I started watching this French Revolution playlist because I had to learn for my exam, at this point though I am just watching because it is insanely entertaining, informative, and understandable. Kudos man

Robespierre could've just phrased it: "If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists" (exchange terrorists with monarchists/counterrevolutionaries and you get the point ;-)

Great talk! Learn alot. Frensch revolution was much more eventful than I thought. Interesting to see an example of how far you can go before reaching a breaking point. Did not know how radical changes they tried to introduce.

"The blood of Danton chokes him!" "Cowards! Is it Danton you regret? Why did you not defend him!" Besides being awesomely dramatic, I believe Robespierre's response to that dig really sums him up. Robespierre, at least before he went to crazy, god-like Roman emperor land, was ready to stick to his beliefs regardless of the consequences. You especially see this in his criticism of starting the war with Austria.

Been quite awhile - do you think you would be able to do Napoleon at some point in the near future (unless I missed a video lol)? Thanks!

Do lobster thermidor (menu item from the 1970s) and the French kiss (another menu item) take their names from the French Revolution?

Oh, I thought the lady and the swan in Thermidor is supposed to represent Leda and Zeus, based on the Greek-Roman mythology. (when Zeus descends in the form of a swan and impregnates Leda, who consequently gives birth to Helen of Troy)

10:45 "The metric system, which a lot of countries use today...." All but 3 countries use SI today.

Hi Tom, so I am studying for my test which is in 3 days but for future kids studying, you missed the War in the Vendee and the Napoleon stuff you said you were going to get to. Just a heads up!!

Please upload the remaining two phases

8:30 Funny how not only did that "revolutionary clock" not last, but modern SI is based more on the second (old fashioned 1/60th of a minute) then on the meter itself. SI defines the meter as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458th of a second.

Just about to enter the American Reign of Terror NOW.............

The United States has adopted quite a bit of the metric system, especially in manufacturing, medicine, commerce and to a lesser extent, agriculture. We have a real hybrid here.

11:27 True except for two categories of measurement for which there are no non SI units: electricity, and time. Many types of drugs (illegal and medical) are also bought and sold in the USA in SI weights.

They use the concept of decimal time today. I clock in with a decimal clock.

the original quote is "down with the tyrant" I guess

ofc it’s a Leo saying their the best month😐

Leon Trotsky warned against a Thermador; namely, a weakening of the revolution. He himself ended up with an ice axe in his head courtesy of his old comrade in arms - Stalin. The French and Russian Revolutions (that his the October phase) parallel each other. The French were a major inspiration for the Bolsheviks.

Don't know, it makes a lot more sense than having twice 12 hours with 5 times 12 minutes with 5 times 12 seconds (yes, that's how it works, base 12). Looking at it with more open eyes, the one we're using is a lot more crazy than this very logic, "metric" one.

But Robespierre and the National Convention did not want to dechristianise France. He asked the National Convention to stop the Sans-Culottes and Paris Commune from doing so. Eventually in December the National Convention declared that there will be no more dechristianisation and so after that he made the Supreme Being to replace the Festival of Reason that the Paris commune had created

Robespierre was anti religion at beginning and he wanted to replace the priests in France because 70% of the priests supported the old regime, which is the absolute monarchy… so they old priests were gu*llotined and replaced with new ones, more favorable to the republic… the thing is that the more radicals were still attacking them no matter if they supported the republic or not, so Robespierre send these radicals all to the gu*llotine because he judged that these priests were favorable to the republic because they have had replaced all the priests who were unfavorable… Robespierre even created the cult of the supreme being after the priests were replaced with priests favorable to the republic…

All these revolutions are a way to eliminate the types of humans that want to control others from the gene pool.

Thanks Tom. Robespierre was a rationalist. He wanted the state to facilitate the irradication of hunger of the poor. He wasn't anti-capitalist but he did feel responsibility to end the suffering of absolute poverty. So the State had responsibilities! His deepest commitment was to establish a society based on virtue! Make people liberated from oppression and superstition they WILL become virtuous and good. Unfortunately, the horror of The Terror really is an object lesson of brilliant ideas going hatefully wrong! Love your history and analysis 👏 👌
