Lafayette and the french revolution.

Washington

Lafayette, right?

more lafayette

“Yes.”

Dadshington

@@Mimi_Innit *Cue that would be enough*

Benedict Arnold? Who's that guy?

got them to turn around

Maybe eventually but I need a break from Gilbert for a while

More Lafayette please!

​@@DrawnofHistoryWhy even ask if you aren't going to do it? Pathetic.

@@Troglodytarum seriously give this dude a break

*He did tell his Son to shoot to the sky(In the Musical, it was Angelica’s husband historically.) and did the same thing leaving his wife heartbroken.*

Damn

Bolivar would be a great topic for this series

Bolivar for sure

Meanwhile, Lafayette (and France) is going broke

Still a very good show!!

Let's see the response to this. That said, I'm giving myself the weekend to appreciate the completion of this project and then straight to the next one. If I can pull it off, look for it in mid-April.

And I stand behind my statement!

@@DrawnofHistory I'm so glad I recently discovered your channel! Some of the best writing I've seen for animated comedy in a while! The history is cool, too!

Though since the is a good degree of similarities between myself and Oversimplified, I am at least now trying to do topics that he hasn't already done.

@@DrawnofHistory Ah! I should have thought of that. How about the Crimean war then? Or maybe the opium wars? Or, tieing into American history more, a one shot on the first Barbary war.

@@DrawnofHistory To be fair, doing a video series on Lafayette would be different from what Oversimplified did. Lafayette had a very strange turn of events happen to him during his time in Revolutionary France and it'd be amazing to see his interactions with a bitter Napoleon.

Late roman imperial history is slept on a lot I feel like, some great events/stories you could do: the 5 good emperors, the story of the Tetrarchy (Diocletian to Constantine) or the crisis of the third century. This isn't late imperial history but the year of the 4 emperors is an incredibly interesting period (and could be kinda relevant with whats going on in the middle east since during the year of the 4 emperors Vespasian and his son Titus put down the Great Jewish Revolt) @@DrawnofHistory

Oh hush.

Strange, I've never seen Mr Betts and Drawn of History in the same room before...

indeed

I was going for a Blue Chips Nick Nolte

No prob. My pleasure.

You seem to be everywhere sir

@@juhosalonen143 am I all places, yes

Don't tempt me with a good time.

It's not about the Revolution of 1848 but I have a proto-Drawn of History style on my other channel about Otto von Bismarck so it's in that ballpark.

Fingers crossed and thanks for the kind words

That's suggested a lot. I always mispronounce EVERYTHING when I cover this topic.

Love it. Will do.

Cameron, thank you so much. I have a feeling there may be a development in this front in next month's video.

What they said

will do

Apparently he slept through some major events of it. There wouldn’t be much of a video 😂

Maybe in 2023 it'll actually happen.

Terry great and his voice work gets better each time he helps

Anything to help this awesome channel!

Thanks for coming over. Jack's awesome.

I know, when they said Horatio Gates won at Saratoga, i was like buuuuuut did heeee?

Thanks, worked really hard on it.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

@@DrawnofHistory all right after we watching this like 10 times I have to say I just love the joke about the marching song at Yorktown.

I may come back to them but I think I need to shake it up for a while with a new topic.

@@DrawnofHistory well hey that works too. The more the merrier.

Hehe

Ha. That would pretty much take up what I could produce until at least October.

@@DrawnofHistory I thank you for your hard work and have enjoyed all the videos. Wish I could do more but awaiting an MRI and possible hip replacement. Your videos and others have helped nights when the pain is nearly unbearable. Thank you for all you do.

I recommend "Hero of Two Worlds" by Mike Duncan. Link is in the video description.

It was him and he'll have a bigger part in the next one

Well, if England was able to find all the money necessary to fight and (finally!) defeat Napoleon, it was because this time the situation was very different. It had become a question of life and death for English trade, especially because of the stupid continental blockade. England is not an absolute monarchy : at the time of the American War of Independence, merchants were not ready to give all the necessary money. But faced with a possible French monopoly on various goods, the merchant nation felt an existential threat and they pledged everything they had, reserves included. After all, they were the best and most innovative capitalists in the wolrld . Anyway. how could France with its size and demographics seriously hope to conquer all of Europe? This is absolute madness !!! ! If Napoléon could have created free nations, not subject to France, having their free will and control over their choice and their destiny, it could have worked. This was the hope of the Bavarians and even Beethoven believed in it for a time.But playing dictator when you are the son of a Revolution could only fail. And that's good. I'm French but for all the glory in the world I wouldn't have wanted to live under a military dictatorship that didn't care about the lives spent. Just read the private correspondence at the time, the majority of French people apart from the officers no longer wanted him. The French were fed up with the death lists and the lack of freedom. And art! Even Chateaubriand himself was banned from publishing and Napoleon publicly threatened to have him executed! Yet at the time he was the greatest and most recognized French writer in Europe!! Madame de Staël was forced into exile. They were no more art! The English, Prussians and Russians have done us a great service. Have a nice day writers and viewers.

Let's see what we can do.

@@DrawnofHistory thank you

@@DrawnofHistory how’s it going

Thanks. Sharing it would really help.
