I just love how in one day, there was already 4,000 barracks erected and 30,000 revolutionaries manning them. For those of you who've landed here thanks to the collab, welcome! I hope you enjoyed the video and that you consider staying for future videos. And for the rest, thank you for watching as always. And thank you for the 1,000 subs. Merde to you all!
The Second French Revolution included more than the July Revolution. In 1831, there was the First Canut Revolt, and in 1832, there was the June Rebellion. These two rebellions in 1831 and 1832 are part of the Second French Revolution, and the latter includes this song: A la volonte du peuple, Et a la sante du progres, Remplis ton coeur de vin rebelle Et a demain, ami fidele, Si ton coeur bat aussi fort Que le tambour dans le lointain C'est que l'espoir existe encore Pour le genre humain.
"In just one day and night, 4000 barricades were erected and manned by 30000 revolutionaries." Meanwhile in contemporary Germany we've been building on the new Berlin airport since 2006 with no completion in sight... Great work man! That's a whole lot of production quality for this small a channel. I really hope this collaboration gives your channel the attention it deserves. Also I love your accent
Well if it makes you feel any better, it's not any better in France now. I guess we need a universal disdain of something to get our asses going! Thank you Man Dude! It means a lot from you because I love your videos (even though I just discovered them...) And I really thought I had lost most of my accent but apparently not. Not complaining though.
@@ThisisBarris I think it's more political or era's related than a national thing, I mean except Switzerland, these weird guys who's yodeleing in their mountains. Nah, you still have a smelly baguette accent, but at least people aren't confused about your accent (As a walloon, it's common for people to think I have somewhat a german, french, irish even sometimes arab accent)
The French Revolution is famous on it's own, and the June Rebellion of 1832 has Les Miserables. This is a seldom talked about revolution that I think is so interesting.
Actually, the revolution occurring in "Les Misérables" is this very revolution (of 1830); and the character of "Marius" is based on Victor Hugo himself (who participated at the revolution of 1830).
While a liberal at first, it is curious Louis Philippe's reign became more conservative as time progressed. Especially since that was exactly the reason Charles X and Louis XVI were gotten rid of. The editing was once again incredible and you've managed to create a clear and enjoyable story about a rather difficult subject! Great job.
I'll have to do more research, and will do when I discuss the 1848 revolutions, but I always saw Louis-Philippe as being more opportunistic than idealistic. For example, in 1789, he supported the anti-Bourbon protests before he had to flee when shit hit the fan. So for me, he was just giving what the people wanted in order to gain and remain on the throne and then started to strengthen his grip on the country once things improved, which worked until it didn't. Thank you man! Always happy to see you here.
Yes, Louis-Philippe was a classical liberal; but classical liberalism is the political ideology of the bourgeoisie (in fact, the nicknames of Louis-Philippe were "le roi bourgeois", and "le roi citoyen").
Man the production quality on this is fantastic. I genuinely knew nothing about this period of French history too. Great vid, made better with your accent!
Thank you Stefan! Always happy to see you here and really happy to be doing this collab with you. I'm glad I taught you something new since 90% of what you discuss is totally new to me.
Great video Barris! Loved the polite sarcasm of the assembly, and how you tied in the continuous stream of events from the 1789 revolution to the end of Bourbon rule. Also the face morph between the different Bourbon monarchs was awesome!
Thank you Epimetheus! The interactions between the King and the Assembly is filled with overly polite passive-aggressivity which is pretty awesome haha I loved your video too - I feel like East Asian history, especially other than Chinese history, isn't discussed enough so I was glad to learn something new. I look forward to your second video on Greek Colonies!
"August revolution" As a Belgian I need to rectify a bit. I think you mean La Révolte d'Aout (Revolt of August), mainly in Brussel even tho' population was singing in the start la Marseillaise and using tricolor flags (Remplaced by the Brabançonne and the Tricolor brabançone flag), it was mainly a revolt for reacting against the Dutch grief of the King against the South (Belgium). The main goal wasn't the creation of Belgium in first place, but for political change in school system and language regulation. (Even tho most of Brusseler was just revolting due to poverty and was just angry) Even if the French would later play an important part of the Belgian Revolution, the July Revolution for the Press and people in Belgium wasn't seen a major event, and didn't inspired them. The revolt would be a revolution in the end of September with the creation of the Provisional Governement (27th september), and after the Siege of Antwerp majority of the poeple end up to fight for Independance. Fun fact : By twice the governement propose a Bourbon (Louis d'Orlean per example) to the throne of Belgium, but it was denied by twice
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to provide further details because, unfortunately, I couldn't really do so myself but I still thought it was worth mentioning. I hope you enjoyed the video. Always happy to see our neighbors in the comment sections. Merde to you!
The best outline I've seen on the July Revolution. Thank you for your work and sharing it. True to his father's service to the Bourbon dynasty against revolution, Prince Camille de Polignac the son of Charles X's last prime minister, served as a general in the Confederate Army in the American Civil War, that became the second American Revolution that smashed chattel slavery.
I came to know about this period of french history quite recently yet except the master(wikipedia) could not find any proper fully detailed videos about this on UA-cam I mean history matters and crash course did a great job but this video you made was the best and the most detailed.
Oh wow Evilcorkin! I hadn't realized you had grown that much - damn! Good for you man. I'm sorry I haven't been able to check on you much lately. Really busy with work and all. I'm glad to see you're doing well.
Still one of my very favorite Barris vids, though I think they are all terrific. I am very interested in how the 19th Century bled slowly into the 20th. And I think this is where it starts, when once and for all, the gains of the revolution of 1789 were affirmed and solidified, and there would be no escaping them going forward. Like all of Barris's videos, this one is so smart and so well done. Looking forward to more one day soon, hopefully!
Happy to see you here Tim! Sorry for the late reply, sometimes I have to dig into my comments to find them because UA-cam doesn't always notify me. And I definitely agree - the later half of the 19th century up to WW1 is my favorite part of history. It's just such a fascinating shift from the old world to the new. Wouldn't have minded living at that period, although I imagine a lot of nostalgia is involved in that. I hope you're having a great holiday season Tim and a happy new year! I hope you see your students soon too. Bonne année, bonne santé, et merde!
I just discovered your channel, thank you so much for your work and your passion! Also, as B1 level french speaker, i was always annoyed when non french youtube historians pronounce french names incorrectly, your french language makes your chanel even much more special. I hope you keep continue sharing your videos! and finally merde a toi!
Damn this is one massive crossover and I got a lot to catch up on. Great video and it really does cement the ideas of the OG revolution were there to stay, no matter how many heads got chopped off!
Great video, thanks for the hard work, shows in the quality of the writing, narration, and AV. For me, the French Revolution (FR) was always one of those ubiquitous topics/things/issues that you THINK you know about but do not actually. I love history and old things (because it allows me to escape the present and reminds me how tiny a speck in space/time the present is in context of existence of humans and ideas and the world) and got deeper and deeper into the FR because of the Revolutions podcast (if anyone knows it). And now I am obsessed. Reading (Citizens by Simon Schama, Road to Versailles by Munro Price, looking for more books), watching, listening. I have realized how little I know about the FR vs. how much there is to know. And now I regret that I did not take advantage of my privileged trip to Paris couple years ago when I passed up on visiting the Bastilles and wandered the chambers of Versailles aimlessly. And your accent helps too, everything you say sounds true/authentic. Thanks again for the great work.
You sound like a truly passionate person and I hope you get the chance one day to return to France to do what you had been unable to do back then. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for your wonderful comment. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris Thanks Barris! I misspelled the book titles in my original post (they are actually Citizen and Road from Versailles, and I meant the site where the Bastilles once stood). I am now reading A New World Begins by Jeremy Popkin, great book, a bit more balanced. I am fascinated by Robespierre (as I imagine lot of people are) and want to go beyond the popular image (at least from a conservative POV) of him as a monster and a tyrannical mastermind of The Terror. Truth is never so conveniently stark. Getting more books on him including his original speeches/writings. What is the view of Robespierre in contemporary France? Is he seen in a positive light on balance? Would love to know. Thanks again for the good work on this maybe the most seminal event in political history of the world. I truly believe the FR laid the foundations of the modern liberal political order - participatory democracy with multiple competing ideologies as the natural and most just political system (even if flawed/not perfect). The violence and bloodshed (lot of it may be un-needed from a modern sensibility pov) were probably a result of the abrupt and complete change from monarchy to democracy. France paid the cost to birth the new unavoidable modern more egalitarian (at least in intention) political order. And the FR was an actual revolution unlike the mislabeled American one which was not really a revolution (nothing much changed for the common man + slavery).
I just found this video and your channel. Wonderful explanation of a very, very complicated event. In part because there were so many secret societies animating the discussions. Le Charbonnier were really active and Guizot, who goes down in history as a villain, was actually very active in this revolution... but secretly. I'm a historian currently writing a dissertation that takes place in the July Monarchy. It witnessed an economic explosion and yes, the revolutionary idea continued to bloom leading to 1848.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it interesting and well-done, especially as a historian who is working on this very complicated subject, as you mention. As someone who is not a professional, it reassures me to hear that. Merde!
Thank you Marty! Always happy to see you here. I've definitely been uploading left but it makes it easier to balance with life and I feel like I have more time to improve my videos. I hope it reflects on the video's quality. Merde to you!
Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad the collab brought you here. The Paris Commune is definitely on my video list. The problem is that they were multiple Paris Communes throughout history. I hope you'll enjoy it and merde to you!
Thank you my friend! Always happy to see you here. I've had quite some fun editing this one although I think I overdid with some stuff. Congrats on reach 10,000 subs - you deserve it! Merde to you!
Thank you very much! With the support of people like you, eventually I will become more popular so I really appreciate it! 1848 is definitely in my check list but alas these videos take a lot of time to make but soon hopefully... Merde!
Louis XVIII must have been spinning in his grave throughout all of this. I kind of feel bad for him. He spent his entire reign as a moderating force in French politics to try and preserve the restoration, and hoped he would outlive his dumbfuck, reactionary brother. Only for it to be all undone in only 6 years.
You're absolutely right. I think, with enough concessions and liberal policies, France's monarchy could have been preserved until today in the same way the UK's was preserved (not saying I'm for or against it) but people get greedy and arrogant. Thank you for watching and I hope to see you in the comments again! And Merde to you.
Such a rich and interesting period, and video..."Vive l'Empereur"...Oups, "Vive le Roy!"...Oups, "Vive la République"...enough to lose your head! Greetings from France!
I definitely agree! The 19th century is just a crazy time where progress and technology violently clashed with tradition and ideology. And I think France during that time period is probably one of the greatest examples of that. Toujours heureux de te voir dans mes commentaires Phil! Et merde à toi.
Thank you! I really appreciate it. And yeah, people don't realize that it took nearly a century for France to become a Republic - it's never a fast nor easy process.
Marmont at 9:56, the guy who surrender his troops twice to make sure who Napoleon never could negotiate peace. At the end of the day all the enemies of Napoleon where supporters of the regime of the Capets
To be honest Charles X didn’t want to go back to the Ancien Regime. Even he recognized how ridiculous that was. He wanted a very VERY strong Constitutional Monarchy and believed he was doing this in the public Good and still acted in accordance with the Charter of 1814. Charles X actually enjoyed significant Royalist support from the French Peasantry. If he was bellicose about crushing the Revolution which was mostly within Paris itself, he could have easily raised an new force from outside Paris from the countryside. This is what the Prussians did to crush the Revolutionary movement that saw the King trapped in Berlin. Had Charles not attempted to conquer Algeria, he could have had those troops available to crush the Revolution. It was by no means inevitable that this happened Charles was a pretty naive person as King. If someone like the Sun King were in power this revolt would have been crushed. Or he would have called upon the Congress of Vienna to help him if that was necessary. That’s what the Italian states did in opposition to the 1830 revolts.
Fantastic work as always Barris! :) Been waiting for a vid from you for what seems like forever, and I suspected it would be a great one when it dropped. I was not wrong! Right, onto the rest of the revolutions! #ProjectRevolution
Thank you Cask! I had to reduce my output rate due to work/uni but I try to make up for it with length and quality. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the videos and the beers you've drank along with them. I expect a full review of those!
Personally, I think the Charter of 1815 was a little shortsighted on the part of Louis XVIII. My problem with the document is that it depended too much on the assumption that monarch and by extension the monarchy would bow to parliamentary convention and procedure. Perhaps had the document been more concrete in its definition of powers Charles X wouldn’t have backed himself into this situation
Good think that at least some among #projectrevolution do cover real revolutions. Thanks for an excellent documentary on one of the least known revolutions.
I guess we had a very broad definition of what a revolution was. I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's definitely in the backstage compared to the first French revolution despite its importance so I was happy to talk about it. I hope you enjoy my other videos too. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris - I didn't know the channel earlier and haven't got time to check any other videos yet, but I did subscribe because the quality was pretty good. TY.
Bravo ! Tres bien expliqué ! Je suis heureux de voire que des Français travaillent avec les chaines anglophones ! Je ne comprend pas pourquoi vous n'avez pas plus d'abonnés ! :-)
Merci beaucoup William! J'apprécie énormément. Et oui je suis très chanceux de pouvoir travailler avec eux et juste, en général, de pouvoir partager l'histoire et la culture de notre pays avec des non-français. Dans le futur, j'espère vous revoir dans les commentaires! :)
Sacrebleu! I have another awesome channel to subscribe to! You even mentioned the November Uprising! To be fair though, it did possibly prevent the Russian intervention in Belgium and gave us the Revolutionary Etude. Still hardly worth it.
Thank you for subscribing Artur! It means a lot :) Oh I had absolutely no idea Russia was ever involved with Belgium haha Poland has a harsh history being squashed between two major powers so it definitely saddened me to read about the fail uprising but I'm glad you guys are free now. I hope you enjoy my future videos and merde to you!
@@ThisisBarris That part about Belgium might be stretching a bit but the rumour about such intervention circulating among young Polish officers (and the possibility of the Polish forces being used in it) was one of the direct reasons for the outbreak of the uprising. I also remember Mike Duncan talking in his podcast about Russian stance during the London Conference being passive and begrudgingly accepting the conclusion due to their preoccupation with Poland. Nicolas I, the ultraconservative "Gendarme of Europe", was also a brother in law of the heir to the throne of Netherlands, so it seems to me that such intervention was possible but I don't know anything about actual plans being made.
@@Artur_M. Oh wow. This just goes to show how wild and complex European politics were (and still are today to some degree). I appreciate you taking the time to go in further details because I couldn't do so myself but I still thought it was worth mentionning.
I am part French and also German, Polish, Irish and a little tiny bit English but 100% American I think I will subscribe to your channel since I am already subscribed to two British UA-camrs and a German UA-camr
Were you referencing Winter by Vivaldi? (ua-cam.com/video/TZCfydWF48c/v-deo.html) Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed. I hope you enjoy my other videos, too. Merde!
This is Barris! - French History that was indeed the song! Great choice btw...first time viewer of the channel. I found this through the revolutions series, but I definitely plan to watch your other videos!
Yes, I really enjoy it. (And the fact that it's public domain definitely improves that enjoyment haha) I'm glad the revolution series brought you here. Looking forward to seeing you in the comments again!
So, I read more into it after the video and realised that the white flag is not actually correct - the white flag was definitely the flag of the French navy but otherwise, the French army still used the white flag with Fleur-de-Lys. Thanks for watching and merde!
One of the funniest things that happened during the revolution was when a man got a hold of a dress belonging to the Duchess of Angouleme, and shouting out a palace window like poor maiden in distress. Must have been quite a sight.
Yes I read about those too and it was definitely a lot of fun. I think the fact that the revolution was contained and resolved in such a short amount of time meant that it wasn't able to evolve into chaos and so, people were still pretty civil. Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy my other videos too.
This is Barris! - French History Well this is the first time I've come across your channel, and like the video, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Louis Antoine, the Duke of Angouleme, the so-called Louis XIX
Yes, he was worth a short mention but I was scared that it would add more confusion than anything because the revolution involved a lot of characters. Unfortunately, during the script writing process, I have to cut out a lot of little details that are nice to know for the sake of clarity. I hope that's alright.
Took me until college to learn about the other French revolutions! A shame, we don't learn Europe's full story on their long path towards democracy (Hello from Quebec)
Yeah, even in France you get the idea that the French revolution was a definite change to democracy when in reality, it a was a very slow process. Makes you appreciate what we have really. Je suis heureux de voir des gens du Québec ici - j'ai vécu 4 ans là-bas pendant que j'étudié à McGill. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris Je trouve que savoir comment ça a été difficile d'obtenir la démocratie dans la majorité des pays d'Europe aide à donné une perspective sur les pays qui ne sont pas encore démocratique. Entre autre comprendre pourquoi le printemps arabe n'a pas aboutit à des démocraties instantanées. Oh contente que tu connaisse le Québec. En quelle années es-tu allé ? Comment t'as trouvé ?
Oui je suis tout à fait d'accord. C'est une lutte constante et qui dure des années, mais pour moi, ça en vaut la peine J'y suis allé de 2015 à 2019. J'ai bien aimé même si les hivers étaient assez rudes. C'est une ville splendide pendant l'été mais malheureusement je n'y étais pas souvent pendant cette période.
I mean it took two world wars but eventually you did get a Republic. Better late than never! Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy my other videos and Scheiße zu dir!
Where are you Barris?? Why aren't you creating new Content?? If you're still out there then come back Your Channel is awesome I don't agree with all of your Views but the Videos are still great Hope you're OK!
No the revolution in Les Misérables, which is actually a revolt because it failed, was the 1932 revolt that followed the Three Glorious Days. It was a republican revolt which had little impact tbh but Victor Hugo was a staunch republican and so in it a tragic story of hope. Happy to see you here. Merde!
You're in luck because we're currently deciding on our next great collab and it's likely it'll be on Africa so if it is, I will definitely be talking about French Colonialism. I hope you'll enjoy it!
I think Africa is too vast a continent to make such a video but I could definitely do something on how it was under French colonialism. I'll look into it.
You're definitely right! But all too often, people think things are black or white in history when they are rather nuanced. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy my future videos too!
No, that's the 1932 one which attempted to bring France back to a Republic but failed so it's actually rebellion, not a revolution. I hope you enjoyed the video!
You're right. Definitely, something I will talk about soon. Promised! The problem is that there were multiple Paris Communes. I hope you enjoyed the video nevertheless.
Not related with the video but I don't understand why do y'all greet by saying "Merde" instead of "Merci" or any other word. 😂 Greetings from... Algeria. :)
It's a French expression to say "farewell" or "good luck"! Basically, it comes from theater - back in the old days, people would come by horse carriage and so, the more horse carriages there were, the more "shit" there was, which meant a larger public. As a result, actors started saying "merde" to each other. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris I've got some family in Marseille, apparently, they use "Merde" as a sort of porte bonheur, for luck. Mais merci quand même, for clarifying this for me.
There's actually an ongoing dispute between France and Belgium about which country invented french fries but for me, French Fries have always been associated to Belgium much more so than France. It's like a typical Belgium thing, you know? In fact, I was quite surprised to discover they were called french fries in english.
@@ThisisBarris the French fry is a very specific type of chip though. Its very thin, basically your typical McDonald's Fry. To me as a Brit the thick ones are chips and the ones in the middle remind me of the Belgium version.
I just love how in one day, there was already 4,000 barracks erected and 30,000 revolutionaries manning them.
For those of you who've landed here thanks to the collab, welcome! I hope you enjoyed the video and that you consider staying for future videos. And for the rest, thank you for watching as always. And thank you for the 1,000 subs. Merde to you all!
Moi aussi!Merde a vous!
You French have a tradition of rebellion and revolution that I find fascinating
Bring back the House of Bourbon
The Second French Revolution included more than the July Revolution. In 1831, there was the First Canut Revolt, and in 1832, there was the June Rebellion. These two rebellions in 1831 and 1832 are part of the Second French Revolution, and the latter includes this song:
A la volonte du peuple,
Et a la sante du progres,
Remplis ton coeur de vin rebelle
Et a demain, ami fidele,
Si ton coeur bat aussi fort
Que le tambour dans le lointain
C'est que l'espoir existe encore
Pour le genre humain.
You "love" it in what way? What's that (supposed to) mean?
"Like teenage intercourse..." such a great line (also not just a problem for teenagers, speaking for a friend)
I understand, my "friend" also has those issues...
My ex's ex had those problems
Wait, how's that "an issue/problem"?

I just discovered your channel, thank you so much for your work and your passion! Also, as B1 level french speaker, i was always annoyed when non french youtube historians pronounce french names incorrectly, your french language makes your chanel even much more special. I hope you keep continue sharing your videos! and finally merde a toi!
Thank you so much Melih! Your words mean a lot to me. I'll keep sharing my stuff and I hope you keep enjoying them. Merde!
Damn this is one massive crossover and I got a lot to catch up on. Great video and it really does cement the ideas of the OG revolution were there to stay, no matter how many heads got chopped off!
I hope you enjoy the rest of the collab! There's a lot of other great UA-camrs that took part in it. Thank you for watching man :)
Excellent work, as always! :)
Thank you so much :) Always makes me smile to read such comments so I appreciate it. Merde to you!
Great video, thanks for the hard work, shows in the quality of the writing, narration, and AV. For me, the French Revolution (FR) was always one of those ubiquitous topics/things/issues that you THINK you know about but do not actually. I love history and old things (because it allows me to escape the present and reminds me how tiny a speck in space/time the present is in context of existence of humans and ideas and the world) and got deeper and deeper into the FR because of the Revolutions podcast (if anyone knows it). And now I am obsessed. Reading (Citizens by Simon Schama, Road to Versailles by Munro Price, looking for more books), watching, listening. I have realized how little I know about the FR vs. how much there is to know. And now I regret that I did not take advantage of my privileged trip to Paris couple years ago when I passed up on visiting the Bastilles and wandered the chambers of Versailles aimlessly. And your accent helps too, everything you say sounds true/authentic. Thanks again for the great work.
You sound like a truly passionate person and I hope you get the chance one day to return to France to do what you had been unable to do back then. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for your wonderful comment. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris Thanks Barris! I misspelled the book titles in my original post (they are actually Citizen and Road from Versailles, and I meant the site where the Bastilles once stood). I am now reading A New World Begins by Jeremy Popkin, great book, a bit more balanced. I am fascinated by Robespierre (as I imagine lot of people are) and want to go beyond the popular image (at least from a conservative POV) of him as a monster and a tyrannical mastermind of The Terror. Truth is never so conveniently stark. Getting more books on him including his original speeches/writings. What is the view of Robespierre in contemporary France? Is he seen in a positive light on balance? Would love to know. Thanks again for the good work on this maybe the most seminal event in political history of the world. I truly believe the FR laid the foundations of the modern liberal political order - participatory democracy with multiple competing ideologies as the natural and most just political system (even if flawed/not perfect). The violence and bloodshed (lot of it may be un-needed from a modern sensibility pov) were probably a result of the abrupt and complete change from monarchy to democracy. France paid the cost to birth the new unavoidable modern more egalitarian (at least in intention) political order. And the FR was an actual revolution unlike the mislabeled American one which was not really a revolution (nothing much changed for the common man + slavery).
I just found this video and your channel. Wonderful explanation of a very, very complicated event. In part because there were so many secret societies animating the discussions. Le Charbonnier were really active and Guizot, who goes down in history as a villain, was actually very active in this revolution... but secretly. I'm a historian currently writing a dissertation that takes place in the July Monarchy. It witnessed an economic explosion and yes, the revolutionary idea continued to bloom leading to 1848.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it interesting and well-done, especially as a historian who is working on this very complicated subject, as you mention. As someone who is not a professional, it reassures me to hear that. Merde!
The epic artwork and music really captures the glory of French culture. Vive Delacroix, vive Chopin, vive France.
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy my other videos too. Vive la France et merde!
Barris, it's great to see you uploading again. I'm always happy to see your video's pop up in my sub box.
Thank you Marty! Always happy to see you here. I've definitely been uploading left but it makes it easier to balance with life and I feel like I have more time to improve my videos. I hope it reflects on the video's quality. Merde to you!
I didn't know this channel before the collab but when i heard that nice french i was subscribe. Pls do a video in the paris commune
Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad the collab brought you here. The Paris Commune is definitely on my video list. The problem is that they were multiple Paris Communes throughout history. I hope you'll enjoy it and merde to you!
Quality stuff, my friend! Each time your editing become better and better. Keep it up!
Thank you my friend! Always happy to see you here. I've had quite some fun editing this one although I think I overdid with some stuff. Congrats on reach 10,000 subs - you deserve it! Merde to you!
This is a very well made video. Thank you for making it :)
Thank you Addy! I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy my other videos too and merde!
Leave it to a french man to actually get the 2nd Revolution in on a last minute study session! Thumbs up to this guy. THANK YOU!
Haha I'm glad to hear it helped you out! Let me know how your exam went and Merde!
Love this video! You deserve so many more subscribers!
(P.S. I’d love a video on the 1848 revolution!)
Thank you very much! With the support of people like you, eventually I will become more popular so I really appreciate it! 1848 is definitely in my check list but alas these videos take a lot of time to make but soon hopefully... Merde!
Amazing story and wonderful narrative.
Thank you! I'm really happy to heard that. I hope you enjoy my future videos, too. Merde!
Magnifique monsieur.
Impressive franglais also.
Merci beaucoup! Et oui, j'aime parsemer des mots français de temps en temps haha merde!
@@ThisisBarris haha. I think there’s an expression for that in hinglish, non? ‘Le mot juste’, yes?
Louis XVIII must have been spinning in his grave throughout all of this. I kind of feel bad for him. He spent his entire reign as a moderating force in French politics to try and preserve the restoration, and hoped he would outlive his dumbfuck, reactionary brother. Only for it to be all undone in only 6 years.
You're absolutely right. I think, with enough concessions and liberal policies, France's monarchy could have been preserved until today in the same way the UK's was preserved (not saying I'm for or against it) but people get greedy and arrogant.
Thank you for watching and I hope to see you in the comments again! And Merde to you.
Well said
Très bon travail!
Avec un anglais vraiment fluide en plus!
Merci beaucoup Tony! Toujours heureux de voir d'autres francophones ici. À bientôt et merde!
Such a rich and interesting period, and video..."Vive l'Empereur"...Oups, "Vive le Roy!"...Oups, "Vive la République"...enough to lose your head! Greetings from France!
I definitely agree! The 19th century is just a crazy time where progress and technology violently clashed with tradition and ideology. And I think France during that time period is probably one of the greatest examples of that. Toujours heureux de te voir dans mes commentaires Phil! Et merde à toi.
Great video man! I didn't know that the French Revolution took so long
Thank you! I really appreciate it. And yeah, people don't realize that it took nearly a century for France to become a Republic - it's never a fast nor easy process.
Hell ya, nice to see you are back
Hahha yeah I had to upload less or else UA-cam would take over my life! Glad to see you here Ipernick.
Marmont at 9:56, the guy who surrender his troops twice to make sure who Napoleon never could negotiate peace. At the end of the day all the enemies of Napoleon where supporters of the regime of the Capets
Très bonne vidéo ;)
Merci beaucoup! Toujours heureux de voir d'autre francophones dans mes commentaires!
To be honest Charles X didn’t want to go back to the Ancien Regime. Even he recognized how ridiculous that was. He wanted a very VERY strong Constitutional Monarchy and believed he was doing this in the public Good and still acted in accordance with the Charter of 1814. Charles X actually enjoyed significant Royalist support from the French Peasantry. If he was bellicose about crushing the Revolution which was mostly within Paris itself, he could have easily raised an new force from outside Paris from the countryside. This is what the Prussians did to crush the Revolutionary movement that saw the King trapped in Berlin. Had Charles not attempted to conquer Algeria, he could have had those troops available to crush the Revolution. It was by no means inevitable that this happened Charles was a pretty naive person as King. If someone like the Sun King were in power this revolt would have been crushed. Or he would have called upon the Congress of Vienna to help him if that was necessary. That’s what the Italian states did in opposition to the 1830 revolts.
Good points Justin! Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy my other videos. Merde!
Et Merde, LOL. J’adore. Merci pour les french sous titres
Merci infiniment pour ces clips
Fantastic work as always Barris! :) Been waiting for a vid from you for what seems like forever, and I suspected it would be a great one when it dropped. I was not wrong! Right, onto the rest of the revolutions! #ProjectRevolution
Thank you Cask! I had to reduce my output rate due to work/uni but I try to make up for it with length and quality. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the videos and the beers you've drank along with them. I expect a full review of those!
Personally, I think the Charter of 1815 was a little shortsighted on the part of Louis XVIII. My problem with the document is that it depended too much on the assumption that monarch and by extension the monarchy would bow to parliamentary convention and procedure. Perhaps had the document been more concrete in its definition of powers Charles X wouldn’t have backed himself into this situation
I agree. Any document that relies on the goodwill of the people it's meant to "hold back" is bound to be corrupted.
Good think that at least some among #projectrevolution do cover real revolutions. Thanks for an excellent documentary on one of the least known revolutions.
I guess we had a very broad definition of what a revolution was. I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's definitely in the backstage compared to the first French revolution despite its importance so I was happy to talk about it.
I hope you enjoy my other videos too. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris - I didn't know the channel earlier and haven't got time to check any other videos yet, but I did subscribe because the quality was pretty good. TY.
Nice. thanks
Thanks !
Bravo ! Tres bien expliqué ! Je suis heureux de voire que des Français travaillent avec les chaines anglophones ! Je ne comprend pas pourquoi vous n'avez pas plus d'abonnés ! :-)
Merci beaucoup William! J'apprécie énormément. Et oui je suis très chanceux de pouvoir travailler avec eux et juste, en général, de pouvoir partager l'histoire et la culture de notre pays avec des non-français. Dans le futur, j'espère vous revoir dans les commentaires! :)
Great video Barris! Was this collaberation done via the slack chat that you told me about earlier? 🙂
Thank you Quill! Yes, it was. I hope you join us soon so you can take part in the next one. That would be great :)
Subbed and dinged!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And merde to you!
Sacrebleu! I have another awesome channel to subscribe to!
You even mentioned the November Uprising! To be fair though, it did possibly prevent the Russian intervention in Belgium and gave us the Revolutionary Etude. Still hardly worth it.
Thank you for subscribing Artur! It means a lot :) Oh I had absolutely no idea Russia was ever involved with Belgium haha
Poland has a harsh history being squashed between two major powers so it definitely saddened me to read about the fail uprising but I'm glad you guys are free now. I hope you enjoy my future videos and merde to you!
@@ThisisBarris That part about Belgium might be stretching a bit but the rumour about such intervention circulating among young Polish officers (and the possibility of the Polish forces being used in it) was one of the direct reasons for the outbreak of the uprising. I also remember Mike Duncan talking in his podcast about Russian stance during the London Conference being passive and begrudgingly accepting the conclusion due to their preoccupation with Poland. Nicolas I, the ultraconservative "Gendarme of Europe", was also a brother in law of the heir to the throne of Netherlands, so it seems to me that such intervention was possible but I don't know anything about actual plans being made.
@@Artur_M. Oh wow. This just goes to show how wild and complex European politics were (and still are today to some degree). I appreciate you taking the time to go in further details because I couldn't do so myself but I still thought it was worth mentionning.
This was soooo helpful, feel much more confident about my test tmw. Thank you
I'm glad it helped you out Carl. I hope your test went well and as we say in France, merde!
I am part French and also German, Polish, Irish and a little tiny bit English but 100% American
I think I will subscribe to your channel since I am already subscribed to two British UA-camrs and a German UA-camr
great video! What was the music used by the end??!
Were you referencing Winter by Vivaldi? (ua-cam.com/video/TZCfydWF48c/v-deo.html)
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed. I hope you enjoy my other videos, too. Merde!
This is Barris! - French History that was indeed the song! Great choice btw...first time viewer of the channel. I found this through the revolutions series, but I definitely plan to watch your other videos!
Yes, I really enjoy it. (And the fact that it's public domain definitely improves that enjoyment haha)
I'm glad the revolution series brought you here. Looking forward to seeing you in the comments again!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but was the white flag blank because the fleur-de-lis was discontinued by the revolution?
So, I read more into it after the video and realised that the white flag is not actually correct - the white flag was definitely the flag of the French navy but otherwise, the French army still used the white flag with Fleur-de-Lys. Thanks for watching and merde!
Apparently, not much was stolen from the Louvre, as the crowds as showed restraint.
One of the funniest things that happened during the revolution was when a man got a hold of a dress belonging to the Duchess of Angouleme, and shouting out a palace window like poor maiden in distress. Must have been quite a sight.
Yes I read about those too and it was definitely a lot of fun. I think the fact that the revolution was contained and resolved in such a short amount of time meant that it wasn't able to evolve into chaos and so, people were still pretty civil.
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy my other videos too.
This is Barris! - French History Well this is the first time I've come across your channel, and like the video, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Louis Antoine, the Duke of Angouleme, the so-called Louis XIX
Yes, he was worth a short mention but I was scared that it would add more confusion than anything because the revolution involved a lot of characters. Unfortunately, during the script writing process, I have to cut out a lot of little details that are nice to know for the sake of clarity.
I hope that's alright.
Are you going to cover the fall of Napoleon III or the attempted restoration of the Bourbon dynasty after his fall?
"The ideas of revolution are a permanent thing." My sides.
Ajafaljfshrosohrs LIKE TEENAGE INTERCOURSE!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
That killed me but I really enjoyed learning about this revolution more in depth.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and merde!
Took me until college to learn about the other French revolutions! A shame, we don't learn Europe's full story on their long path towards democracy (Hello from Quebec)
Yeah, even in France you get the idea that the French revolution was a definite change to democracy when in reality, it a was a very slow process. Makes you appreciate what we have really. Je suis heureux de voir des gens du Québec ici - j'ai vécu 4 ans là-bas pendant que j'étudié à McGill. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris Je trouve que savoir comment ça a été difficile d'obtenir la démocratie dans la majorité des pays d'Europe aide à donné une perspective sur les pays qui ne sont pas encore démocratique. Entre autre comprendre pourquoi le printemps arabe n'a pas aboutit à des démocraties instantanées.
Oh contente que tu connaisse le Québec. En quelle années es-tu allé ? Comment t'as trouvé ?
Oui je suis tout à fait d'accord. C'est une lutte constante et qui dure des années, mais pour moi, ça en vaut la peine
J'y suis allé de 2015 à 2019. J'ai bien aimé même si les hivers étaient assez rudes. C'est une ville splendide pendant l'été mais malheureusement je n'y étais pas souvent pendant cette période.
As a German I have to be reminded that Revolutions can actually succeed.
I mean it took two world wars but eventually you did get a Republic. Better late than never! Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy my other videos and Scheiße zu dir!
9 monarques? Euh... Napoléon 1er, Louis 18, Charles 10, Lous Philippe, et Napoléon 3, ça fait 5. A moins que vous ne comptiez le directoire ?
Ah just subscribed
Thank you for subscribing! I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy my other videos, too.
What was the name of the song used in your opening?
Serenade for strings in E major by Antonín Dvořák. Thanks for watching and merde!
@@ThisisBarris Of course citizen
If history teaches us one thing it is that every retreat eventually turns into a route
It was actually the middle guard that was used in the last charge at waterloo.
I like the white flag part. It's way funny when you mention "surrender jokes"
I mean, surrender jokes are always so original, am I right?
@@ThisisBarris I was curious, though. How do you use a white flag for jokes?
Where are you Barris?? Why aren't you creating new Content?? If you're still out there then come back Your Channel is awesome I don't agree with all of your Views but the Videos are still great Hope you're OK!
Napoleon: "There's nothing we can do"
The People: "But we can , in your honor" 💪
Looks like I found 4 additional youtube history channels
I'm glad you did! Thank you for watching.
Is this the Revolution alluded to in Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES? There's scene of battle at the barricades.
No the revolution in Les Misérables, which is actually a revolt because it failed, was the 1932 revolt that followed the Three Glorious Days. It was a republican revolt which had little impact tbh but Victor Hugo was a staunch republican and so in it a tragic story of hope. Happy to see you here. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris So Victor Hugo's character Enjolras was really a republican insurrectionist leader of a defeated insurgency
@@ThisisBarris Wait 1932?
The music..from Civ V? France: War Theme (Cancan)?
Yes! I love the game and I thought it fit the theme quite well, no? Great music.
Thank you for watching.
damn...I like your accent
Awesome vid btw
I'm glad you enjoy it! Unfortunately I've lost quite a bit of it so I hope to maintain what's left. Thank you for watching and merde!
I wish us British possessed a fraction of the resolve displayed by the Parisians when faced with nepotism.
Can you make a video on French Colonialism in Africa
You're in luck because we're currently deciding on our next great collab and it's likely it'll be on Africa so if it is, I will definitely be talking about French Colonialism. I hope you'll enjoy it!
I think Africa is too vast a continent to make such a video but I could definitely do something on how it was under French colonialism. I'll look into it.
just like what they said, the green in the french flag means stability
I don't think the people of the Congo are too happy with the August Revolution.
Yes, but French Fries though... Thank you for watching George and merde!
Man do we ever need a guillotine-bat signal..
Hey, the Three Glorious Days gave us that Coldplay cover album...So, it served its purpose
Yo french dudes, ready for 4th revolution?
Yesterday the French were protesting for democracy. Today the French are protesting against democracy
change is often icrimental
You're definitely right! But all too often, people think things are black or white in history when they are rather nuanced. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy my future videos too!
@@ThisisBarris thank you for the warm compliment
Je n'ai qu'une chose à dire Vive la France ! 🇫🇷 Merde !
Oui! Tout à fait! Vive la France et Merde hein!
Toujours heureux de voir d'autres français dans les commentaires.
This is the revolution in Les Miserables right?
No, that's the 1932 one which attempted to bring France back to a Republic but failed so it's actually rebellion, not a revolution. I hope you enjoyed the video!

Shame no video on the paris commune.
You're right. Definitely, something I will talk about soon. Promised! The problem is that there were multiple Paris Communes.
I hope you enjoyed the video nevertheless.
@@ThisisBarris I meant in the whole collab, and yes, it was a good video.
Oh yeah. I should have pointed that out. I'll make up for it though.
Nothing has change,since rioting was french birth right.
Always!
May the revolutionaries rot in hell for all eternity.
Not related with the video but I don't understand why do y'all greet by saying "Merde" instead of "Merci" or any other word. 😂
Greetings from... Algeria. :)
It's a French expression to say "farewell" or "good luck"! Basically, it comes from theater - back in the old days, people would come by horse carriage and so, the more horse carriages there were, the more "shit" there was, which meant a larger public. As a result, actors started saying "merde" to each other. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris I've got some family in Marseille, apparently, they use "Merde" as a sort of porte bonheur, for luck. Mais merci quand même, for clarifying this for me.
12:26
Aux barricades, mes frères! Vive la France!
Vive la France! Merci d'avoir regardé et j'espère te voir dans mes prochaines vidéos.
Have you heard of Louis XVII and XIX?
Yes of course! Although they're definitely footnotes of history.
Can we get a F in the comments for napoleon
F
Marie antonette had a mistress?
Nothing confirmed but there were definitely speculations.
I thought french fries were French i mean its in the name
There's actually an ongoing dispute between France and Belgium about which country invented french fries but for me, French Fries have always been associated to Belgium much more so than France. It's like a typical Belgium thing, you know?
In fact, I was quite surprised to discover they were called french fries in english.
@@ThisisBarris wow I did not know that
well I am going to watch the rest of the playlist now
Enjoy!
@@ThisisBarris the French fry is a very specific type of chip though. Its very thin, basically your typical McDonald's Fry. To me as a Brit the thick ones are chips and the ones in the middle remind me of the Belgium version.
This revolution is also known as lithosgshshsh
