UsefulCharts if you don’t mind me asking why did you cut it off right before the Paris commune?
French people：Do you wanna be king？
Henri： *Well yes, but actually no*
Macron say Yes !
Fun fact: Henri became both the legitimist and orleanist candidate and almost became king. The only reason why this happened was because he didnt want to have the tricolor flag.
@Gopi Gajwelly Yes and no. The Monarchist decided to wait for him to die before proclaiming his successor as king, but by that time the Republic was firmly enough entrenched.
Yep, he would have to rethink about the flag as I may have guessed the tricolour is very popular with many French people up to today. I think the royal white and golden fleurs were not very popular with them, only to these who have strong loyalty to the monarchy.
And second fun fact: in 1870 it was so unclear whether the republic would end up being replaced with a monarchy or not that they deliberately crafted the constitution with both a prime minister and a president (both with real powers, not ceremonial) so they could easily replace the president with a king without having to rewrite the whole thing.
@@DavBlc7 Just a few of really die-hard Legitimists wanted to adopt the white flag again. The Army was almost entirely monarchist, but replacing the Tricolour was absolutely unacceptable. I always wonder why Henri couldn't agree to a compromise: he even designed a Tricolour flag with Bourbon arms in the middle in his youth before he became an arch-conservative
@@emmanuellaurens2132 Third fun fact: Georges Clemenceau ironically called Henri "the French Washington" - because without his stubbornness French Republic wouldn't survive the 1870s
What a turbulent time in French history. Great way to break it down.
It surely was a turbulent time in French history after all this is the history of my ancestors original homeland. Also can you see if there are a claimant to the French throne today that lives today through another branch of the Capet family apart from the Bourbon branch if we go farther back into the succession to King Louis IX's other sons or the sons of King Louis VIII or his grandfather King Philip II? Just to see if another new branch of the Capet family lineage has another direct male lineage male to the French throne exists today that doesn't come from the Bourbon branch or the many branches of the Bourbon branch of the Capet family today that exists. I'm asking because I was wondering if another branch of the Capet's has survived through an all male line through other sons of the direct Capetian kings that are not apart of the Bourbon branch through King Louis IX's grandson Louis I, Duke of Bourbon. Like through Louis I, Duke of Bourbon's uncles and great-uncles, or his great-great-uncles. Like through the sons of Philip II, or the other sons of Louis VI to the other sons of Philip I, or the other sons of Henry I. That's if the monarchists in France wanted to find a direct male lineage back to Hugh Capet through his direct Capetian successors going back to Hugh's son Robert II to find another successor to the French throne through the direct Capetian kings of France other than the branches that survives today through the Bourbons or the Valois branches of the Capet family. Because it would be interesting to find the direct male lineage man who is a direct male line descendant of the other sons of the Direct Capetian kings of France that are living today.
Robert II had four sons: Hugh Magnus, Henry I, Robert, and Odo. Does anyone of these four of Robert II's sons have a direct male line descendant living today?
Henry I had three sons of his own: Philip I, Robert, and Hugh the Great. Does anyone of these three sons of Henry I have a direct male line descendant living today?
Philip I had four sons as well: Louis VI of France, Henry, Philip, Count of Mantes, and Fleury, Seigneur of Nangis. Does anyone of these sons of Philip I has any direct male line descendants living today?
Then I believe Louis VI had more sons than he had uncles and his own father had with his brothers. Louis VI had seven sons whose names are: Philip his co-King, Louis VII (1120 - 18 September 1180), King of France, Henry (1121 - 13 November 1175), Archbishop of Reims, Hugues (ca 1122 - died young), Robert (ca 1123 - 11 October 1188), count of Dreux, Peter (September 1126 - 10 April 1183), married Elizabeth, Lady of Courtenay, and Philip (c.1132 -1160), Archdeacon of Paris. Does any of these men have direct male line descendants living today at all?
As we know King Philip II was the only son of King Louis VII of France. But Philip II did have two sons Louis VIII, and Philip (July 1200 - 14/18 January 1234), Count of Boulogne. Philip gave Philip II one grandson whose name was Alberic, Count of Clermont. Does Alberic, Count of Clermont have male line descendants that are living today in France or else where in the world today?
We all know the Bourbon branch comes from Louis VIII's grandson through King Louis IX named Prince Louis, the first Duke of Bourbon where the Bourbon name for this branch comes from. Louis I, the first Duke of Bourbon was the son of Robert, the Count of Clermont, who is the sixth born son of Louis IX. Does these older brothers of Robert the Count of Clermont has direct male lineage descendants living today?
They forgot to talk about the Montagnards the Jacobin and the girondins
Love the breakdown, made it super easy to follow!
Excellent synopsis! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would add: 3 revolutions but also 7 coups-d’états.
1st Republic:
- Coup 1: Jacobins seize power (those behind Danton and Robespierre) and declare a republic. Many historians regard this as the true revolution and what happened in 1789 to be just a reform from absolute to constitutional monarchy.
- Coup 2: 1793, Thermidorians overthrow Robespierre and bring in a bourgeois authoritarian republic (the Directory)
- Coup 3: 1799, 18th Brumaire, Bonaparte seizes power and brings in his Consulate, which morphs into the Empire in 1804.
2nd Republic: Louis-Philippe overthrown in February.
- Coup 4: June 18, the Assembly overthrows Lamartine’s democratic government and installs an authoritarian republic.
- Coup 5: December 1851, President Louis Bonaparte overthrows himself and brings in another “consulate” which like his uncle’s becomes an Empire a year later.
3rd Republic, 4 September 1870:
The Paris Commune of 1871 was a revolt like that of the 1792 coup and the 1832 revolt. But by then the 3rd republic gradually became more and more democratic over the years, so that by 1940 it was the right that was rumbling for revolt.
- Coup 6: 1940, marshal Pétain overthrows the 3rd Republic and installs the quasi-fascist French state with Nazi support.
4th Republic:
- Coup 7: 1958, general DeGaulle does a bloodless quasi-pseudo coup to bring in the 5th Republic, which was probably a good thing... Not all coups are bad.
Coup 2 : 1794
Fun fact if you want to carry the story forward (perhaps in another video): Napoleon I's brother Jérôme Bonaparte was the father of Jérôme Napoléon Bonaparte, whose son Charles Joseph Bonaparte graduated from Harvard College in 1871 and became US Secretary of the Navy, US Attorney General, and the founder of the FBI.
Oh wow. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
Excellent video Matt. Such a confusing time in French history and you have laid it out succinctly and clearly. Hope you do more timeline style videos and charts in the future
I learned more about my own country's history in this video than in school. Thanks man !
You guys just made my Saturday with your revolution videos.Thank you all!
I've needed a clear explanation for years. High School World History glossed over most of these complications. Also thank you for including the Les Miserables reference. I watched the Masterpiece Theater version, and they put dates on all the segments. This chart puts them in better context. This made me think of the last two seasons of Victoria. Louis Phillippe shows up twice. Who can say if the dialog is correct, but were the dates correct?
I don't know about the show Victoria but Louis-Philippe had a prominent role during the First French revolution (1789) and then following the second one in 1840. In the first one, he financially supported a lot fo the anti-bourbon conspiracies and newspapers in hopes that they would elect him as Kings since he was the cousin of the King. When things got much more violent, he was forced to flee but he did end up becoming King following the July revolution of 1830. Maybe that's why he shows up twie?
Two actors who are playing Louis Philippe are way too young - particularly the guy in the 3rd series (he looks like he's in his later forties, while the real Louis Philippe was 75 in 1848). However his plotline is mostly correct (except for some silly French stereotypes the authors put on him - he was in fact very austere and bourgeois-like) unlike so many other things in this entertaining but absolutely inaccurate series. Louis Philippe died in England in 1850 (just like Napoleon III 23 years later)
The cooperations between channels is great.
Liang Qichao, one of China's most prominent reform proponents before the Qing dynasty collapsed, considered the "medicine of liberty" to "cure for the corruption and degeneration of China". He shied away from a violent approach such as the French revolution, stating that the sacrifices of 1789-1793 were rewarded only in 1870, with the rewards barely measuring up to the expectations. I think this video makes all too clear that he was right: France struggled with its political system for decades after its initial revolution. Great video, thoroughly enjoyed the timeline!
Great overall view of France's revolutions Matt! It was a pleasure collaborating with you and Ancient Accounts on this subject.
Little story: While generally believed to be untrue by historians today, there were a lot of rumors spread by Napoleon's III enemies that he wasn't the legitimate child of Napoleon I's brother and in fact, the child of another man since his parents' marriage was rather tumultuous. Some of these staunch opponents were Victor Hugo and Noël Madier de Montjau, which is the guy I use as my character, who happens to be one of my ancestors!
So yeah, that's about the only relevance my family has with French history.
Wow. That's very interesting!
That's so interesting!
@@UsefulCharts Not as interesting as his incredible beard though!
I’m a year late, but I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that DNA testing proved that Napoleon III was not Napoleon Ist nephew, as they don’t share a Y chromosome.
As always thank you for your awesome videos, Sir 😄
Tricolors drool, white flags rule!
-Henri, probably
Probably his biggest mistake not to accept the tricolour which is very popular with many French people.
This was the biggest mistake he did if he had accepted the tricolour
Most probably France would be a monarchy today
Fantastic! Thank you -- very clear and concise.
love these group uploads! great video as always!
I love this kind of historical event charts
Keep on the good work
Wish you had been my history teacher. (long before you was even born lol) I use to fall asleep listening to teachers but you make history interesting and easy to follow along with your wonderful charts. I find myself watching your videos rather than watching Netflix. So thank you for making these videos. Have a great week. Hugs!
It was really cool of you to do a timeline breaking down the revolutions of mine and barris' videos definitely gives you a great overall picture
Hey, some comments. The first Republic was never called a Republic and before the Empire there was the Directoire and the Consulat. Also, a fourth revolution occured before the Third Republic: la Commune de Paris but it failed. Thank you for you very interesting vids.
thers barely anyone explainin 19th century french history in english. I really appreciate u making this. answered alot of my question
You explain it so clearly and I love the chart! It is finally clear to me! Thanks
Yes!!!! I love this period and especially Napoleon sooooo much. Thank you for this video, and for your hard work. Your channel is awesome. From Belgium.
Good job dude🤗🤗😇😇🤗🤗😇😇🤗🤗😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗😇😇🤗🤗🤗🤗😇😇🤗🤗😇😇😇🤗🤗😇🤗🤗😇😇🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
your my favourite youtuber
I learned all of this in 2009 when I was in 10th grade for AP Euro. This is the first time I fully understood the order/factions involved. I’m mind blown!!!
This was excellently put, made it really easy to follow and understand. Our schools could never.
me: one more video before bed :D
useful charts: this is part of a collab between a ton of other youtubers, playlist is below
me: oh god oh god oh god oh god
thank you so much for the link to the graph I will be using it in my essay
Just lovely!
What about the Paris commune
Or Vichy.
The Paris Commune is classified as a "rebellion". Because it's failed, and outside of Paris, not many people were for their ideas (even in).
For Vichy France, it's a state that's happens after the 4rd Republic, with Petain as head of state. It's become a pupet before being annexed / occupied by germany later in the war. BUT ! Because De Gaulle, said that he was the head of state of France in exile, and the AEF (colony) join him, and, he managed to being ussfull as an opposition leader, and because we won the war, Vichy France is considerated as german occupation without legitimy. It's not in the considerated as a republic in the France republic's history.
This is awesome!
Good one! Do you know that some historians project the Bonapartist/Orleanist/Legitimist division onto 20th century French Right? If the Republicans were likewise subdivided, the chart could be extended into the 20th century. That would be some great chart.
Bonapartist = De Gaulle
Orleanist = moderate conservatives
Legitimist = FN
Something like that?
@@max__pain Pretty much. It's René Rémond's thesis, if I reckon.
Have you considered/done a “true king” video for France? Edit: linked at end of video
Great video!!!! Can you please do a video on the evolutionary tree of religion and/or one on how languages developed? That would be really interesting to learn about!!
Do a video on the Belgian monarchy family tree.
great video!
Thank you
as a French, I'm rather sad that during the revolution we destroyed many treasures of our history,
such as artefacts of the monarchy, or the tombs of several of our kings (or other personalities linked to the monarchy).
your video is great but there are minor mistakes :
1/ The first republic was from 1792 to 1795, then there was the "Directoire" with Robespierre until 1798/1799, and then the "Consulat" until 1804 with Napoleon.
2/ Louis napoléon Bonaparte was elected President of the 2nd Republic and then he asked the people to vote (male universal voting) wether it (the people) wanted him to be emperor. The people said yes so he became Napoleon III
Thanks for the extra details.
Such a clear breakdown. Viva la republic!
great images
Hello, if you’re interested on a really complicated family tree, you should watch the whole Dark series, it’s on Netflix. The thing is that it involves time travel, and that’s what makes it so complex. I tried to do a family tree of everyone by myself but once you get to the second season it gets straight up nonsense. Consider it a challenge. Love your vids
Thank you so much for this, as this part of our History is not that well known and not very taught at school in France
I LOVE THIS IDEA.
This is a very bloody history of France !
Wow. I knew the French government had a high turnover rate, so to speak, but this is an incredible amount of change for the amount of time
Please do a video on Timeline of European History
Can you make charts for the Native Americans? They would be super great! Thank you for your consideration 😃🙌🏻🙌🏻😃
It's gonna be fun see you explain the mess that is the swedish kings from 970-1523.
Glad you clarified where exactly Les Mis falls here, people remain confused.
"You don't need no stupid Revolution, you got me" Napoleon
So from the chart it looks like after a French Republic falls another Bonapart takes over could we see another bonapart

Could you do korean monarch family tree and who would be king of portugal today?
Can you do the same with catalonia?
Holy shit you just explained a brain-busting topic so easily
Could you please do a Wallenda family tree? That would be so cool!
Louis XVI: oh boy can't wait to rule France until I die of old age
Napoleon I: I'm about to end this man's whole career
you mean La Fayette, Robespierre and other revolutionary demons... Napoleon was not that much involved in state politics until Louis XVI lost his head
Vive la France!
Oui!
@@theredstonesword984 Vive la France!
In what i know napoleon's son just sit on throne for about an hour or minutes then his uncle took it idk if lindsay got it wrong or i just got wrong
Thanks. Honestly, the French Revolutions confuse the shit outta me lol I always mix and match them in my mind.
So basically France is a revolution.
The French Revolution is not a historical event. It’s a type of historical event.
do egyptian phaorohs d 21-25
After the franco-prussian war there is a very important revolte or rebellion called the Commune de Paris.
The French Republic is a major example of when pranks go too far.
What people do not often realize are the demographic aftermaths of those political turmoils. In 1800, France was, by far, the most populated country in western Europe with 30M inhabitants. In 1900, it only reached 40M. Meanwhile, the German population grew from 20M to 60M. France lost its continental dominance because of those revolutions.
I already saw this
what's the difference between a kingdom and an empire?
Who would be the king of Finland?
Nope, Finland is a republic right from it's independence.
Please, make a video about who would be king of Greece today. It would be perfect if you didn’t find out who of othon’s descendants would be king, bout from Alexander the Great or someone really greek king. I know it will be difficult, but please give it a try
I need to research the post man that got stuck by lightning and died carrying ordersfrom the occult that started the whole thing
can you do a video on who would be holy roman emperor today
Could u plz make a chart of america if it was a monarchy
Could you do the House of Grimaldi next?
So the Germans fullfilled the goal of the French Revolution. Great Irony.
Dell asleep@ so sleepy listening to toy -
Basically French people wanted a democratic monarchy, in the English style, but since we had the most stupid royal family of the world, we ended up with a republic (which is based on the election of a republican monarch though 🤣).
this video is misleading to the point it shouldn't belong to a revolutions' series, since it mainly talks about restorations of monarchs. Indicative of this, 3/4 of the fields are about succession lines, and the revolutionaries' factions and names are not considered important enough. I didn't expect differently from someone who claims to have started making charts to follow british successions' lines...
Did you see the queens christmas message for 2018.
Do the Swedish Royal Family tree?
Can you do a family tree of The lord of The rings?
Napoleon should've stayed at Elba, because Idris was there
But We British don't agree with him so we sent him to St Helena!
Can you do the Poland monarchy?
You forgot the two months right after the second republic where France tried out communism (well mostly Paris)
Okay for some reason I remembered it as two years from my history classes but it was only two months lmao. You tried French comune
Can you make Icelandic Monarchy tree?
Iceland never had Its own monarchy. It was in a personal union with Denmark during the interwar period
A little disappointed with this chart. It is called "Timeline of French Revolutions" but the main info is about monarchs, nothing is said about the revolutionary institutions or movements like clubs, assemblies, communes, and the main leaders. I'd suggest another title: "Timeline of French Monarchs during the Age of Revolutions". Also, it would be nice to include the Paris Commune of 1871.
I thought Charles de Gaulle was retired when the fifth republic was formed and he just called for the end of the fourth republic and oversaw the creation of the fifth.
(Retired as in he didn't have a government position)
Charles de Gaulle was indeed kind of retired at the end of the 4th Republic but he came back into power and became the 1st president of the 5th Republic.
this excludes the commune...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
DNA Y-E1
Weird flex but ok
Now France is a confederate state of the EU with not much more to say than Malta.
nope
The Paris commune?
And who would be ruler
I thought it just went Louis XVI, Napolean, Napolean 2 and 3, Republic.
Good game of thrones story
I definitely agree. My dream is to produce an HBO show about the 1789 French revolution.
actuallly louis xix did become king but for 20 minutes
