In 9 minutes you tought me more about the french revolution than my teacher in 2-3 months.

"... wait if France is broke, why do the King and Queen still wear such fancy dresses?"
"Let's overthrow the palace and cut all their heads off!" said Robespierre, cutting everybody's head off until someone eventually got mad and cut his head off.

I love the little jokes he slips in the drawings

[PJamBarker]

This is really well done. You've managed to condense a complicated subject without losing too much of the important information.

[cebonvieuxjack]

Damn, I'm French and I can say that you are entirely right on every thing. We can see that you've done a very good job, resuming a theme as complex as the French Revolution in some minutes it's really gard but you did it ! Great video ! We can see that you work your subjects, and further more it must take a long time to draw all those characters ! you won one subscriber. If you're doing that on your own, you really have talent.

Tywin Lannister at 7:02 killed me. After sending his regards

This is honestly FANTASTIC! Love the illustrations :)

Thank you so much for this video. I am in AP European History and right now we are having lectures about the French Revolution and honestly this is one of the most helpful videos I have yet to have found. Next lectures are about the Napoleonic Wars (Europe) So I hope to come back to your channel!

Can you imagine living through the French Revolution? What an interesting time to be alive

[LucaEnzo]

Please cover the "star wars"

Apperently it happened a long time ago in a far, far place so it shouldnt be hard

[komradetuniska]

I am having a History test tomorrow about the French Revolution and the Enlightenment Age and this definitely made it super clear to me. Great Job Ruddy.

[panzerwafflez]

Lol! Tywin Lannister reference in 7:02. Love all your sidejokes and references in your videos.

[ThatGuy-tewh]

3:48 - the "not to scale" notices were super helpful.

[TheLightStudios]

You should do the Napoleonic wars next
