5:38 Actually, not a bad analogy to antiquity. Usually they're hyperbolic and miss major contradictions, but Robespierre does seem to be playing the role of Tiberius-with his own self-imposed exile to boot. Too much of a stretch to call Saint-Just a Sejanus figure, but it's fun to imagine.

Now just need for him to cover which revolution gets "goth" to mean a sad sack who loves vampires ;)

History is repetioh. First time tragedy secon time a farce (Napoleon). Boris (as a copy aristocrat) for example. Interesting the 'party of order' leading to constitution being overthrown eventually Bonapartism - from below, the general will of the people but actions taken by a top leader Force beating constitution in rock papers scissors

France, only your dick is allowed passage into France. No room for anything else haha.

In the Hatina Revolution, the locals would poison, and you couldn't document any of it. Just insider knowledge of the community.

Reminds me of the war in Ukraine, the US is in so much debt we cannot afford to fund Ukraine ( no matter how you view the conflict morally), just like France could not afford to fund the American Revolution.

🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 25:06 *There was a significant free colored community in Santo Domingo before the Revolution, almost as large as the white population, enjoying rights similar to free Frenchmen.* 26:29 *By the eve of the Haitian Revolution, the population of slaves in Santo Domingo exceeded 500,000, forming 90% of the colony's population, highlighting its status as a slave society.* 27:11 *Slaves were imported into Santo Domingo via the triangle trade, with conditions in slave ships being particularly dire, resulting in high mortality rates during the transatlantic journey.* 29:01 *The brutal conditions of slavery in Santo Domingo included high mortality rates among slaves, driven by overwork, disease, and severe punishments, reflecting the harsh economic calculus of plantation owners.* 31:17 *The Code Noir governed the treatment of slaves in French colonies but was often ignored in practice, with slaves having limited protections and often being exploited for economic gain.* 36:22 *Despite divisions between house and field slaves, many leaders of the Haitian Revolution emerged from the ranks of privileged slaves, challenging the hierarchy within slave society.* Made with HARPA AI

I find it interesting how historically every major western country or empire is broke as shit all the time…

Thank you very much for posting this.

I can't deal with ads anymore. Ppl must suffer. Bet Mike ain't getting shit for it

Two annoyances in an otherwise brilliant podcast. 1. Please omit the announcements. They ruin the flow and I am listening two years after your family vaction delayed the podcast by one week 2. Do something about the sound if your breath in between longer pauses. Once noticed, its impossible not to focus on them.

These episodes are quite addicting can't listen to anything else ❤

The legal situation in the U.S. is not much less complicated when you take into account the common law and statutes of all the various states as well as the local ordinances, HOA associations, etc.

I miss mike

I never get tired of Mike duncan. We better start giving him money if we want him back.

Love these episodes. And the humor

The Arminians were right. Churches and grandeur, ceremony and elegance comingle well ... to an extent. Jesus admonished Judas when he complained about the expense of the oil for Christ's feet. I'm not a Catholic, but what befel the monastaries in all their majesty was a crime and a tragedy.

Upside down principle that the better of you were the less you paid in taxes.

Is this where Shane Gillis is getting his facts?

You should have made this podcast entry as a separate item: I couldn't care less about what questions others had, nor your answers to them: I want to hear more about the French Revolution!

You’re putting nothing but gold material out here, Mexican history is complex and ongoing.

I plap a hoe like Micheal

I've always been fascinated by the Porfiriato ever since I first listened to this series

Who else tries to pull parallels from this and the modern day dumpster fire that is current US politics?

Who else came here from Brofessor Shane Gillis

Very good. Like reading Shogun at first; I follow but the names have flummoxed me at times.

MSSP brought me here. Thanks dawgs.

Why this guy stop posting?

What exactly was the point of the pound of salt, that's a hell of a lot of salt, and while Villa had some hidden depths, but I'm not sure jerky and dry brining was one of them. (Also, Katz's book on Villa is a lot more readable than you'd expect, it's both incredibly well detailed and cleanly and tightly written enough to not be dry and academic. I enjoyed it more than John Reed's Insurgent Mexico)

If General Mondragón's name sounds familiar, he's the guy behind the famous rifle, as well as this whole affair

Lol Operation GIdeon copyied poor Miranda 300 years later

1848's Von Wrangel and 1917's Wrangel are technically members of the same family, but they're very distantly related.

I find it really funny that it kinda ended up being the 11 points and just Mihály Táncsics

It'd be fair to say Metternich wanted France strong and healthy, but also y'know in France.

I'm now wondering which Frenchman was being considered for the throne, because it's not like there were a lot of Bourbons left, including the infant Comte de Chambord there were three including the King, hell, even Louis-Phillipe d'Orleans would probably be too close to consider.

Does anyone know if any artists ever drew that image of Sucre that Bolivar described in the letter because that sounds absolutely badass!

The Simcoe tangent is both quite interesting as just, a thing, but also it's just another thread linking every revolution (but Mexico, but even then, The French Intervention) into one massive event from Edinburgh to Leningrad.

It's kinda fascinating that even in Sieyes' version of France, Napoleon still basically ends up a King, even if an uncrowned and limited constitutional monarch rather than y'know Napoleon.
