French Revolutionaries: "How many people should we execute?" Robespierre: "Yes"

Every 100 seconds in France, a minute passes.

Imagine being a French soldier and hearing, " hoot hoot" across the fields.

Fun Fact: Fights would often break out between those meant to die by guillotine, but not for the reason you may think. These fights were to decide who would go first, which was to be desired. After just a few drops, the blade of the guillotine would become dull and require multiple drops to fully decapitate someone, which was, as you would imagine, extraordinarily painful

King and Queen: *disguise as peasants* King and Queen: FUCK IT, THE CARRIAGE COMES TOO

Oversimplified: *has two different sponsors on two videos* This enraged Skillshare, who punished him severely.

I personally like how serious he gets when it comes absolute tragic events, like he'll be silly about everything else but then when horrifying massacres come up, they'll use the art at the time instead of using the animation style

i think the fact that france was at war with most of europe and had a lot of revolutions and still survived and started pummeling the allies might be one of the greatest military feats in all of history

Top 3 Most Terrifying Battlecries 3. UUURAAAAAAA 2. TENNO HEIKA BANZAAAAAI 1. hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot

Fun Fact: Before Marie Antoinette was executed, she accidentally stepped on the executioner’s shoes and apologized to him for it.

8:45 fun fact: Louie actually did try to give a speech before he died, but was executed before he could. The song Viva La Vida is a interpretation of what the speech might have been.

Fun fact: The origin of the terms "Left" and "Right" originated from the National Assembly, where the Radicals all sat on the left, while the Moderates all sat on the right.

For being "oversimplified", this is actually more detailed than my highschool's history class about this revolution

Fun fact : when he was still a lawyer, Robespierre found death sentences immoral

20:58 Shoutout to the guy who appears from the aether in the top area after a while

Napoleon had a knack for getting the attention of influential politicians. He actually got tight with Robespierre and his brother, and after both were executed, he was imprisoned but found innocent. This revolution is so interesting. It shows that you can all agree that things need to change yet disagree violently about what change looks like. And even pursuing the loftiest ideals can end up in inhuman loss of life and power struggles causing chaos.

Robespierre: “TO THE GUILLOTINE” Royal Tax Collector: “Oh your getting sent to the guillotine? Yeah there’s a tax for that”

French Revolutionaries: "Did you do it?" Robespierre: "Yes." French Revolutionaries: "What did it cost?" Robespierre: "Everything. And my head."

Fun fact : this guy makes history 10X more interesting

I love how oversimplified turns an incident of Marie Antoinette having a boat as hair, into making her hair an AT-AT

*King exists* This enraged the French people, who punished him severely.

I feel like the American revolution is just the family friendly PG version of the French Revolution

it's saddening for marie, although she was out of touch, she still donated to charities and helped the peasants. she was also accused of buying a very expensive necklace even though she didnt. she never said the famous "let them eat cake". marie came to versailles as a young girl and was hated by the aristocrats. she was soft hearted and gentle.

A bit of poetic justice for Robespierre's death is he tried to shoot himself to escape the Guillotine, but the shot went through his jaw instead, silencing him for the rest of his life.

Scrolling through the comments? There's a tax for that

I remember back in school, one of the girls asked why they'd kill the women and children too. I said it's similar to potato chips, once you get started it's so difficult to stop.

I'm unfortunately very late to the Oversimplified party but I must say these videos are extremely well done. I've watched the French Revolution part one and Henry VIII so far. Cannot wait to watch the rest.

If I had managed to survive both the Reign of Terror and the Great Terror, I'd probably never be the same again.

"you can make a religion out of this" "no don't"

King Louis treated the peasants badly, THIS ENRAGED THE PEASANTS, WHO PUNSIHED HIM SEVERLY

I like the detail where king louis still said "uncool" even if his head was cut off, because this actually happens in the process of the guillotine, the head would still have enough time and energy to say their last words and they would normally say their executioner's name if they even know their names before losing their blood and dying

Every American wondering, "aw, how bad/insane can it really get?" needs to view this. Repeatedly.

*"Hoot. Hoot."* The best impresion of an owl I've ever seen

Robespierre: has 40,000+ killed in his Reign of Terror Stalin: *Pathetic.*

2:30 i find this funny as how king louis was caught was because of a peice of currency with his face on it.

Can we all appreciate the ATAT in Marie's hair. Loved it.

Real fact: they recognized the king by looking at a coin.

This Marat dude is the first example of keyboard warrior and twitter mob. He kept writing and escalating things from the comfort of his bathtub.

2:30 legend say that he got caught because of a coin (the king face was on every coins)

I love how the revolutionaries kept creating their own enemies but blamed the king over and over

Robespierre: *has thousands of innocent people sent to the guillotine* Robespierre: *gets executed by guillotine* Robespierre: Hold on, this whole operation was my idea.

the way oversimplified took Marie Antoinette's reaction to her husbands death more seriously than his actual death

6:45 once the calendar goes the revolution has officially lost its way

10:26 The part where the "owls" were charging into battle making "hoot hoot" sounds got me.

Fun fact! Before the revolution, Robespierre trained as a lawyer and was briefly a judge but resigned because he couldn't bring himself to sentence people to death.

You forgot the Best part about the death of Robespierre. During his arrest, he accidently shot himself in the jaw, permanently shutting him up for good.

Imagine if he thanked the sponsor at the worst time possible, like “She would tie people to boats and slowly drown the boat making them suffer and drown. Anyway, let’s thank our sponsor, Raid Shadow Legends!”

One of the major figures of French Revolution was Louis Antoine de Saint Just, better known as "Saint Just". He was one of the closest friends of Robespierre. Death penalty for King Louis XVI was basically Saint Just's idea and it was him who started executing people over minor suspicions thus he was know as "Archangel of Terror". Btw, you are an amazing narrator, I really admire your way of explanation and I really like your videos based on revolutions.

_Different sponsor in Part 2?_ *This angered NordVPN, who punished Oversimplified severly*

Robespierre: To the guillotine! Tax Collector: There's gonna be a tax for that.

As french, the owl part had me laughing a lot 🤣and Robespierre with the Final Fantasy 7 Sword at 13:43 😂

8:48 I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own [Interlude] I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead, long live the king" One minute, I held the key Next, the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman cavalry choirs are singin' Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world [Interlude] It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become And revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string (Mmm, mmm) Aw, who would ever wanna be king? I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman cavalry choirs are singin' Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) Roman cavalry choirs are singin' (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) Be my mirror, my sword and shield (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) My missionaries in a foreign field (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) For some reason I can't explain (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm

Moral of the story: Sometimes your best writing happens in the bathtub.

Robspierre: *Executes a hell of a lot of people, and even some of his friends and family.* Joseph Stalin: "Is it possible to learn this power?"

Reading Kropotkin's "The Conquest of Bread" has required MANY trips to wikipedia, and having this oversimplified timeline has been SOOO useful to keep all of the events and factions straight. Also, I'm learning more about the different things I saw in France, so it's really exciting. Thank you for putting this out there! I hope that the memory of one of my mothers almost causing a bicycle accident and getting called a "bourgeouis" as an insult will remain entertaining for years to come.

8:51 they really hated him this much

"They sent a relatively young captain, Napoleon Bonaparte..." Yep, here comes the moment we've all been waiting for.

France: *Gets rid of the monarchy and religious authority* Robespierre: we can make a religion out of this

not subscribed to oversimplified? to the guillotine!!!!

honstly, its much funnier when you learn Louis XVI was stopped from flee because the guy recognized his face from the money (and even pulled out a coin to double check!)

Fun Fact:Charlotte Corday was a lot more hardcore than the video shows. Her original plan was to kill Marat on the floor of the National Convention and allow the angry mob to beat her to death. Marat had withdrawn from the assembly so Charlotte got creative.

Fun fact: When King Louis XVI and his wife were disguised as servants, the king was recognised because of his face on a coin.

In the end, the Revolutionaries had long since lost control of the Revolution.

just the “hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot hoot hooot hooot hooot” had me dying 😂 10:29

Imagine you're in France on a vacation and you hear hoot hoot in the distance getting louder

*Part 2 gets on trending* Part 1 : *AM I A JOKE TO YOU?*

I love how the end of the French Revolution is the crowning of another monarch. The Revolution became the very thing they've sworn to destroy.

The reign of terror was honestly like the Salem witch trials you could accuse and your problems are excused

“To the guillotine” ~Robespierre, French Fruit Ninja ChopchopcHopCHOpChopChop Chop

Robespierre: *starts a violent revolution that promises liberty and democracy, but ends up becoming an authoritarian dictatorship* Lenin: write that down, write that down!

I cant imagine how Frace is in shambles and utter chaos and still kick the asses of the coalition

18:14 I believe the bourgeois fighters were actually called the “golden children” and they were essentially the polar opposites to the Sans Culottes

"Hit him with it jean." "Hoot, Hoot" That part killed me

"This isn't a list of enemies. It just says, 'Yippee ki yay, motherf-'" * Dies * Best part.

Are we going to ignore the fact that Marie Antoinette had a Star Wars AT-ST Walker for her hair 😂😂

10:44 “a relatively unknown young captain” oh, how the times have changed

UKposts: #1 on trending Private Taxer: Yeah... There’s a tax for that.

You know someone’s important to the storyline if they have a mouth

I absolutely love how he can be talking seriously and there will be battle music and everything, then it will switch to bubbly music and a ducky bit!🙂😇😊

2 people died per day by the gullitone during the great fear. yes my teacher caculated this.

Omg I lost it at the Owls part with the *HOOT HOOT*. Simply genius.

OverSimplified has made a 22-minutes video... There's a tax for that...

I love that you inserted the Raid ad immediately after 0:51. Well played.

I've seen this one at least 30-40 times,but it's the first time I noticed, on her way to the guillotine, Marie Antoinette's hair is an AT-AT from Star Wars!!! Brilliant.🤣

France; Hey, we did it guys! We're free of our Monarchy! Napoleon; *Hold my baguette*

Fun fact: During Robespierres arrest,he attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the jaw and the day of his execution,the guards removed the bandage keeping his jaw in place so he began screaming in agony until the blade shut him up.

*"le hooray"* *_~Napoleon Bonaparte_*

15:35 There's a lot of criticism against Marie Antoinette, but you have to admit her AT-AT hairstyle was way ahead of it's time and later used in a very popular movie series.

France: we finally free of monarchy Napoleon: allow me to introduce myself

Napoleonic Wars, OverSimplified. *_W H E N_*

Respect oversimplified for making this types of videos

15:40 I love how Marie’s hair is an AT-AT.

And so Robspierre Attacked members of his council. This enraged the council, which guillotined him severely.

What you should do next: 100 years war Napoleonic wars Franco Prussian war German Unification Civil War Vietnam war Gulf war

I mean... I am learning and having a blast! Thank you. More content like this and education and academics will never be the same: believe me!

6:14 sounds like a certain galaxy far, far away.... Also 12:48 I can't believe you included that reference!!!!

I'd love Oversimplified to have a go on "The rise and fall of the Roman empire" How cool would that be!

"A chair is $399?" TO THE GUILLOTINE!!!

10:33 my brain is having a stroke trying to represent an image of the following sentence
