@@aksb2482 there was this issue known as "the royal vetoes". So generally, during the early period of the French Revolution, there was a constitutional monarchy. Power of the Louis XVI was limited, but he received the right to veto any project of reform or change. He was the kind of person who was convinced that he should be an absolute monarch and that his word was the law. So he decided to oppose the revolutionares by vetoing anything passed by them. It was in 1791, I think. This was one of the reason why everyone started to hate him even more, because he vetoed just to show his power And he was under huge influence of his wife
@@BartlomiejDmowski He was a better man than most all of the revolutionaries; he genuinely cared about the people of France, and took his duties seriously. If France could have peacefully transitioned to a constitutional monarcy along UK lines, all would have been much better. Instead, we got the execrable Revolution (may it be ever damned and cursed) with its horrors, massacres, and revolting ideology that laid the foundations for every totalitarian revolutionary ideology to come, spelling uncounted evils for billions of people. Damn the French Revolution.
@@BartlomiejDmowski He didn't veto every law, least of all because he was some uncompromising petty absolutist. He did pass a lot of laws put in his desk by the National Assembly, even ones he disagreed with, but he always opposed the more radical ones (specially the anti-religious ones since he was a very religious person). As time passes and the war with Austria (which he didn't veto btw) worsened, the National Assembly got increasingly radical, demanding more and more radical measures, which the king vetoed. Also Marie Antoinette wasn't this Machiavellian puppeteer of Louis. All the decisions he made were of his own volition.
For context, this song was made back in they midst of the French Revolution (La Révolution Française), and from there on out, became a “hit” in the French Republican Army most notably after the Battle of Jemappes. Madame Veto, being Queen Marie Antoinette of France, threats to cut the revolutionaries' throats in Paris. However, she had failed to do this, and instead got *her* throat cut in Paris, as joked about in the song. Monsieur Veto (King Louis XVI) has vowed to show fidelity to his country, and had too failed after attempting to flee France and conspire against the peasantry. And so, the French showed no mercy, and cut his head. If you want, you can think of the song as a meme back in the 1790’s. It basically mocked the entire French aristocracy, nobility, and royalty.
De conspirer contre la paysannerie ????? Déjà la révolution à inventer des centaines de complots imaginaire tous plus ridicule les uns que les autres, ces complots aussi complotant soit t’il on bien arranger les révolutionnaires pour égorger les femmes et les enfants et crée des massacres de masse dans le but d’exterminer les opposants, pas très démocratiques comme vision de la démocratie, tuer tout se qui sont pas d’accord avec le pouvoir d’état en place sous prétexte d’être des ennemis de la France, tuer tout les gens qui sont pas d’accord avec toi j’appelle pas ça la démocratie libre avec toute les opinions ensemble moi, Jean-Hugues qui sort a 23h, 30 minute après le couvre feux est accuser de comploter avec l’ennemi et contre la Révolution et contre les français oui "les français" tout les français, comme si que se pauvre Jean-Huges n’avait que sa a foutre de comploter en marchant dans la rue pour rentrer chez lui car c’est suspect sous la révolution citoyens.. on se croirait revenus au moyen-âge avec interdiction de sortir la nuit sous menaces de se faire accuser d’espionnage et en 2 3 mouvement retrouver devant un tribunal révolutionnaire qui apporte des preuves de ta culpabilité qu’il "aurait trouver sur toi" avec en moins de 15mn juger et envoyer à la guillotine, pour être un procès rapide c’est rapide ça on peut pas se plaindre de la lenteur du système judiciaire la, sa à permit à la Révolution de nettoyer les villes des potentielles contre-révolutionnaires ennemis ou espions soit disant, comme ça moins d’opposant potentiel ou réelle et tant pis si y’a des Jeans-Huges innocents dans le tas on voit les chiffres nous, sinon pour en revenir à la paysannerie, la Révolution Française est une révolution bourgeoise franchement quelqu’un a vue un seul paysan a l’Assemblée Nationale ou Convention ? La seul Révolution paysanne et populaire en France à étais mené en Vendée par des paysans royalistes pas content de la Révolution,c’est la seul révolution dans l’histoire de la France crée réellement et non imaginairement par des paysans, et on a vue comment les bourgeois de la Convention on tellement de mépris pour se peuple populaire anti-révolutionnaire, cela c’est réglé en Génocide Républicains avec l’extermination systémique de toute vie humains dans une zones précise sur un peuple précis qui avait une religion précise d’après la définition officielle de l’Union Européenne on appelle cela un génocide et rien d’autre, la Révolution monter par des bourgeois fomenter par les Orléans (des nobles donc) on pourrait appeler cela une Fronde et cette même révolution qui extermine et massacre toute vie sur le Territoire Nationale contre ces idées littéralement "Révolutionnaire" et contre les opinions divergentes à la Terreur et au tuerie de masse, en plus de ça elle se paye le luxe de faire un génocide sur le vrai seul peuple et la vrai seul révolution qui est jamais étais populaire en France donc au lieu de parler de "fomentation et complots" contre la bourg..e.. la paysannerie il faudrait mieux savoir de quoi on parle avant se sanctifier des millions de mort de massacre de meurtre d’exécution de massacre de masse et de génocide
Thanks for the explanation, I was going to try to find an explanation of the lyrics and yours is good. I just watched the movie Napoleon and they sing it there. I feel like getting deeper into the backstory of the events in the film.
This song is or rather was used as some kind of nursery song in France. I grew up listening to it, a lot of revolutionary songs were passed on and just sung without the meaning being told to us. I remember my grandparents singing it and me following. I think I'll be last generation.
Anglo nursery rhymes: “Some guy fell off a wall, and, I dunno, a cow jumped over the moon or some shit” French nursery rhymes: “The king wants to slit your throat, so ready the cannons”
@@defaulter264 yeah but the people who fought the revolution who were mostly common peasants and workers who revolted for a better society as their aim but unfortunately bourgeoisies robbed them of that.
@@zurdddtk3025 Robbed? It's just the natural state of affairs, the pyramidical societal classes model is the only natural way. The low classes stay in the bottom, they will never be able to achieve power. There's an essential bottleneck factor when you climb to power.
I love this song from the French Revolution. My favourite version of it is a tie with the version in Assassin's Creed Unity and the one in the 1970 film Waterloo that the people of Paris sing when they welcome Napoleon back at the Tuileries.
Same here, I had to look it up after reading about it, and was immediately unsettled by the juxtaposition between how happily it's sung verses how menacing the lyrics are. Revolutions are weird, man.
I am knowing some variation of this song... in the second "couplet", : " Monsieur Veto avait promis - d'être fidèle à son pays - mais il y a manqué - le Fourbe est encagé ! " ... It is a variant which has been done after the king had just been put under arrest by the Convention (french assembly)... Also, once on twoo, the "refrain" change for "Chantons notre victoire, vive le son, vive le son - Chantons notre victoire, vive le son du canon" ... the "Refrain was partly changed after the Victory of Valmy where the unexperienced french army stunningly defeated the coalised kings army under Prussians leading... but keep up the good work.
American patriotic songs are like: "we're tough and gritty and smart and nice and make good things happen. Look at how pretty our landscapes are. We die for love and defense of our people." French patriotic songs are like: "Slit throats, blood waters the field, blood, gore, violence."
The Declaration of the Man and the Citizen article 2 states: "The aim of every political association is to preserve the imprescriptible and natural rights of man. Those rights are freedom, property, security andthe right to resist oppression" And in the US it's about being happy or something...
Yes, I am very certain that American songs are solely to the glory of the American colonists, and make no allusion to the genocide of the Native American peoples, whom they massacred with great kindness to steal their country, with all these so pretty landscapes...
Yay, 14 July Prise de la Bastille! National day of the French! A small mistake though, 0:29 and also the lyric before it, should be monsieur Veto avait promis and not avais. That is because in French the 3rd person conjugation is different to the rest of the verb sometimes. Because you say monsieur Veto which is 3rd person (he) you should put the according verb form (avait). It's like how in English you put an s in the third person (I play, but he plays).
I don't know much about that march but I'm here because of it was mentioned in Hugo's book called "Les miserables" and to be honest I quite liked it. I have never thought i would comment to any video because of a book yet here I am lol. Victor Hugo effect I would say.
@@martynastencel4831 WoW I wouldn't think there would be someone like me who searches for the Marches from a book. That's cooollll. And i absolutely agree the book is so nice.
Vive la France 🇷🇺🤝🇲🇫 La Russie et la France ont beaucoup en commun. Nos pays sont amis depuis onze siècles. La Russie et la France ont une histoire très riche qui lie nos États par une forte amitié. Nous aimons la France et les Français. La Russie et la France sont deux grands pays. Meilleures salutations de Russie :)

Merci camarade! un jour peut être on aura un gouvernement qui prendra conscience qu'une réelle alliance avec la Russie est la seule façon pour la France de continuer à exister en tant qu'état souverain
Les parties 'Dansons la Carmagnole vive le son, vive le son' et 'Dansons la Carmagnole vive le son du canon' sont particulièrement addictives pour moi 😃🎵🎶🎧👍

you like to think of it as just being what the news say, but it's a history of oppression, while so many other people are too fat and lazy and scared to walk the streets with a torch because the police might confront you@@bob_computer8279
A quel époque ? j'ai 26 ans et jamais dans mon école en tout cas, on avais appris ça, (enfin, on avait la version pour enfant "Dansons la capucine" et c'est tout XD.)
Funfact : Mr Veto was a nickname of king Louis XVI. The 1rst french constitution of 1789 gave him an unlimited veto power... He abused of it, he flee, and was executed, that Mr. Veto traitor❤️.
