the monarchy, but they certainly will not seek one for the pomp of it. Unless they see a reasonable argument to the benefits of an unmovable leader and a hereditary claim to France, they probably will not do a thing for any kings claimants. Which leads me to see the mainline Bourbons as idealists of some sort of untouchable upper monarchy which does not dirty its name in politician politics, and the Orléans as more in touch with the french people and the political reality. Idealists and realists. The culture of both these families seems to have been frozen in time since the 19th century. I suppose that's what makes a family of Kings, they don't flip flop.

Fun context: November 1830 - uprising in Poland and Lithuania. In 1831 cholera pandemics spreads from these lands to Europe (general Karl von Clausewitz dies from it establishing a sanitary cordon in Prussia that had to prevent fleeing rebels who lost the uprising, Russian commander has died from cholera, too). Somehow it reminds events that are currently going on around the world. In May 1830 in Sweden has been a very first non-British yacht club named KSSS (another Royal...) established. :)

This video was as big a surprise as the 1830 Revolution was to Charles X.

Inventing the Bourbon biscuit (chocolate with chocolate creme filling) wasn't enough to save them.
