  • boring.... =(

  • Is that David Hyde Pierce as Robespierre?

    BTW, lots of parallels with todays world, except replace the Monarchy with Wall Street.

  • Lets face it, if France didn't exist, then the United States of America would either be British or not even exist at all....

    Reasons:

    1. During the French an Indian war, George Washington was a lieutenant an was sent to fight the French at Fort Duquesne, Washington was captured, but then released 1 month later.

    2.The French practically bankrupted themselves to help America fight the British, by sending many soldiers and sending LOTS of French Navy fleets...

    So while you're at it, dont say Shit

  • LOL French revolution is happening todays globally though bankers enslave all people as oligarchy !!! People revolt and eventually blood will be spilled.

  • WTF EW. I didn't know what phimosis was so i googled it and clicked on the wiki link and WTH. I saw something I did not want to see. sakjghahgk WIKI WHY, WHY YOU SCAR ME. lajghdjksahjkhg Q_Q

  • There were NO Evidence that Marie was a vain person. She was rather humble this is all sort of bad rumors createde by other rich french ladies who despised a Austrian lady becoming the Queen.

  • @nikesback They really should of executed the dissenters then made sure the soldiers were paid. Worked for the Roman emperors.

  • Thanks for uploading! This is one of my favourite peiods of time to learn about! I wonder, though, how much of this can I really trust?

  • Very difficult to take academics seriously.. when they have an American accent.

  • @bennythebearful You sir are douche, stop for one minute and contemplate how bigoted and ignorant that statement is. The foundation of academia is objectivity, a characteristic you clearly don't possess.

  • @LBRTRN89

    I think that you require some assistance.

  • according to the history books louis didnt have the surgery, he was too afraid too. the only reason the marriage was consummated is because marie's brother explained the mechanics of making love to louis on a visit to versailles

  • did women in the 18th century just wear dresses where their breasts were completely exposed? weird...

  • who was montesquie???

  • @international4life1 Baron de Montesquieu was French Enlightment thinker who believed in the seperation of government into three branches: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.

  • @RexieTheKing Poor you! :(

  • This Proves that no one in France is safe even the Monarchy, they should've treated there people with respect not diss them by sitting there watching them die one by one, im glad the peasants did something about it, but they shouldn't of killed Queen Marie Antoniette and King Louis XVI

  • i dont want to offend or anything....but the hairstyles remind me of lady gaga o-o was Marie Antoinette the lady gaga of that time period?

  • who else is writing a history essay? :p

  • @tomroylance me

  • the hell is livru at 03:48

  • wow, just change some of the names and it sounds like the last few years. huh.

  • so...deregulation ruins the poor ; no effect on the wealthy

    taxes are raised on the poor, wealthy pay little to none.....

    sounds awfully familiar.

  • @anaihilator

    This was a feudal system. It's different.

  • Pornography on Youtube!

  • @arsviatticae One can never underestimate the predictability of stupidity; example A; this comment; you sir, are a twat.

  • The King of France should've cut social security and universal health care...oh wait, that's what the GOP are doing today...and we have WALL ST. PROTESTS...hmmm...Im starting to see parallels here...i hope heads don't roll...no one wants to see it come to that....

  • @dalecampbl6 exactly what ive been thinking, lately.

  • @anaihilator hey there...I see you are an opera fan? Sweet, so am I. I guess my love for the whole history of the French Revolution was inspired by the story of Beethoven ripping apart his Eroica symphony dedication to Napoleon once Napoleon crowned himself emperor instead of carrying out the initial enlightenment ideas of the French Revolution.

  • Republicans hate "reason and science"...holy crap...time to go French Revolution on their asses

  • THE SAME SITUATION IS HAPPENING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

  • @kill60061e hahahaha...you beat me to it!! =)

  • LOL the kings wiener was messed up. that wont go well for the bloodline!!!

  • "the king hardly notices him" well that was rude

  • deregulation? burdening the poor with taxes while the nobles pay hardly anything? damn this shit sounds familiar

  • "ill teach you to ignore me you son of a bitch" lol

  • and now the American Empire is bankrupt...

  • Not the most important point, I know, but the programme fails to mention that all those pictures of hairstyles were caricatures.

  • i love history :D

  • Where the people truly fought in noble fashion, was against Robespierre's "Reign of Terror" aka (faux) "revolution". There was much to be resolved, yet the clarity to do so, would wait over 200 years to arrive.

  • The French people had been swindled by "The Reign of Terror". Once the smoke cleared, France had no choice but to embrace Napoleon in hopes that good would come from it for it was too late, what was done was done. Those who believed all of the lies, sealed the fate of France. It was the final act of "acceptance", that smoothed things over to a place where the tabloids and propaganda and lies could now seem believable as "history" and it was thus recorded that way. But in fact it was inaccurate.

  • @StarQualityWins dude fuck you, are you ever going to stop trolling this video?

  • 7:13 Kyaaa search for phimosis and be affraid

  • 5:03 just like what is happening in North Korea. The Kim dynasty live like kings, spend billions on soldiers, nukes, expensive food and luxury wile the country is is in economic collapse, the whole population is starving and living in poor conditions

  • 4:45 WOOOOW You gotta be kidding me :O

  • i hate poletic and money corrupts evry singel thing 

  • In 18th century French monarchy & aristocracy were corrupt, inept, decadent & oppressive. 5% of the pop. controlled 95% of wealth. Peasants had no chance to improve their lives. Revolution was only matter of time. However govt that replaced monarchy was almost as bad & set up a nearly totalitarian regime.

  • Once Napoleon destroyed all French records as well as many records in invaded countries that opposed his version of how "history" should be told, so as to justify his actions and hide his crimes, we were left with only his propaganda and tabloid tales coined into a faux historical account. There was nothing else on the surface to go by. There'd been too much chaos, confusion and wild stories with lack of witnesses during the 1789 riots for many to cite certainty in their understanding of events

  • Riots were incited by Marat's tabloids lies and by Robespierre's speeches manipilating anger; He too was lying. The people were lead astray. The faux 'national assembly' prevented the people from perceiving positive changes at the hand of the Sovereign and instead, worked to black-list all Royalty and nobles with lies. Their intention was to take France over from the inside by utilizing the people. Marie Antoinette was stylish, graceful and kind. Lies invented a false illusion of her presence.

  • LOL The locksmith is having a hard time finding the key hole!!!! I need to look up those songs!

  • Marie Antoinette is the old school Lady Gaga!

  • Imagine seeing the part where they're talking about pornographic images while in world history class, lets just say my entire class was like "Whoa what the hell!" not to mention it was severely awkward. Lol

  • 8:06 Is that gay porn?

  • This documentary is based on a skewed, slanted view of things. Many variables have to be perceived a particular way in order to support this view of history. This is called a 'set up'. If one chooses to call false accounts of history 'conspiracies', then there is definitely a conspiracy concealing the truth of what occurred in 1789 France. Missing chunks of information aren't accounted for. Where are the records of French negotiations and close relations with the USA that lasted from 1776-1789?

  • @StarQualityWins So what view, exactly, do you think this documentary is trying to portray?

  • @StarQualityWins this is exactly what they are teaching me in school.

  • @StarQualityWins I'm pretty sure that french foreign affairs during the 18th century are not very important in the history of the french revolution and all history is biased and can be interpreted what ever way you want

  • @StarQualityWins im writing an essay on French Revolution and part of my references are from these 9 videos on French Revolution. You're saying that this documentary is based on a SKEWED and SLANTED view of things, does that mean that I can't fully rely on everything this documentary says when I'm writing my essay?

  • @StarQualityWins

    What complete and utter rubbish. Take the doco for what it is rather than make vapid comments that assume we are all stupid and that you are the repository of all knowledge. Why should we believe you over what we see here? Fuck off and mind your own business!

  • Marie is just like one of my friends... fashion obbsesed!

  • :) Thankz this is really helping me with my S.S project!

  • @mason123456789zaq Sorry that was me I was on my bros account

  • Wait a second...membership in the Catholic clergy was determined by birth? That must have lasted one generation.

  • Louis XVI with Marie Antoinette and newly formed Parliament, were working on transforming France into a Constitutional Monnarchy. They commissioned the new flag themselves. Louis wrote the French Constitution of his own free will. His goal was to modernize France and remove the Church from Government. After working closely with America for 12 years and helping them win their Revolution, France was indeed, inspired to follow suit. The French American territories were already in compliance w/USA.

  • Wow...He didn't fuck a gorgeous Austrian princess, even though he had the whole situation just laid out for him... literally. What a tool ;_;

  • @TheHouseoftheVoid didnt you see the vid? he couldnt do it. he needed surgery to do it.

  • @SuperMisaMisaAmane

    Wrote comment b4 watching video. My mistake :)

  • @killamoss81 you are advising everyone here to go and get a life because they stop and watch a documentary??? I am sure everyone will manage to get a life; I am less sure about you.

  • @selecto16 what a smart answer you gave to that nuts!!!

  • @killamoss81 I don't understand why your history teacher would tell you to watch a youtube video. Secondly, you don't seem the type to watch somethng because you're "suppose" to for a history lesson. My best bet is that you're interested in history but you're so pre-occupied with not being 'nerdy' that you're inventing a reason for watching this documentary that would mean you were doing it involuntarily. Give up. Embrace history.

  • @killamoss81 Spending time to tell people to "get a life" on youtube. You, sir, are a disgrace to trolls everywhere.

  • @killamoss81 keep doing as you are told young "killa" heehe......

  • @killamoss81 You are so right! You should definitely teach us how to live, make friends and listen to music! Who needs knowledge? I'm sure if we all take your advice we'll have a wonderfully successful life. Do you think because some of us are actually interested in the French Revolution that we don't have a life? We watch this to further our knowledge. It's actually quite funny how immature you are...

  • @killamoss81 Nobody asked your opinion

  • @killamoss81 HOW TOTALLY BARBARIC 

  • @killamoss81 you're a waste of valuable organs

  • @killamoss81 Dude, Its generall education! Ever heard of it?

  • @killamoss81 whos to say that isnt why its up. For people that need this info

  • @killamoss81 itz not nerd stuff you idiot. wat do you do smoke pot  and do nothing all day ?

  • @killamoss81 It is the great French Revolution, this is great history.

  • @killamoss81 LOLOL!

  • @killamoss81 you're telling us to get a life when you're the one going to this video just to mock people....my friend I think you're the one who needs a life

  • @killamoss81 Nerds? I like music I hang out with my friends, play football, baseball, and Ice hockey and I still think that this stuff is intresting. So you get a life and learn something for once.

  • @killamoss81 Nerds? I like music I hang out with my friends, play football, baseball, and Ice hockey and I still think that this stuff is intresting. So you get a life and learn something for once. Who besides an arrogant little teenager prick would make a comment like that?

  • @ksj6016 my friend you are a major hypocrite coming to this site just to randomly mock at others, so really your the one that needs a life

  • @killamoss81 You're a stupid cunt.

  • @Maneater1984 no need for that language , I'm a history teacher and am showing my students this video and do not appreciate my students exposed to this disgusting language.

  • @xXMegaCreationXx your profile says otherwise. Get fucked.

  • @Maneater1984 hahaha yeah well shush up cuz my history teahcers fuckin raging

  • @killamoss81 wow what a bummer. biggest douchebag i've met so far in youtube. you seem worse than any of these "losers". go and be a dumbass throughout your life. in the end a girl wants a smart man that can support a family not a dumbass douchebag like you.

  • @killamoss81 people like shouldn't breed. We have enough stupid people filling up the planet as it is

  • Maximilian Robespierre is played by the Romanian Actor George Ivascu

  • @killamoss81 if u say this could be wrong b/c is second hand info , then why u watch it? why dont u get a life and start learning and stop criticizing people who just want to learn and let them be in peace.

  • @killamoss81 dumbass alert!

  • @killamoss81 those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

  • @killamoss81 Twat

    

  • @killamoss81 you are soooo retarted. People who are watching this are actually smarter than you can ever hope to be. I feel very so for you, I hope you won't teach your future kids - brats - to be as dumb as you when you're living off Wellfare.

  • @killamoss81 Good for you. Nerds are the ones who are successful in life. You will most likely end up working for one.

  • the king is a simpleton!

  • You can say all you want about the kings intentions, but it doesn't change the basic reality at that time in France. People were suffering, either because of the food price or due to a feudal system that treated them as second class citizens, less even, slaves.

    The bread price is what makes or breaks a revolution. The royals were personally responsible for the malaise (decadence and the wars they waged on other nations) and failed to act adequately.

    For that they suffered the consequences.

  • @lurconis666 There was debt, there was grain shortage caused by crop failures, taxes were raised slightly, a lot of focus had been spent on America: This much is true. The rest was the exaggerated slander in tabloids, designed to create hysteria, to make things seem far worse than they were. Louis, if anything, was accused of not being aggressive enough. W/o getting the people brainwashed and furiously on their side, Robespierre and the other renegades didn't stand a chance with their take-over.

  • @lurconis666 I beileve the problem was mainly the debt at the debt's height 1/2 of the 3rd estate's taxes was going to pay the debts but they were very big. Now because of the high price of bread the goverment's lack of money because of its price to the American Revolution in which France put so much money to it, but did not have any money to help its people. It is possible this could have been blammed on Louis XVI's predecesors. The feudal system is ok it has been aroun for years it was issues.

  • What hair was great^^

  • this is SO interesting! History is fucking awesome!

  • No Napoleon never wrote a constitution. Which constitution is referred to? 1991, 93, 98, VIII? Napoleon instituted the civil code, which was a combination of three Germanic codes. So no, he did not write them, he adapted them. It did reflect how he thought. People with talent would rise. Napoleon was into order. He believed in rising by talent, but did not concern himself with individual rights. He viewed a nation as an army. Effective generals trump birth rights. Most powerful rules.

  • how can the king commit so much money to the american war ? when his people are starving. All governments need to stay out of foreign wars. You just end up bankrupt.

    On a side note; War is seems more expensive than a monarchy. Maybe a french monarchy would still be around.

  • This video probably has the most intelligent comments I've read, no trolls come anywhere near knowledge and reason.

  • @Bshow1212 If only all youtubers could behave this way.

  • Von Fersen banged her hahahaha

  • @silverflamestudios  LOL ya

  • omg, marie antonette was compared to Imelda Marcos during her days our former First lady huh. i didn't know Mrs. Marcos was so famous all over the world :)

  • 8:03 an illistration from one of Marquis De Sade's novels. He wrote novels that depicted the aristocrats as doing nothing but raping killing getting drunk and having orgies. The word "Sadism" comes from De Sade's name simply because of the extreme violence cruelty and sexual torture in his books.

  • What about a world revalution?

  • @xxprincessxrosaliexx it proves nothing at all.

  • @bosnia91 yes it does, it proves you dont deserve respect

  • why hi didnt fuck the queen what a looser

  • The French Revolution tried to do what the American Revolution did do. We can thank George Washington for refusing kingship.

  • Why get angry of their lifestyles ? I mean...they had the devine right to rule and life like that, the dutch monarchy nowaday costs €130.000,00 per year....we dont complain

  • @iSteven00 yeah but you guys aren't starving to death

  • LOLLL

  • Scared to death to have surgery.....understandable considering that surgery was done w/ a bottle of scotch and a rusty saw.

  • heh louis was like bitch get off me

  • I didn't want any of them executed just off the throne but when I found out Marie Antoinette wanted to join with Austria to retake power it made me angry, what did she wanted the power back for?? to keep leeching the poor people of France I support democracy and she looked for it by trying to fight back the poor people of France, I feel no pitty for her beheading, all is fair in love and war...

  • @xhappyxlifex Wrong! Do you really believe that Napoleon wrote the French Constitution? He didn't think or work that way. Louis August did. France supported the Americans and really didn't have to worry because the investment would pay off. Marie wanted her brother to jump on board with supporting America and democratic progress. The people fucked up. Napoleon was not better. His type is the type you run out!! Not Marie Antoinette. How dare people try to control her soul without just cause.

  • @StarQualityWins but remeber Louis XIV helped the americans, Loius 16th however was so unsure of himself that he thought having a party would make everything better. BTW Since when did Napoleone write the French Constitution????? Napoleone was in no means better, in reality he made everything worse. Yes he was a great leader stragetically but just like the previous rulers before him he also got to a point where the people hated even him. Stop blaming Marie for everything this one was all Louise!

  • @countrywillneverdie You completely misinterpreted my statement. By no means do I support nor believe Napoleon in any way, shape, form. I blame him for all. I praise Marie Antoinette and recognize that Louis XVI did write the French Constitution. 1776, Louis' grandfather dead; Louis with Marie both supported the Americans for no other reason other than genuine support of their cause, and cooperation in pertaining to American law within French American states. For France, Constitutional Monarchy.

  • @countrywillneverdie Their plans were sabotaged by opportunists who lead the people astray, served as a barrier between people and Sovereign, then used the people to run out the Monarchy, thus taking credit for, and stealing the plans of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The tabloid slander campaign was all lies designed to infuriate the people. Riots were incited, not begun by people themselves. People were misinformed. For every $100 of democracy Louis would bring in, Robespierre brought in 15.

  • @StarQualityWins You seem to know much about the French Revolution and what truly happened. Can you recommend any good books on it?

  • Comment removed

  • This documentary is BS!. So many repeated lies in all thses documentaries. I wonder if it is produced by BBC? Wouldn't surprise me, sociaslist anti monarchist fasists!

  • @Pugwash81 how is a socialist fascist possible. those are two opposites. one's extremely liberal and one's extremely conservative. but idk this seems pretty informative.

  • @chillaxer1993 Nothing is impossible, depending on who rights it!

  • @chillaxer1993

    Actually there is such a combo. National Socialism/Nazism, however the lean was closer towards the National part but the government involved itself w/ the people on a constant basis with government programs

  • Five failed constitutions and now the french have TWO leaders to deal with. Riots, islamification, higher taxes, EU Socialist empire and the french are still shouting Long live the republic??? Seems like the same people who lead the revolution are still running the country. Dellusion brings on every kind of mischief!

  • i bet if louis didnt keep it in his pants and payed more attention to his wife i bet she wouldnt have spent all that money on jewels and dress and i am aware of louis condition

  • lol.. ma dam def is it.. ololloll

  • Watch "French Contribution to USA Independance" by the cajuncutthoart, here on youtube. Without French help, the Americans were in trouble. The war began in 1776. In 1789 Louis penned the first French Constitution. Royalty wasn't forced out until 1792-1793. Napoleon didn't think or function with constitutional rights in mind. This documentary is based on invalid information.

  • Madame Déficit, a bit like the U.S. now, but with the pretense of benevolence.

  • bisexual orgy at 8:03

  • What was said on 6:59 was hilarious.

    "The locksmith was having a hard time finding the keyhole."

    XD

  • ...Ancient porno much? O.O

  • large budget for the epic flashbacks eh?

  • this is some epik shit!!!

  • "the locksmith is having a hard time finding the keyhole" LOL xD

  • @CeciBearx0x0 gotta love their sense of humour lol!

  • Believe it or not, this revolution still inspires people today like myself.

  • Sounds like the French monarchs invented the first Stimulus Package. LOL

  • Ah ah i like the way he pronunciate "Robespierre" , he ate the"b" , iots roBespierre!

    I love so much my country and his history.

    Proud to be french always

  • king louis the 16'th is HOT!

  • @TheVanessu Is that sarcasm?

  • This is what happens when you give absolute power to a retard.

  • @Pyromaniac721 michele obama = marie A lol

  • @Pyromaniac721 He was not a retard ...... such hateful words on someone you never knew.

  • @TheXxPinkPrincess69x why is that?

  • Vive la Révolution! Vive la République!

  • 7:01 HA!

  • He didn't actually have phimosis. His hunting journals do not show any breaks, even though after surgery, he would not have been able to hunt. He just did not know how to perform sexually. Read Wikipedia.

  • @dolphinsneu wikipedia isnt always reliable, sinc eanyone can edit it if they have an account, was there a source from this information that proves it? a legitamite one?

  • @MWM0217 they do give citations at the bottom. He could not have been treated for phimosis and still gone hunting, since phimosis is treated by circumcision, and at that age, being circumcised meant you'd have to spend a few weeks covalesing. It's impossible to sit in a saddle after being circumcised, yet his hunting journals do not show any breaks.
