What caused the French Revolution? - Tom Mullaney 

Rem For The Win It really is. I didn't know a word in the video but I got it because of the animation hahaa

You don't know a word in this video yet you are still able to write a perfectly grammatically correct comment. Weird.

NKD It's because vocabulary is something you have to expand, principally when it's not your native language... And it's a gradual process ajahaha So I really don't know all the words and expressions

Bia Menezes Not again...

Yes! It is also much more interesting and intense.

Leandro FSM Oh yes! I remember learning about it by this tv show!

It was 1792 because that’s when the monarchy ended but in 1793 he was executed... wrong facts! but funny facts is actually true because person recognized them by coins and dollars

Which shows that by not insisting on privacy (of the rulers, on public notes/coins/etc.), but transparency, the bad guys can be captured easier. The current system of encouraging privacy is encouraging corruption. Be open if you are clean. Honest friendship encourages transparency.

They weren’t beheading as a result of that

Hi! I am her 12 year old daughter and here is something else France is very old. It is 1600 years old, or just over 1000, or almost 600, or about 400 or just over 200. It totally depends over how you count.

yes, definitely do a Chinese Revolution.

Chinese revolution is real complicated because it was going on during WW2

Russian revolution!!!

Depends which revolution you refer to, there was many revolutions from the overthrow of the Qing dynasty in 1911/1912 to the Communist victory in 1950 and the Warlord era in between. The whole period would make a good video though.

Mexican revolution also it's interesting, a lot of people died in that war

Thankyou.

@@austinhidden2888 They supported and sympathized with 3rd estate before revolution started thus before bloody mess that it turned into

Good point professor. Its sad to see how all big journalism names like to say that everything religion was bad without ever actually studying the texts or historical facts. There were alot of good people too

It always comes down to economics at the root…

Lets hope that some of thos nobles and clergy did Land under the gilotine

Also, the second republic was from 1848-1851. It was the third republic that began in 1871.

And the Church partially supported the Third Estate. The peasants weren't alone when the King ordered to dissolve the "Estates General".

TED-Ed still, excellent video, as usual!

Le mierde!!!! Off with your heads....... for making such an error!!!

Nothingman76 Oui, putain de merde !!!

Teal'c Everything is educational, you learn how to do certain actions. But learning how to slaughter Frenchmen using e.g. a controller does not contribute to society and is not a skill that is useful to have apart from playing games. A big complication for video games, movies and shows usually is that their information isn’t reliable. Thus you can learn the wrong stuff, but if you check the facts later on, then it has motivated you to learn about the specific topic

@@Tim-K. i feel assassin's creed does teach a lot though. you learn about the architecture, the way people dressed, etc. we learn a lot through our eyes, and assassin's creed is amazing in that regard

troglodyto I know we learn stuff better when we actually see it happen, but the important aspects of the French Revolution are most likely altered in this game and the game is probably not very focused on these important facts. Like movies, there they change facts to make it more exciting

troglodyto The best method to learn is watching documentaries and educational videos, but you have to be motivated enough to learn in your free time...

Ewemiz Insigne Lafayette has been important during the Revolution, he was the first general of the national guard, he took part in the writting of the Declaration of the Human Rights and he has done many things after the Revolution, he almost became president but he eventually refused

@Unfinished Userna Yeah, but Bob helped create a company that employs 2 million people, and provides products and services for an untold millions more. He is feeding those 2 million people and their families along with everyone those people do business with.

Bruh what a scam

Except the persecution of the church

@@Aceshot-uu7yxThey can’t include all the details in a video that’s less than 10 min of content.

@@josephrusso4828 true, but that was one of the major reasons the first revolution lost support and napoleon was able to rise. That persecution led to the catholic majority, vast majority at that, no longer being able to turn a blind eye to the atrocities and allowed the displaced church leaders to regain a foothold. Couple that with the religious tolerance napoleon instituted for social control to keep that majority happy and boom, we have the first republic down. It was a major reason for its fall and to cut it, not even mentioning it, is quite annoying. It skips over a group that suffered and how those people responded to it. You don't even have to include the revolutionaries who were executed for trying to lessen the persecution. You can just mention they were and how that led to the empire. 30 seconds to discuss one of, if not the main cause as far as the overall population could be concerned.

@@Aceshot-uu7yx The reason I hesitate to go into details regarding some of the violent excesses of the French Revolution is that many people oversimplify the events of 1789-1800 by saying: ‘a bunch of terrorists guillotined countless innocents’ Essentially, people hyper-focus on the Reign of Terror and completely ignore the White Terror that came afterwards, as well as the numerous legitimate reasons that the Revolution became necessary in the first place. Sometimes, people don’t even have any ill intent, they just meme-ify a historical time period for the lulz. The problem is that this leads to a shallow understanding of history, to the point of cartoonish naivety.

@Joseph Russo I can understand that, but that fear should not invalidate learning the actual history of this event. Many had good intentions, but that won't invalidate what they did and the importance of who It was done to. The fact is that even if people meme it up all they want, it's better to have the actual history said and not forgotten. Especially when one of those groups was a major, majority, reason an event collapsed. It's like telling the story of America's civil rights movement without mentioning the Nation of Islam. Even if people don't like the person, that doesn't invalidate their involvement and importance. Else, we continued the hate that started the event to begin with.

It's a cute version of the French national anthem composed during the Revolution

Do they teach you about the savior of the Revolution, Napoleon ?

Elizabeth Schuyler eyyyyyy

Jack Kelly eyy

"If they don't have bread, let them eat cake!"

really just how stupid was she, it's hilarious if not pitiful

Vanika Sumbly "However, there is no evidence that Queen Marie-Antoinette ever uttered this phrase. It was first attributed to her by Alphonse Karr in Les Guêpes of March, 1843.[6]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake It was anti-monarchy propaganda decades after her execution.

I get what the equality and liberty means but what does the brotherhood stand for? I like the Brotherhood of what....?

omegasrevenge I thought he was trying to disassociate the phrase with her?

Well, this vid does leave out a lot we can learn from. It makes no mention of the shift from the moderate phase to the radical phase (because the bourgeoise only solved their own problems no the people's problems), or the Directory which was a conservative push back but still technically a republic. HOW Napoleon rose to power because of Directory mismanagement is another critical lesson we should not overlook.

Flare uh, according to the French timescale, Syria didn't even end up yet.

Flare The Revolution was followed by a period called "The Great Terror", and it was unrully.

France was the same as Syria during that time. Change doesn't happen over night. Syria might have it harder as superpowers are using it as a play ground and the dictator might stay in power after the civil war.

France also had lots of enemies: the european monarchies entered in war with the threatening republic.

the reasos for war in syria cannot be accurately compared to french revolution

And it Was written for a Bavarian General

EXACTLY! I mean they were teenagers with so much handle when they took the throne. There is so much dept, secrets, and scandalous stories behind the royal court at Versailles. But Marie and Louis had the mindset of teenagers. They shopped until they dropped!

Mike Blue Yes and sadly that is why they had to be removed, plus with the whole "chosen by god" thing you can't just let royal families live so it was necesary to kill them as their power came from their blood as royals, therefore the lies were just to convince people that idealized royalty of the wrongs in it. Royals might not have been comic villains (and frankly no historic figure should be portrayed as that) but they were no better than dictators.

adolfo manzur they were close to dictators, basically. They were self proclamed aristocrats (meaning "part if the ruling few) it was not a bad word at the time. They did what they could to both try to calm the people and keep their power (like everypne wants to do) and that interesting hopeless struggle to do that is tragically left out to fill the narrative the western world wants. It's sad

adolfo manzur I agree man. They wanted to stay at the top while the people of the country died and struggled to live. I do have a question as well for both of you. I have just started studying French quite recently. The impression that I get from the language is that it is very pretentious. Do you think that when they created the French language that they actually wanted to make a language that sound and looked more beautiful and elaborate than any other language? It also makes me wonder why the royal French court spoke french while the peasants didn't know how to even speak it!

all of crash course videos are excellent

Well at least tedEd compressed their video into 5 mins unlike crash course who unnecessary lengthen their video

So true tho lol

You are right! Louis "XVI" was guillotined before her. However, she was REALLY hated at this time and everyone pretty much wanted her dead. They hated her so much that during the court trial they accused her of having incest with her son with another woman present. Like wtf!

Mike Blue Thanks for the correction. I've been playing too much Civ. :P

William Henning Yea no prob bro! Haha what's CIV??? Is it new?

Mike Blue Civilizations. A strategy game.

William Henning They did say that Marie was executed 'after' Louis XVI was tried.

the word revolution means 'to come around again'

It would be more accurate to say "turn" if we're talking ye olde definitions here.

Mr7Kostas it’s american pronunciations of french words. there’s nothing wrong with that lol

*Mr7Kostas* Why do people expect non-native speakers of a language to pronounce every word in their non-native language perfectly?

Amanda Tessmer well respect probably

fotm07 the pronunciation is wrong if it's a French word pronounce it properly or translate it.

That's like taking an English word and pronuncing it like a French word. Out of respect it should always be said correctly or not said at all.
