The Coming of Terror in the French Revolution

- In 1793, the French Revolution - which had started as a fight for human rights and justice - descended into a nightmare. Our local historian, Dr. John Foster, discusses how a fight for Enlightenment and democracy became a civil war in which former friends and allies turned on each other with terrifying consequences.

Dr. Foster is one of my favorite lectures to learn from! He is so relatable, his knowledge is incredible yet not intimidating. If I ever have the chance I'd love to buy him some cold ones & just appreciate his brilliance!
Scott Gee I agree. He is a highly knowledgeable generalist. He’s become an informative and interesting lecturer.
Yeah, "sort of".
If I was Dr Foster & read that comment I’d be uncomfortable in your company.
44:07 is probably the greatest unintentional pun I've heard. Love this lecture.
John has the Best Talks...I think I have seen all of his Online Stuff and some of the lectures I have watched several times...Keep them coming John...!!!
Great lecture! Very informative!
Excellent lecture
Wonderful lecture, thanks!
I kept wondering what went on between the jumpy edits/cuts. This guy's so good, I imagine it might have been laughter at his excellent, if sometimes recondite, jokes.
Good lecture.
Great lecture, thanks for the upload.
It is so valuable for my PGCE, really engaging and enjoyable 😉
Thank you for sharing this with us very informative really great
Dr. Foster's lecture shows why it is essential to listen to each other. Present-day events in the U.S. bother me because there is so much momentum towards one idea that we have not had time to process it or understand why it needs to change. Social change becomes unbalanced when groups of people feel excluded. Being a constitutional monarchist in the 1790's France would get you killed. I think there is a comparison between COVID19 events and the French Revolution in that if a person/group focuses more on emotion than logic, then things lead to craziness. In France, it leads to anarchy, and I hope that does not happen in the United States. In our present-day age, social and news media are pouring gasoline on a fire, which is the same thing that radicals did in the 1790's France.
My point is for everyone to enjoy society and not worry about their lives. A balance needs to exist free from the whims of emotionalism. It is right to protest, but if you fail to listen to differing opinions, then the spirit of disagreement dies. Balance and moderation help us to live together without fear.

Outstanding post! Please add additional posts on 16th-17th Century France to RUclips. Thank you.
I wish he would have went deeper into the fear of the revolution. There was reasons for Parisians to distrust Aristocratic officers. Many made direct threats against people. Take General Dumouriez, who handed National Convention commissioners to the enemy and then tried and failed to convince his army to march on Paris to end the revolutionary government.
What we can learn from the Frech revilution is somebody un biast should tell that story and just sum it up and stay whith the facts. Than you see for your self how horrible it wend.
When your French Revolution lecturer is boring as so you got to RUclips to find a better one.
But, what if someone IS trying to destroy the country and is literally telling you that is what they want to do?
Ah, that is when civil wars are started. I'm sure Robespierre did take radical steps to save France 🇫🇷 in the war from Austria and Prussia. But the paranoid destruction of people and other political parties was/is appalling
You got the order wrong at around 50 min. The Girondins were liquidated before the far left (Hebertists)
You are correct I thought that
This was a tepid description of the French Revolution. And it had very little if anything in common with the American Revolution
People with very good intentions got things wrong????? oh boy .....let me go...
This man keeps saying democracy. The founders explicitly excluded democracy which is why we are arranged as a republic. Democracy was equally as dangerous to the Greeks as it was to the French through the reign of terror. The Athenians harnessed this destructive power by occasionally exileing their best citizens for ten years. You can imagine how well that worked. Socrates could have been exiled but he revealed the worst depravity of democracy by suggesting that instead of exile they could vote him a pension. This left them with only the choice to kill him or give him a vast pension. They choose to kill him.
The United States has never been a democracy. We are a Republic.
I would argue us is an oligarchy of some elites...but i didnt like the trump alternative of a Führer state better. It actually was close to democracy, giving the mob the Image of freedom and Power to establish a tyranny. The old circle...wow i am talking to educated people on RUclips. :-D So used to trumpsters and crazy anti vaccer fanatics.
What is a republic? What makes it incompatible with representative democratic governance?
AFAIK in the 18th century it just meant "not monarchy".

Sort ironic that the american revolution was based on the same principals??
Not ironic at all, the movement towards more participative democracies was already well under way in many countries well before either the US or French revolutions. In choosing self government a colony would be highly unlikely to chose to create a monarchy where none previously existed. The US revolution was much more about colonists breaking away from their 'mother ship.'
good to see cancel culture is still alive and well today. Time to get some popcorn and watch this shit show get out of control
Cancel culture is a phrase that shields the person who uses it from making any kind of critical thought
@@pelmel1990 i am proud i dont really know what it means
Because of the media.. always..
Nahh its the pseudo alternative sheep, always.
" it is legal because i will it" thats basically what trump said and thinks
Interesting... that the accusation came from the machiavellian Duc D'Orléans...
No examples of that from Trump but many from Biden. Leftist projection over and over.
