Professor of French history here... I love the video but have a correction. It is well known that there were many aristocrats and members of the Church who believed feudalism must end. Many willingly joined members of the third estate when they found they were locked out of their meeting hall. David's painting "The Tennis Court Oath" clearly shows members of the other estates taking part in the celebrations. Plus, they had been writing about this issues for decades. The evening of August 4th was long in coming, but anticipated by many.

Funny fact: When Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette tried to escape from France in 1791, they were capture because Jean Drouet, the postmaster at Varrenes, a village near the France-German border, recognized them when he saw the king's face printed in the coins and banknotes. He told the soldiers and the royal family was captured and sent back to Paris and beheaded.

It was 1792 because that’s when the monarchy ended but in 1793 he was executed... wrong facts! but funny facts is actually true because person recognized them by coins and dollars

[@DimitarBerberu]

Which shows that by not insisting on privacy (of the rulers, on public notes/coins/etc.), but transparency, the bad guys can be captured easier. The current system of encouraging privacy is encouraging corruption. Be open if you are clean. Honest friendship encourages transparency.

Got interested in this topic after playing Assassin's Creed... and people say video games aren't educational.

[@Tim-K.]

Teal'c Everything is educational, you learn how to do certain actions. But learning how to slaughter Frenchmen using e.g. a controller does not contribute to society and is not a skill that is useful to have apart from playing games. A big complication for video games, movies and shows usually is that their information isn’t reliable. Thus you can learn the wrong stuff, but if you check the facts later on, then it has motivated you to learn about the specific topic

[@troglodyto]

@@Tim-K. i feel assassin's creed does teach a lot though. you learn about the architecture, the way people dressed, etc. we learn a lot through our eyes, and assassin's creed is amazing in that regard

[@Tim-K.]

troglodyto I know we learn stuff better when we actually see it happen, but the important aspects of the French Revolution are most likely altered in this game and the game is probably not very focused on these important facts. Like movies, there they change facts to make it more exciting

Except the persecution of the church

[@josephrusso4828]

@@Aceshot-uu7yxThey can’t include all the details in a video that’s less than 10 min of content.

[@Aceshot-uu7yx]

@@josephrusso4828 true, but that was one of the major reasons the first revolution lost support and napoleon was able to rise. That persecution led to the catholic majority, vast majority at that, no longer being able to turn a blind eye to the atrocities and allowed the displaced church leaders to regain a foothold. Couple that with the religious tolerance napoleon instituted for social control to keep that majority happy and boom, we have the first republic down. It was a major reason for its fall and to cut it, not even mentioning it, is quite annoying. It skips over a group that suffered and how those people responded to it. You don't even have to include the revolutionaries who were executed for trying to lessen the persecution. You can just mention they were and how that led to the empire. 30 seconds to discuss one of, if not the main cause as far as the overall population could be concerned.

[@josephrusso4828]

@@Aceshot-uu7yx The reason I hesitate to go into details regarding some of the violent excesses of the French Revolution is that many people oversimplify the events of 1789-1800 by saying: ‘a bunch of terrorists guillotined countless innocents’ Essentially, people hyper-focus on the Reign of Terror and completely ignore the White Terror that came afterwards, as well as the numerous legitimate reasons that the Revolution became necessary in the first place. Sometimes, people don’t even have any ill intent, they just meme-ify a historical time period for the lulz. The problem is that this leads to a shallow understanding of history, to the point of cartoonish naivety.

[@Aceshot-uu7yx]

@Joseph Russo I can understand that, but that fear should not invalidate learning the actual history of this event. Many had good intentions, but that won't invalidate what they did and the importance of who It was done to. The fact is that even if people meme it up all they want, it's better to have the actual history said and not forgotten. Especially when one of those groups was a major, majority, reason an event collapsed. It's like telling the story of America's civil rights movement without mentioning the Nation of Islam. Even if people don't like the person, that doesn't invalidate their involvement and importance. Else, we continued the hate that started the event to begin with.

It makes no mention of the shift from the moderate phase to the radical phase (because the bourgeoise only solved their own problems no the people's problems), or the Directory which was a conservative push back but still technically a republic. HOW Napoleon rose to power because of Directory mismanagement is another critical lesson we should not overlook.

lots of inaccuracies, lots of parts of the story you didn't tell. for example: necker was dismissed for lying and publishing a wrong report of the gonverment's debt (kind of important), marie was beheaded after the king, for charges that were largely made up (her 10 year old child was forced to lie that she had sexually assaulted him). i hate when modern retellings of the story make the royal family into cartoon villains....

[@mikebluet]

EXACTLY! I mean they were teenagers with so much handle when they took the throne. There is so much dept, secrets, and scandalous stories behind the royal court at Versailles. But Marie and Louis had the mindset of teenagers. They shopped until they dropped!

[@shariffmanzur8580]

Mike Blue Yes and sadly that is why they had to be removed, plus with the whole "chosen by god" thing you can't just let royal families live so it was necesary to kill them as their power came from their blood as royals, therefore the lies were just to convince people that idealized royalty of the wrongs in it. Royals might not have been comic villains (and frankly no historic figure should be portrayed as that) but they were no better than dictators.

[@omershaik6374]

adolfo manzur they were close to dictators, basically. They were self proclamed aristocrats (meaning "part if the ruling few) it was not a bad word at the time. They did what they could to both try to calm the people and keep their power (like everypne wants to do) and that interesting hopeless struggle to do that is tragically left out to fill the narrative the western world wants. It's sad

[@mikebluet]

adolfo manzur I agree man. They wanted to stay at the top while the people of the country died and struggled to live. I do have a question as well for both of you. I have just started studying French quite recently. The impression that I get from the language is that it is very pretentious. Do you think that when they created the French language that they actually wanted to make a language that sound and looked more beautiful and elaborate than any other language? It also makes me wonder why the royal French court spoke french while the peasants didn't know how to even speak it!

[@diallog1]

One crucial detail left out--the famine! One of the most common ingredients of revolutions is poverty and hunger.

[@Edmonton-of2ec]

Marie Antoinette's reputation is actually completely false. She actually attempted to restrain the spending of the nobility during times of hardship, promoted more modest and simple dress styles, and invited children of poorer families to the palace and they played with her children, because she wanted her children to know the average person. She never said "Let them eat cake" and all the paintings of her in fancy clothing were from before the calling of the Estates-General, before the summoning of the Assembly of Notables, even before the hire or dismissal of Jacques Necker. She wasn't a bad person, put the revolution has ingrained into public perception the opposite.

Incredible how all that really happened, it sounds like a movie!

[@syrusthedemon721]

I feel like not mentioning the great night was kind off an oversight as its very influencial. The great night was the night in september where nobles sacrificed thier priviliges voluntarily in an amazing display of progression. Also history tends to demonise robespierre and while yes he was a component in the terror theres alot of evidence his role had been blown out of proportion and the work he did in the revolution shouldnt be ignored.

[@SheldonAdama17]

The French Revolution had so much potential, but unfortunately a lot of people went crazy and lost their heads.

[@НиколайРоманов-л6ю]

No, it didn't have any potential. People never deserve rights, absolute monarchy is the longest lasting system history has ever seen

[@eggyeox1792]

I think one of the biggest thing they forgot to mention was how Robespierre was one of the most influential figures at the forefront of the revolution, like he essentially got it started, he had great morals at first, he wasn’t just some guy who started the terror at the end of the revolution lmao (although he did flip a switch on his morals near the end, which got him beheaded as well rip)
