Ahh yes, 1800s France, where there are so many rebellions they had to start identifying them by the month instead of the year! Also, "Do you hear the people sing?" If you want to be inspired, "Empty chairs at empty tables" if you wanna feel all the sad feels.
Marie Antoinette was awesome. The way her reputation has been trashed for three hundred years should be a lesson as to why it's important to correct the historical record before it gets "written by the victors".
Bourgeoisie in this context has no Marxist connotations. It has the same etymology as burger meaning someone who lives in a town (burg). It’s more townie then opulence
It kind of has Marxist connotations in the sense that Marx thought that modern capitalism has its roots in those early bourgeoisie. Shop owners who owned their own tools.
I've even heard the quote "Let them eat cake" misattributed to the Pastry War between Mexico and France in the late 1830's, after Mexican police destroyed a French bakery just outside Mexico City. The worst thing is that who claimed that it was said by Empress Charlotte of the Second Mexican Empire, though that is entirely anachronistic as she wouldn't even arrive to the country until the 1860's and she wasn't even French!
Another successfully entertaining episode by Mr. Dodd. Pronunciation aside, can we agree that there is some great information in there; and that the wallpaper is just fun?!😂 Good job Justin! 🙂 Keep it up.
It's been some time since I studied French history in any detail, but for some bizarre reason I had it in my head that the French Revolution, Napoleon, all of that... happened about a hundred years later than it actually did. I blame that in part on American schooling but also... my own ignorance. Oops. Time to do some reading. Thanks for this great video!
Also, my favorite song in Les Mis is anytime they sing the words "Two Four Six Oh One." It just hits me so hard! The idea of being reduced to a number, and the passion and edge with which they sing it... amazing.

Hi, nice work :) you are perfect with la Bastille and Marie Antoinette, but for the guillotine part, you have to add something to be completly right : the doctor Guillotin did not create the guillotine etc, but he also did not name it or ask for it. Actually : during fews parlements session, he was outraged by some journalists, (those journalists usually came to session with alcohol, doing noises, and blocking debates). Guillotin, as « secretaire de séance » asked them many times to be quiet and to stop bringing women or alcohol, and he had to make them leave the room during a session. As a revenge, thoses journalists name the machine by his name. At the very begining, it was only kind of a joke to annoy him but many politicians, others journalists and lobbyists found that the idea of shaming this man was a good one and repeat and repeat until it became famous. he suffered this naming and did everything he could to change it but it was too late and he left politic and Paris partly because of this story.

Video is confusing. Says it is regarding misconceptions about the French Revolution but seems to really be misconceptions about the musical Les Miserables, which tells me this isn’t a history documentary but rather an entertainment documentary about a musical.

Thank you. That was one of the better historical summaries I've watched on this topic. The faint background music was distracting though and added nothing of value to the production.
The country with the most battles won is France with 1,115, followed by Britain with 1,105 and the United States 833. Considering the french as surrenderer only because of WWII is pretty much like considering the U.S. as an eternal looser beaucoup of Vietnam ... You really should open some history books.

Victor Hugo did in fact write a novel set in the French Revolution, called 93. I haven't read it but by all accounts its rather good
I'm assuming it's still exceedingly "paid by the number of pages produced" long-winded?
Mine is The Confrontation. It makes me giggle every time I hear: "You know nothing of Javert!"

My fave Les Mis song is "The Bishop".
Underrated!
I haven't seen Les Misérables yet, but there is something about it that makes me want too. lol

Favorite Les Mis song. A tie between I dreamed a Dream and On My Own.
Master of the house is my fav
You couldn't find a Liberty cap for this lol, and the Bastille had only 7 people when they raided it one was Marques De Sade
One of the biggest misconceptions was that it was a good thing.
I don't have a favourite Les Miserables song, but I do believe the best version of the story is the one brought by The Animaniacs, Les Miseranimals.

One Day More!
The propensity of the French to rebel and revolt means you kinda have to be more specific when talking about a "French Revolution".
rebelle
funny to hear about the real Bastille and compare it to places im incredibly familllar with, like Dark Souls 2's Lost Bastille
You got the picture of the wrong Marie Therese, that's the HREmpress
good!
I currently have no misconceptions about the French revolution. Mainly because I have zero conceptions about
the French revolution.
Great episode as always. LOVE your wallpaper.

Shoot me, but I really don't like Les Mis. Nice shout out to Halifax though.
The July 14th holiday does not commemorate the events of 1789 but rather 1790, when Louis XVI became king of the French rather than king of France.
I love french fries 🍟

You'd find most of these misconceptions come from Americans or Brits who hardly paid attention in their history classes.
Canadians too. Our history books are ‘inventive’

Pleasssse, next time, get some pronunciation tips first...

I heard that during the French Revolution it was immediately a draw because both sides surrendered simultaneously.
The country with the most battles won is France with 1,115, followed by Britain with 1,105 and the United States 833.
