- Welcome to the next country series, as chosen by the community! I wanted to have a broad overview of French history first before we really got into the details of French history with the country series. How did a nation that would go on to affect billions begin? And what events do you think were the most important in French history?

30:50 actually Napoléon the III was very good, he help unified italy, he created modern Paris, industrialised the country, make à lot of railway, modernise the economy à looot, had moslty good relation with the UK, also help the economy, and actually care about the poor, there is a movement among French historians for the rehabilitation of Napoléon III
Helping unify Italy was a good example of Napoleon III's catastrophic foreign policy. While France gained nothing from the newly established Kingdom of Italy, it certainly alienated the Austrian Empire; while a weaker Austria automatically meant a stronger Prussia (and then Germany). In fact, Napoleon III is directly responsible for the unification of Germany.
@@kevindvl8417 litteraly won Savoie and Nice
@@fritoss3437 Yes, it greatly helped him fight back the North German Confederation in 1870. Don't get me wrong, Napoleon III has been a great ruler, but when it came to foreign diplomacy, he was a complete idiot.
@@kevindvl8417 he didnt want war with germany, the parlement and his wife forced him to do so, he was ALWAYS against this war
@@fritoss3437 Always? He didn't hesitate to go to war with Austria when he had the chance.
5:13 : the symbol you’re asking about is called the Fleur de Lys (Lis flower). It became the symbol of the french monarchy in the 9th century. We don’t exactly know why, it’s just the royal family that chose it for some reason (at the time monarchies all had their symbols, eagles etc. so it was one among the others)
It remained the emblem of the royal family until the revolution, and it still is. If you are a french royalist (yes there are some, rare but they exist) you probably wanna show yourself wearing one on your outfit or sth
C'est un symbole de fécondité à l'origine.
I will just point out the wiki for "la fleur de Lys": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis
It could be seen like the irises that could be cared for in western Europe. France for that matter, climate being a concern.
But it still has to this day, a strong significance: "Royalty". And pretty much all over Europe, at least the central/western part of it.
According to google ( I just did a quick search might be wrong ), the channel islands including Guernsey and Jersey were part of Duchy of Normandy, so following Norman Invasion of England in 1066, when William the Conqueror became King of England they became part of Britain
There are a lot of inaccuracies in the video you reacted to but overall it's a good overview for a non-specialist and free video. Your country series is a cool concept but I'm "afraid" that 15 videos won't be enough ahah. French history is so rich that making fit only the major events/wars in very vulgarized videos in 15 videos would be challenging.
I'd be curious which inaccuracies you noted if you wouldn't mind noting some of them. But on the topic of the series, yes 15 videos is certainly not enough. I had originally planned to do 10, which increased to 12 -14, and ended up at 15 lol. At some point, the series does have to end
@@VideoLife146 To explain the 100 years war beginning it would be needed for a better understanding to mention Alienor of Aquitaine for example.
Fire of Learning has a similar, more in depth, series of overview videos on the history of France. They're on a playlist called French history on his channel.
Pls do Napoleonic Wars by Oversimplified next!
Coming soon!
LETS GOOOOO 🇫🇷💪🏻🇫🇷💪🏻🇫🇷💪🏻🇫🇷
If i understand correctly, you ask for origin of symbol "fleur de lys".
It came from battle of Vouillé between Clovis and the Alamamd.
Clovis army were trapped near a swamp and they then see a deer walking in swamp where lily flower, or perhaps iris, grow : yellow flower on blue water. They understand then that there is not so much water and that they surely can cross. So they did, and by this way escape from delicate situation and after make counter attack.
The flower with 3 part was also a perfect representation of trinity. And a legend say that the flower appears on his shield in Tolbiac battle, battle where he pray Jesus and decide to convert after his winning.
So Clovis took this symbol for royalty.
Excuse my bad English...

We don't really know what the Fleur de Lis is or where it comes from. It's commonly believed to be a lily flower, but it's all very unclear.
Jazby actually has a very good video on this ('France | Flag History') explaining where the Fleur de Lis and the colors of the French flag come from.
The "Fleur de lis" literally means "lily flower" in English and just looks like it.
4:30 the channel islands were part of the duchy of normandy and became English when William the conqueror invaded England in 1066.
Before the 100 years war Philippe II of France annexed Normandy. A couple of decades afterward ; the treaty of Paris was signed in 1259 between Louis IX of France and Henry III of England, where Henry III ceded the claim to Normandy and the French throne, except for the channel islands, hence why they are still part of the English crown till this day.
Commitee of public safety. Seem like a HOA that went out of control 😂
Where is Clovis ? first frank king way before Charlemagne?
The Estates General were considered an obstacle to absolute power by the kings. It was more of a late medieval tradition started in the 14th century and usually used to agree to more funding, but it lead to the middle classes (who made up most of the Third Estate delegates) trying to assert themselves, which the king (and the nobility and clergy) didn't like one bit.
After 150 years of basically absolute rule, King Louis XVI was stonewalled in his bid to tax the wealthy by the "Parlements" (not legislative assemblies but provincial courts made up of hereditary nobles) and the Assembly of Notables (made up of nobles and high clergymen). So he resorted to the Estates General in the hope that they'd find a solution for the debt problem (to be presented and approved by him, of course) that would be consensual. Of course, that... spiralled a little out of control (due to the Third Estate trying to pass new reforms and the clergy and nobility again stonewalling any reform).
The notorious Mexican Cinco de Mayo (May the 5th) was set as national day for Mexico because they won a battle against Napoleon the 3rd, not a proper battle as the invading french troops just withdrawn in order to fight against the new french prussian war...
VIVE LA PATRIE
The persecution of Protestants in France was more political than religious. Indeed, the Protestants had strongholds such as the fortified city of La Rochelle and granted themselves the right to have a kind of autonomous policy (under Louis XIII they allied themselves with the English for example, thus betraying the King and the country ).
They formed a kind of State within the State which will push Louis XIII (and Richelieu) then Louis XIV, to fight them and then to ban their worship because they are too dangerous for the stability of the state. So much for the precision ;)
Good kiss from France
1:54 Belgium is the true heir to the Frankish empire, not France
Modern Belgium is just a wish of false frankish kingdoms as you say
24:42 Far too simplistic....
Napoléon was not the Emperor of France but Emperor of the French.
Exactely, it's not the same thing!
You have to watch krauts new video on the audiology of putins Russia
Napoléon was Emperor of the french not of France thats a big différence
For tech end there is so to tell : why indépendant nuclear power for exemple (not as english who have to Ask US if they Can shot their nuke xd) ,why UE or why thé no thé Iraq war ans then thée try to stop the NATO ans create the EU denfense
The US had no impact in WWI ! The French, and the French alone stopped the Germans att the battle of the Marne in 1914 !
Hello *VideoLife,* and friends,
There's a series of documentaries presented by the French comedian *Bruno Solo* (usually a rather comedy-oriented actor, and, in particular, creator of the comic series *"Caméra-café"* adapted in many countries) recently proposed by *France Television* named *"La guerre des trônes"* (The war of the thrones) and declined in 6 seasons.
This one isn't pedantic as can be; for example, the French series *"Secrets d'Histoire,"* which is always far too dithyrambic and passionately inflamed concerning the French nobility.
Here, the tone is often more sarcastic and lucid on historical truth.
This fascinating and well-documented series details Europe's whole history from the Hundred Years War to the end of the 18th century through its wars, power games, and human passions.
The staging is dynamic, so you won't get bored for a second. I highly recommend it.
Peace, folks. ☮😏
And why they hate the west
