Alt Timeline: "French Revolutionaires doesn't believe their leadership is good enough, supports the Monarchy instead" 🤡
looks awkwardly at Napoleon in our timeline.
Also... like... the Reign of Terror. Maybe some of the French Revolutionaries should have given more thought to their own leadership. How historically ignorant is this moderately well upvoted analogy?
Actually, I'm wondering if it was an intentional joke - but I went through the US school system through college and most of what I learned about Napoleon came from Total War and the history channel. (And later on through Oversimplified which is actually extremely careful and detailed about their information and then by going to the dude's fucking tomb and reading shit)
My vague recollection is that the French Revolution was briefly touched on as part of US history Ala "Look, these French people helped us out and built a Republic modeled after ours (false) and then they sent us a shiny statue because Yum, Democracy So Good." But I also struggled with ADHD in school so my memory isn't super reliable.
Americans with hardons for the founding fathers rarely talk about France's involvement because pretty much all the founding fathers took their time in France to get lit af and pound some strange on the nascent Republics bill which doesn't really fit (along with Deism) in the WASPy version of American history.
