    In the beginning when Oversimplified said 80%, he was referring only to the very, very lowest classes. (Dirt poor farmers, peasants, etc) Later on, the well known 98% figure is everyone in the third estate who was unhappy with the inequalities found in French society. (Middle classes, business owners, lawyers thrown in as well)

      Yes, there is something that few people mentionned is that the third estate was actually very diverse, a lot more than the two other estates.
      As nobility and clergy titles were almost entirely inherited, during the 18th century a lot of bourgeois (usually merchants and bankers) who were part of the third estate actually became much richer than many nobles, and that's also a factor that led to the revolution, as they were heavily taxed and not the nobles.
      In fact, most of the assembly deputees and revolutionnary figures were parisian bourgeois, and the illiterate poor peasants were mostly left out of the whole process. As mentionned in the second french revolution video by oversimplified, a lot of these peasants later rebelled with the pressure of the local nobles and clergy against the republic and especially the military circonscription.

    The tax about windows is real BUT it applied to nobles as well (not clergy). It had an effect on urbanism in villages that can still be seen today. You were only taxed on the windows on the front of your house. The poor started building long thin houses, most often with one or no windows on the front and several on the side, while nobles, rich merchants, mayors and such built wide houses, with a lot of windows on the façade.
    Also, there is a distinction to be made between higher and lower clergy. The higher clergy is composed of people that come from the nobility and assume leadership roles in the church: bishops, cardinals, etc. People from the third estate that became priests, monks etc, were the lower clergy. They sided with the third estate.
    Small precision about de Launay's death: while being escorted (quite brutally) out of the Bastille, he stepped on the foot of a baker (from what I remember). After he presented an apollogy to the baker, the crowd deemed it insuficient. They pressured the baker to cut de Launay's head. The guy was not exactly keen on doing so and only had the equivalent of an opinel to do so, but it was either that or he would be considered unopatriotic and most likely die himself. So... brutal things.

Her testimony is drenched with tears and the last thing written on it is : May God have pity of you. Good bye good bye my children, my eyes have no tears to cry for you anymore".
      The trauma she went through was so horrible all her hair became white and she declenched a womb cancer. Also all her trial was a scam. And her 8 years old son died of sadness and mistreatment in prison. They locked him in a cave for 6 months in darkness without seeing anyone. All he could hear at night were the guards waking him up in terror by insulting him. They knew he was terrified of darkness and had fun waking him up in fear. They also somehow made him being raped by prostitutes and then accused Marie Antoinette of incest. They made the child drunk and forced him to write an incest accusation against his own mother. During the trial when they accused her of that, she said "I speak in name of all the mothers in this room" she was absolutely DESTROYED we could accuse her of that. Even the Parisian women started taking her défense against this atrocious accusation. She was a very caring mother, she loved her children more than anything. She even adopted peasants children and black children as raised them as their own. She also gave them a very modest way of thinking. So, eventually her son became mute, cause he reproached himself until his own death the accusations he made to his mother. He asked the guards to see her one more time before his own death. And they refused telling him she already had been dead for 2 years. He died pleading to see a mother that was already dead.
      Their end was absolutely nightmarish....

    5:30 strangely enough, there was a reason for them doing all that partying and pretending like everything was ok even when they had massive war debts: creditors. I think the term was "rational opulence", or something to that effect. Their reasoning was that if you party super crazy like nobody's business, then maybe you can get enough loans to get yourself out of the hole you dug fighting a war and bankrolling a revolution!

    Pastry chef here to talk about bread. The bread they ate is absolutely nothing like the bread of today. Most of the bread were these whole-grain bricks that were incredibly dense and chock full of nutrients from the whole grains. I studied under a chef who would make a similar style of bread for breakfast for us. The stuff was like infinite energy. It was amazing.
    Edit: "let them eat cake" was more likely "let them eat brioche". Brioche is a type of French enriched dough heavily laden with butter and eggs, making it incredibly expensive and not readily available to most of the population at the time but commonly eaten by the upper classes. This period is also great for the history of modern-day restaurants as the shift of chefs out of the palaces and into the population. It's the beginning of how most people view eating out.

      @Commentator I did, thank you. I'm confused at how this is any different than American companies doing what they did in Latin America. Yeah, it's bad, but no, it's not colonization, and if the US, a great power, is doing it, then how is France a "small backwater nation preying on its colonies"? Unless you mean to tell me that the US is also a small backwater nation.
      I'm not a fan of France's continued presence in Africa. But this is classic great power geopolitics, and if everyone's doing it, why shouldn't France be? I din't see how China or the US have a leg to stand on criticizing Françafrique when they're doing the same thing or worse. You want powers to stop exploiting fragile countries? All right, then have them all back off simultaneously. Because morality has nothing to do with geopolitics.

    • @samrevlej9331
      @samrevlej9331 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Commentator Yes, and? I fail to understand how this shocks you; you seem to be a much more insightful geopolitical expert than I. Every great power exerts influence over foreign nations in its sphere of influence: you think China doesn't use African countries' debt to pressure them into giving them their infrastructures or their resources? You think the US didn't use their weight in trade relations with Latin American nations to obtain agricultural land or oil reserves? Of course they try and keep these things silent; it's hard to pass as a respectable partner and nonthreatening player on the international stage if people learn you bully smaller states to get what you want. Doesn't mean everybody doesn't do it. It's not pretty, it's not moral, it's not even slightly democratic, but if you think it's wrong and it needs to change (which I rather agree with, but my opinion is hardly relevant), singling out one country for functioning this way isn't going to amount to much.
      Or, y'know, if you're just doing this in another American attempt at French bashing, that's a pretty weak argument, especially coming from someone whose nation has such a record of harmful influence.

    Hiya, Window taxes were a thing here in France between the 17th and 18th century; it's why certain older buildings in France have walled up doors or windows. The people at the time weren't too big on disclosing their income to random strangers so the governments taxed them based on how their house looked. First in the middle ages(if memory serves), the lords would taxe based on the surface the ground-floor took, so the french built balconies to get around that. So the governments later on said "fine... Your house will have a fix taxe and the amount of opening will be variable costs" so people turned their houses into the Winchester mystery house.

The same applies to France, it was quite unfair. You can see this tax in effect on many surviving Georgian era homes. Where it looks like there ought to be windows, there are bricks. It is vey weird looking.

    The people of Paris goes to the Petit Châtelet in the first place which was the French army fire weapons storage building to plunder the bayonets, mousquets and almost every weapons they could take but they needed the powder to make them works. Of course there was no way to store it in the same place for security purposes.
    Some of the group leaders who was former conscripts and used to knew better decided to goes to the bastille where the powder was supposedly stored. The bastille governor hesitations just served to fuel the rage of the citizen...
