The French Revolution Part 1: Battle of Valmy

France is in Crisis. The King has been overthrown. The Government is divided. The army is in disarray. Now, Europe's great powers are preparing to invade.

This is the story of the French Revolution, and how France managed to emerge victorious, from a war against all Europe

(Part 1)

I got the crown from Freepik. check them out for high quality photos

Notes:

This series will mostly focus on the war aspects, so expect less content and focus on the political systems. Check out Historically adequate or the Revolution Frances series on Youtube for a deeper dive.

I am well aware of the d that slipped into baggage.

I know the French flag is backward, this is the flag of the kingdom of the French which was in charge during the opening stages.

I know the opening used paintings from 1830 and 48. I still think they are viable as they are often used to represent the revolution in general.

Yes I know it looks like epic history. They make good content.

Yes, it was intentional to release this on the anniversary of Valmy.

Sorry if the borders are not 100% accurate, especially the Polish ones as there was a large redraw by hand.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment them or send it to my gmail. I will have a final, 30-60 minute cut of the series which will be edited to adjust for any mistakes.

If you are wondering why the Prussians refused to move and died from disease, it was because reinforcements were expected from the Netherlands, though they were not received.

If you are wondering why the French kinda just let the Prussians go, that was because Dumouriez made a backdoor deal just to get the Prussians out of France.

And y'all who are asking about the next part, I haven't even started on the script. It will probably be out around January, but that's just going off of my own 3-4 month timeframe from prior videos.

I have been hoping for Epic History style videos on the French Revolutionary Wars for SO LONG, this is a great surprise

[nicbahtin]

[ConflictConquest]

A chaotic time, as civil war breaks out across the country, while they fight for France itself against Europe. I’m happy to see this era before Napoleon get some needed recognition.

[kets]

Finally someone covers the French Wars before Napoleon!

[ufukhalatoglu]

Finally someone is covering these campaigns

[IraklisGk]

I cant describe the level of happiness when I understood that finally there will be a channel eager to cover the French Revolutionary Wars. I really thank you. Keep it up!

[equalopportunityoffender]

Amazing video! I'm so glad there's finally some Epic History TV style content on the French Revolutionary wars. Subscribed and looking forward to more!

[Alecsandru]

Your style looks alike to Epic History. Keep it up, man!

[alloysiusfrancis]

Rooting for this channel so shall be on the lookout for all videos

[jackhughes]

Epic History should be the standard to follow and im glad it's inspired such content with the due recognition given. Keep going, you have our attention.

Revolutionary France won its wars against coalitions of European powers, with a civil war in France against the royalists.

[jingpanhuang]

You are a rising star! Hope to see more videos soon! Absolutely love it!!

[yehudacohen]

The narrator will never be on the same level, but the animations are roughly on par.
Incredibly done, even more so for such a small channel

[micahistory]

This channel's quality is just amazing. You have the quality of Epic History but so few subscribers. I hope this channel does well in the future!

In my opinion, the Battle of Valmy deserves to be acknowledged as a significant event, not just in the context of the Revolutionary Wars but also in European history.
Its outcome led to the National Convention declaring the end of the Bourbon monarchy of France, and the birth of the French First Republic.

The Revolutionary Wars are utterly fascinating yet always neglected despite the recent upswing in videos on Napoleon etc. Here's a subscribe just for doing this

[kayzenl]

Great video. We can see inspiration from Epic history but we all get inspire but the best on the field

[NikolaTheIlluminator]

This is fantastical.
Don't you ever stop!
