So it's not a CE. Still, the special about it was on the History Channel.
What a bloody mess. The monarchy was either cruel or plan naive to the plight of the people. The people who led the Revolution, proably turned out to be even worse. Anyone who spoke out...off with their heads. No wonder Napoleon was able to gain power in such a short amount of time.
A few things. Had no idea that King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were the same age, and married at 15 and 14 years old. Also, though Marie was the like the 3rd wife.
Watching the special, you see how well the American Revolution went. Thank your lucky stars that we had Ben Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jeffeson, George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and others as the founding fathers.
