    Fun Fact: Fights would often break out between those meant to die by guillotine, but not for the reason you may think. These fights were to decide who would go first, which was to be desired. After just a few drops, the blade of the guillotine would become dull and require multiple drops to fully decapitate someone, which was, as you would imagine, extraordinarily painful

      Killing women and children of the counterrevolutionaries was often part of the plan. Those women, the thinking went, were very likely to breed new insurgents. People in that region were basically seen as backward hicks standing in the way of modernity.
      Revolutionary General François Joseph Westermann allegedly had the following to say:
      _"There is no more Vendée, Republican citizens. It died beneath our free sword, with its women and its children. I have just buried it in the swamps and the woods of Savenay. Following the orders that you gave to me, I crushed the children beneath the horses' hooves, massacred the women who, those at least, will bear no more brigands. I do not have a single prisoner to reproach myself with. I have exterminated them all..."_

      @@user-xh4mg2uc7e No, the song "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay is not based on King Louis XVI's speech before his execution by guillotine. The inspiration for the song comes from multiple sources, but it is not specifically tied to the historical events surrounding King Louis XVI.
      "Viva la Vida" explores themes of power, loss, and redemption, and it is not a direct narrative of any specific historical event or person. While the song's lyrics may resonate with themes of revolution or the rise and fall of leaders, it is a work of art that allows for multiple interpretations.
      It's important to note that Coldplay's lead vocalist, Chris Martin, has mentioned in interviews that the song was partially inspired by the painting "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix, which depicts the July Revolution of 1830 in France. However, the song's lyrics and overall meaning are not solely tied to this specific historical event or any particular figure.

    This revolution is so interesting. It shows that you can all agree that things need to change yet disagree violently about what change looks like. And even pursuing the loftiest ideals can end up in inhuman loss of life and power struggles causing chaos.

    One of the major figures of French Revolution was Louis Antoine de Saint Just, better known as "Saint Just". He was one of the closest friends of Robespierre. Death penalty for King Louis XVI was basically Saint Just's idea and it was him who started executing people over minor suspicions thus he was know as "Archangel of Terror".

      The story that Robespierre and SJ had people executed over even the most minor offenses isn’t actually true. It was made up by the Thermidorians so they could use Robespierre and his allies as scapegoats and thus get away with their own crimes. Other than that, thanks for this comment; this vid made absolutely no mention of Saint-Just (or other allies of Robespierre, such as Couthon) so it’s important to note somewhere.

    Reading Kropotkin's "The Conquest of Bread" has required MANY trips to wikipedia, and having this oversimplified timeline has been SOOO useful to keep all of the events and factions straight. Also, I'm learning more about the different things I saw in France, so it's really exciting. Thank you for putting this out there!
    I hope that the memory of one of my mothers almost causing a bicycle accident and getting called a "bourgeouis" as an insult will remain entertaining for years to come.

    2. - The postmaster recognized him from the coins because his face is on it.
    3. - The postmaster had to check his passport and it was attributed Louis XVI.
