One thing I really appreciate with the Historia Civilis videos is the calm tempo of the narration and little breathing pauses here and there. In an age where everyhing seems to be moving more and more towards rapid fire delivery full of references, jokes and memes, I find this approach very welcome and soothing! I also like the «hypnotic» synth music that drones on under the narration.

There's something so great about the combination of VTH and Historia Civilis, like oreos and milk

This is crazy good timing. The South Korean president tried a similar coup of his legislature and it seems like he failed just like Charles did. After this series please do an episode on South Korea's presidents

Reason to watch the video:

1. Learn more about a very significant time period in an important neighboring country? Good guess.
2. Learn what happened in your current most-frequently played game 6 years before game start? That's why!

Perfect timing! I was just re-watching the Congress of Vienna series this morning :D

[tomriddle]

Only issue I have with Historia Civilis is that we all would wish he would create more videos

[LaurenceGill]

Once again I am recommending the fantastic "The Other Great Game" series by Old Britannia about the history of Diplomatic relations between the UK and the US for a reaction. It's an amazing series.

Everyone always gives Bourbon restoration a lot of flack but I think Louis 18th wasn't a bad king. He really tried balancing all factions and was successful enough that he died on his throne, last French king to do so. He even kind of predicted that Charles 10th would mess it up with his Ultra policies.

5:10 Mike duncan, who did the excellent "revolutions" podcast, had a very telling qoute on Louis 18th "he rememberd everything, and learned nothing"

Historia Civilis has a great series on the roman republic / empire. Best Content on that Topic and what made them big.

The irony of VTH reacting to this considering that, today, the French assembly just toppled the executive branch.

[jukill]

i think that i commented the same on your reaction to Historia Civilis previous video, but the Spanish Constitution was not made by Napoleon, it was made by the Cadiz Cortes in opposition to Napoleon's Constitution, i think Historia Civilis mixed them up (understandable if you read any Spanish history from the 19th century).
Anyways great video by Historia Civilis and great reaction, love the new thumbnail style

[William]

Oh hell yeah, I saw that video and went "Oh I hope VTH reacts to this one"

13:47 technically speaking, the king of France was executed for collaborating with foreign powers to overthrow the revolutionary government and not for rejecting reforms

[bugsby]

A French head of state who calls an early election that leads to legislative gridlock and the PM is chosen not because his side won the most seats but because he agreed with the head of state and this leads to mass resentment and instability, whilst the whole time financing a foreign war. Who could imagine such a thing happening?

History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes <3

2:49 Hey Chris, I must add to this because he doesn’t add the context behind that invasion. That moment is known as the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis. It was an “invasion” by Louis XVIII to restore his distant cousin Fernando VII back to the throne as an absolutist monarch. Why? Because in 1820, things were going bad in Spain after the Peninsular War and the wars of independence in Hispanic America. Also, the king had nullified the constitution of 1812 just three years before. So, in 1820, he prepared a massive army to go to Venezuela to retake the viceroyalty but poor coordination, lack of pay and bad living conditions forced the commanders and soldiers to turn against the monarch. To regain their power and not create a civil war, Fernando reinstated the constitution and allowed liberal ministers in his government known as the Liberal Triennium. Since they essentially held more power combined than the king, they held him under house arrest was their prisoner in all but name. In 1822, as the concept of the Concert of Europe was being put in place and were worried about Spain’s liberal government. The economic situation failed to improved and many turned against the liberal government. That same year, Fernando signed Spain’s application to the terms of the Congress of Vienna (which they had rejected in 1815) and the Congress allowed France to intervene in Spain, which they did the following year. Many cities surrendered quickly and the only significant battle took place outside of Cadiz with less than 1, 000 casualties on both sides. The liberal government dissovled itself and Fernando restored as an absolute monarch until his death in 1833.

I hope these Historia Civilis videos bring more people to listen to the Revolutions podcast.
