Average Citizen: "Oh no...this bread is really expensive..I dont know how Im going to feed my family with this..."
Robespierre: "DID I JUST HEAR THAT YOU WANNA GO TO THE GUILLOTINE!?"
Yet nearly the only one who cared about people's bread was Robespierre himself
like always, it considerately exagerates Robespierre's personnel power and responsabilities : Robespierre was just one member among twelve, of the Committee of Public Safety, in theory the government of revolutionnary France, but who had his power limited by the Committee of General Security, that was the police department. Both of the committees had to answer for their actions to the National Convention (the parliament) every week, and each member had to get confirmed by the National Convention each month to keep his position.
Robespierre was not a dictator, as he had too little personnal power : he had no personnal armed troops, no political party at his orders, and no bureaucracy either : all of his decisions had to be approved by the 11 other members of the Committee, so none of the decisions he made, or the death sentences he signed, were personnal delusions

It took the execution of a group of nuns who wouldn’t renounce their vows to finally get the citizens to realize it had gone to far
Yeah, Infographics, were the Carmelite sisters who were kicked out of their convent the part of the "Church" that oppressed and killed people?
I'll answer it for you. No, they weren't.
Not really, it was more likely the thermidoriens who accused Robespierre of killing jacobin and radical members such as Danton which eventually led to the fall of Robespierre… and despite what the propaganda tells us, the thermidoriens weren’t moderated but during the 9th thermidor, they started being moderate… but even after the death of Robespierre, the gu*llotine was more used
what event? nuns?
@@galatheumbreon6862Thanks for asking. The Jacobian fanatics of the French Revolution considered “religious life” as a destructive kind of theft of resources from the peasants. Many (especially Catholic) members of the French clergy were beheaded.
At almost the end of the Reign of Terror, 16 members of Carmelite Nuns and novitiates were brought to the Guillotine and murdered.
The French Revolution is a stunning example of hatred against religion by atheists, and where it can lead. Communism was to follow the same path, in numerous Countries.
Atheists “prefer” to ignore roots of attacks on religious people over the centuries. Atheists always “insist” that religion “causes” religious violence.
But atheists always ignore the opposite.

It’s nice when the government has a nice healthy fear of its populace. Every now and then it seems every government has had to be reminded of that.

00:09 I love your show, but you made a painful mistake here. "Hotel de Ville" means/is a town hall, it's not a hotel.
Just recently finished reading INNOCENT/INNOCENT ROGUE and this video is a good supplemental information for that manga. Poor Charles-Henri that was a lot of executions.
Terror begats terror, not virtue and liberty.

Does it? Got a link for that?
@@gabrielkawa3477 you need a link to comprehend that any government forcing citizens to show paperwork before entering public spaces, is a bad thing?
not really cuz robespierre was the one who created the motto of LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ
and when the mobs rebelled against the revolutionary governement, robespierre supported the mob and the people meanwhile he despised the senators and deputies who were INSIDE of the republican governement...
Literally he purged a lot of them in order to avoid a potential dictator to take over the republic...
any potential enemy of freedom was then purged...
sympathizing with a monarchist was enough proof to be send to the gu*llotine
Robespierre even said that the side who talks about freedom is his side, no matter if that side is right or not
No, they are not the same, you Just throw everything togheter to feel justified in what you do, without backing anything up, having said that you haven't proven anything
@@revolutionariesoffreedom2374 Not very substantive when you're flinging thousands of people into prisons for their opinions in the name of freedom, in my view.. I have a wacky theory that if you leave people alone when they wish to be left alone then they have a better chance of being free.

Progression is never solely built on violence.
The wheel of the plow might require blood and sweat to keep it running, but it is unconscionable to drive it relentlessly over bones for the sake of moral expediency.
Robespierre had a wound from a possible self inflicted gunshot attempt or one done done to him as he tried to struggle with a guard.. whatever the case he screamed in pain as the bandage was ripped from his face as he was led to tbe blade.He flew way to close to the Sun. I cannot imagine the fear and chaos during those days..
Saw the title and instantly thought "Robespierre"
To the guillotine!
You do realize that the Hotel de Ville was not a hotel... as in Hilton, Marriott, etc. It is the City Hall of Paris. The graphic of the hotel was a bit off but amusing.

*THERE'S A TAX FOR THAT!!!*
Thank you for making this video 👍
This is what happened in both the Soviet Union and Iran in 1917 and 1979. Louis XVI and Marie Antoninette were guillotined. It's also used as a plot device in the first three books Honor Harrington series.

Wonder what Francë Will do during this revolucion thats coming in a few months
Genuinely the best channel on UA-cam
Hotel d'ville is French for City Hall, it's not a hotel.
cause it was the “reign of TERROR”
This is so chilling these days
The moral of the story is to avoid extremes, saying what you think, and become rich or die trying.
This is what life is about, get as rich as you can and live your best life.
Fun side fact: Robespierre guest-starred as a William Hartnell era Dr. Who enemy.
How does he post 2 really good quality videos a day
Robespierre was nothing if not *seriously* messed up in the head.
Random person : I do not agree with the citizen Robespierre
Robespierre : so you have chosen Gu*llotine then!
why is guillotine censored. also "not agreeing with robespierre" was not a guillotinable offense or else fouche and tallien would have died much sooner, making everyone's lives much more toloerable.
Robespierre tried to shoot himself when he was captured, but ended up breaking his jaw. Allegedly, someone ripped off the bandage holding his jaw in place right before the blade fell, so he died screaming.
This enrage Robespierre who killed him severely

Must've been a truly horrific time.
Well ok, but with a name like “The Reign of Terror” it’s not like they could have just stopped at the regular number of deaths.
Is the queen from Alice in wonderland books inspired by Robespierre? “OFF WITH THE HEAD”
Its not "genocide" its a "gamer moment"

dnskskskkak alright as a french revolution nerd who specializes in the terror i’ll provide my thoughts on this
likes
1 - thanks for mentioning people such as danton, desmoulins, hébert, and other groups that were purged by the committee. it is often that these revolutionaries are not mentioned by name, their stories not told, and it was good to see it.
2 - thanks for also mentioning that robespierre wanted to save desmoulins, him and camille were friends in school and their whole relationship is just interesting to study, and most people tend to leave out the important fact you kept in.
3 - the robespierre stuff was handled in a better matter than most youtube channels, where they make him guillotine crazy. this is not true, of course, he did defend bloodshed but not the way that thermidorians (people who took over after robespierre, saint-just, and co died) portrayed it to be.
dislikes
1 - i didn’t like how you didn’t give a brief overview of the revolution facts beforehand, as well as policies on terror before the reign of terror began, as it would have set the scene for the video. that is formatting choice, however, and not my decision.
2 - you made an error with the founding of the committee of public safety, which was on april 6, 1793, and not the date of the storming of the bastille. this was probably just a technical error, though.
3 - there’s some thermidorian propaganda definitely visible but i don’t blame you, it’s been inflicted on 99% of the population.
honestly, this video is probably one of the better ones on youtube, better than oversimplified and some others i’ve watched. good job
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Very good and informative.
"Left wing politics and a progressive outlook became kind of a dictatorship."
No truer words can be spoken.
There has been countries that had far right wing dictatorship like germany. I think the problem is extremism.
that's why we have left wing anarchism. hard to form a dictatorship with no government.
@spoon the problem is definitely extremism. It's dangerous for any party.
why didn't they think of printing their own cards and save themselves?
Reign of Terror?
Are we talking HHH's WWE run or Double J's TNA run?
Okay infographics, but you also forgot to include that Robespierre was the 1700s guy with glasses meme....Am I the only one who missed that at the time?
He was also below average height for the time.
Which is worse,
The French Reign of Terror, or Twitter
Twitter. The guillotine is a much quicker death even if you survive a few seconds after your head comes off.
That moment you realized the C.O.P.S Acronym
Committee Of Public Safety.
Don't get what you're trying to say
Actually the acronym was CSP- for comite du salut publique, the french name.
