The Reign of Terror: Part 2 of 2 (French Revolution: Part 8)

[MrOreo]

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

Hi Tom! Thank you for the great videos. When will you post the next videos on the French Revolution? Directory Phase and the Napoleonic Phase? Please do asap!!

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.

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

The intro was hilarious, the video was excellent! Thank you so much!

I loved the last slides. Nothing more enjoyable than irony :D

"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.

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.

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

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!!

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

All but 3 countries use SI today.

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.

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.
