As always, I'm curious to hear your suggestions and comments! Feel free to subscribe for more content like this 😀
This is what a reaction channel should be. Thank you for your input, very interesting
Pleasure all mine, thank you very much for this heartwarming comment!
Let's go, and the Yellow Vest is back. Fantastic. I'll have a bit more to comment this time.
27:32 I, as a foreigner, feel Georges Danton is truly an underrated figure in the States. I do not know how he's depicted in France, or Europe, but when I first learned about him ages ago, it was truly a cruel fate what Robespierre commanded be done to him. I know later at least a dreadnought does get his name, but otherwise I'm not aware of other ways his memory continues in France.
35:40 To be fair, at least exactly as it says on the tin; it is "Oversimplified", but that is why we chill here; to get the context we missed. Keep well.
Ahhh the Yellow Jacket, french elegance at its best!
In the public eye, Danton is seen as the victim of the infamous Robespierre, who was his friend and ally, and who betrayed him. For historians, it's more complex: there's a debate between those who believe that he was indeed betrayed and those who believe that he was a man of integrity, an idealist and a fervent democrat. Others paint a more mixed picture, with corruption and no scruples about betraying his own interests.
On the second point, you're absolutely right: Oversimplified does exactly what it promises to do. And it's fantastic material to be able to exchange on and nuance, because even if I sometimes play to disagree with them what they do remains great and very valuable.
Thank you!
This was certainly a nice little lunchtime break, thank you. I really enjoyed this and your perspective as a French man really added alot. Im reminded again of my high school history teacher telling us that the Queen was a victim of a whisper campaign and he had much sympathy for her. I did notice how fear can lead to many, many bad things. Looking forward to more oversimplified, i also love the variety of content on here, please keep up the good work, you do it right!
Thank you!!!!! Of course I'll continue with new eras and even more Oversimplified! I, too, have empathy for Marie-Antoinette, who was the victim of an unfair and indignant smear campaign right up to the end.
You have excellent English vocabulary! Fantastic reaction and analysis from French point of view. I will now watch your reaction and analysis on OverSimplified Napoleonic Wars!
Thank you mate! Hope you'll enjoy it too 😀
I do remember that King Louis XV was attacked by a knife, that is the only major assassination attempt I know of. It really rattled the King and contributed to what I see as a mental decline.
Do you mean Louis XVI?
Yes it was number XV, he was saved by his thick layer of clothing. The guy who tried to kill him was named Damiens, and underwent a horrible torture before being put to death. I think Louis XV had a tendency towards depression, and this attack must have had a major impact on his mental health.
@@mrmadness2699 It actually was XV in this case!
Good to know, thanks!
normally quite interested in history i never bothered too much with the (first) french revolution. It can just be summed up too easily with "A bloody mess that only ended when the next absolute ruler took over". And in the end, after the Napoleon extension, it changed very little. Not even geographically, because all of Napoleons gains for France were gone again.
So learning about it is a lot of very complicated back and forth for a event that changed the world very little.
As for the new ideas, it came a bit late for them to be actually new.
It was at least an earthquake for France, with the end of a thousand-year-old monarchy and the long road to a democratic republic...
about The Great Terror, have you watched the animated movie The Tragedy of Man ?
I had never heard of it, I just did a quick search it looks amazing! Have you seen it?
yes I think it's a masterpiece@@ToonStory-fh4gn
Just found your channel keep the videos coming I love them
Thank you, that encourages me enormously 😃😃😃
Charlotte Corday, the best kind of conscientious objector.
😅 thanks for the l'augmentation, well said
That AT-AT walker in Maries hair at 26:20 ...Nice!
I'd forgotten about this image, but I've just looked at it again 😂
Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for making such awesome content. I discovered you because of Sabaton reactions. But I subscribed for your commentary and insights on all these historical subjects. While I have a lot of fun watching your video’s im also learning a lot.
Thanks a lot, mate. This kind of feedback goes straight to my heart, and gives me enormous energy to keep giving it my all!
I have heard that Blue, White and Red tricolor of the French flag comes from the City of Paris (who's color's are Red and Blue, also used as a cockade of the Paris National Guard) and the Bourbon Monarchy whom color in White.
Absolutely, it symbolizes the indefectible union between the nation and the monarchy. After the fall of the king, white remained as a symbol of the nation: the union of the nation and its people.
You know how important was the French Revolution when every other revolution is compared to it.
Revolution is our main know-how, and we tried very hard to export it to Europe afterwards!
Did you know when Russian communist's did their little revolution they studied the French one, particularly the Robespierre lead period ? @@ToonStory-fh4gn
well, what's more interesting is that how much other countries tried to be not like them and not act like them in their revolutions, as far as they could (Russia obviously failed)
More Oversimplified! :D ❤🎉
With pleasure ! 😀
I loved when you said....." its kind of a deeek move!".......fuckin' wonderful.
😅that one came from the heart!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn beautiful bro! Absolutely gorgeous, still has me giggling like a 12 year old girl
Duke Of Brunswick: "If anything happens to the king, I would burn Paris to the ground!"
Me: " Eh, you didn't need to bother yourself much! Revolutionaries will release you of such a burden and do that themselves in a much slower and exhausting way in years that's about to come and Paris won't be their only target!"
Europe: "You can't ravage your own country!"
France: "Hold my beer mate."
French Dude... I'm starting to have a problem with you. I created this identity to watch fun reactions to silly stuff or to my favourite movies and tv shows. This was my brain spa. You popped up in my feed with Blackadder and now I'm watching stuff about history and even thinking. Need I mention how much damage your channel deals to my ability to resist spending time on RUclips? You're catnip for procrastination.
Sorry about the rant. It's maybe not the best way to tell you I like your reaction videos. It's not your fault I love history. It's your "fault" that you're offering an engaging, thoughtful perspective.
hahaha I feel like a drug dealer who's lured you in with a nice little gift and made you fall into the trap of addiction 😂😂😂Thank you I appreciate your comment very much and don't worry, there's more Blackadder on the way so we can unplug our brains.
It sounds pretty damn bloody to me. Where is the Liberty here?
It was an ultra violent period, but for the liberty part: freedom of worship, equality in front of the law for all the citizens, (first) abolition of slavery, first decriminalisation of homosexuality, and so on...
@@ToonStory-fh4gn So you say, I don't see it
@claudiaclark6162 okay no problem 😀
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Freedom of worship or having dare to have different opinions! yeah, sure
@@altinaykor364 Absolutely!
