Shit got real when King Loui was caught trying to flee. Whether you're the head of the defense defense department, or leader of the sail club, you don't slack on your duties. Otherwise, heads start rolling 🙃

Ironically it was Robespierre who in 1774 as a young student, he studied at the college Louis-le-Grand for lawyer, a Latin speech had to execute for Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette that same day to King and Queen of France were crowned! Both Louis XVI and Robespierre appeared to be each other when good if the latter during the French revolution in favour of be to the disgraced King in 1793 to condemn to death! So wanted to condemn Robespierre later also Marie Antoinette let but he went when one of his associates and the biggest nemesis of the Queen, Jacques Hébert, to his false charges against her (Hébert accused the Queen of incest with her son Louis XVII and a later rumored that Robespierre with his sister Marie-Therésé-Charlotte wanted to get married) so hate that Robespierre half a year later Hébert in turn sent to the guillotine, followed by Georges Danton. The two latter were Jacobins, along with Jean-Paul Marat in his bath would be murdered, been instigators of the infamous massacres in 1792 (after the fall of the monarch) in which more than 1000 people were horribly murdered!

In the time that we got there I was in history class about the Mavo studied French Revolution that broke out with the storming of the Bastille in 1789. I also learned that Maximilien Robespierre was the leader of the radical Jacobins and that he would being the mastermind behind the great terror of 1793-1794 the cost literally thousands of French Cup! I went a little more then me delve into the French Revolution and found out that Robespierre totally with mass murderers as Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong etc. is to compare the former lawyer from Arras wars there was money, wealth and luxury and he as the Upright or the Onontkoopbare ' possessed ' nicknames.

Robespierre...God saves his soul...he had good intention but is excessively obsessed with ideals.

[MrConan]

Oh dear, I quit at 35 seconds. It is like the school 'swat' talking over in a monotone.

[kristinablin]

this is good but some mistake thought, i was never a dictator, and he was executed AFTER a trial

[ezandman]

This video gives us the idea King Louis was killed by Robespierre which is absolutely not true.

As Robespierre would likewise be by former supporters who only wanted to save their own skin and had a lot of blood shed during the terror. This vile villains escaped the guillotine but not to their terrible past and after they under Napoleon Bonaparte (this was also briefly became friends with Robespierre and his wife Joséphine de Beauharnais was short with the sister of Robespierre, Charlotte, became friends) high positions they were after his fall in 1815 France kicked or deprived of their power and poverty, doom and gloom died without anyone but them also regretted! But that was their deserved punishment for their criminal duplicity.
