Every leader of France, EVER

[tagalaseimonlorenzom.hum]

Some French king: *screws France up*

French people: *Revolution time.*

[Kolateak_]

*Napoleon (The 3rd) becomes the first president of France, who then proceeds to make himself emperor and start a war*
French people: Ah shit, here we go again

"As a result, for the next seven decades France had a different Prime Minister almost every single year. This is considered one of the most stable periods of French Government." - France in a nutshell

The weird thing about the President of France is that they are actually elected royalty, just not for France. The President of France and The Spanish Bishop of Urgell are co-princes of Andorra, a small country between France and Spain. So Emmanuel Macron is a Prince! At least until he is elected out or resigns as President of France. Micro-states are so fascinating!

King: *sees guillotine*
"Is this some kind of a peasant joke that I am too rich to understand?"

Oh my God this is a really educational video. I loved it

You know, the Franks parted into West Francia, which largely became France, and East Francia, which largely became Germany. So us Germans also claim Charlemagne as our King, which makes it weird to always see him framed as a Frenchman internationally... but we call him Karl, since his name in Latin was Carolus. 😂

Video about every leader of Russia would be great!

As a French person, I must say good job! This is no easy topic and you managed to make it fun to watch 🇫🇷👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You should've mentioned that time de Gaulle said "Vive le Québec libre!" in Montréal.

I was very confused about the Capet part until I remembered that the Valois and Bourbons were technically branches of the Capet family, and that's really where their legitimacy came from.

Meanwhile, in Singapore:

Correction: Invasion of Russia happened in 1812 not in 1814.

>Mfw I realize CGP Grey's video on the English royal family/history counts as Regnal Chronology video.

[RealGoji]

Well, this is gonna get Quebec talking.

[jwilleseries]

I spotted a Breton flag in the background :D That's awsome

[SamAronow]

It's worth noting that the Merovingian Kings never had much power to begin with. The real power was with the Mayor of the Palace (Majordomo), which is what the Carolingians began as.

I can't complain that you not finishing your leader of every country in the world series when all the videos you make are this good anyway! (that's how I'm sneaking my complaint into this compliment)

[alexmacdonald]

not giving Louis XIV a shout out is tragic imo, so much impact even until today

[gameinformer]

I've been wanting to read about French history and it's leaders but never got around to it so I'm happy you made this video to give me a jump start. I had no idea how unstable France was for pretty much it entire history

Oh and Russia has a pretty complicated history I would love for you to cover
