The French Revolution: Crash Course World History #29
In which John Green examines the French Revolution, and gets into how and why it differed from the American Revolution. Was it the serial authoritarian regimes? The guillotine? The Reign of Terror? All of this and more contributed to the French Revolution not being quite as revolutionary as it could have been. France endured multiple constitutions, the heads of heads of state literally rolled, and then they ended up with a megalomaniacal little emperor by the name of Napoleon. But how did all of this change the world, and how did it lead to other, more successful revolutions around the world? Watch this video and find out. Spoiler alert: Marie Antoinette never said, "Let them eat cake." Sorry.

My biggest take away from the "host," is that mob rule is more "revolutionary" than equitable rights for all. And your history teacher sounds like a typical lib who is encouraging the rewriting of history.

I believed that I only thought john talked fast because it's not my first language. But seeing Native speaker complaining about the speed too reassure me

Do you have any videos on Romanticism and that time period?

this actually helps. when you slow it down, even slowed down, you have to replay it over and over so it gets stuck in your head.
