Two things that would be good sub subjects related to this how napoleon amazingly kept the French army stable and able fight and win wars during all the turmoil and lack of funds created by the revolution, and how napoleons escape from Elba and subsequent threat to Britain essentially kept the United States, directly or indirectly depending on how you see things, from being overthrown and annexed by England.

Lmao at 6: 30.
The French borrowed money from America loaned to them by the British, which basically meant the British were funding an invasion against themselves by the French.
Irony of ironies, the US still does similar things today -- borrows money from and/or loans money to other countries so they can buy US weapons to fight other countries which the US can later invade.

One of the lasting effects of Napoleon if the use of civil law in continental Europe. Many countries still use the Code Napoleon in their legislation or as a basis for its legislation. The other is having a civil registry where you report births, marriages and deaths and everybody has a formal last name.

0: 49 Apparently that wasn't the case & American revolutionaries were pro King but anti Parliament who was probably taxing them a lot. Heard this on a podcast, book called _The Royalist Revolution: Monarchy & the American Founding_ by Eric Nelson who was on the podcast talking about his book.

Okay so I know this is an old video but it was the video I was watching when I thought of this:
Kingdoms and nations; what are they, what are the differences and what was the first nation-state in history? Are there any kingdoms left in the world?

If only it were the Marquis de Lafayette that won out over Robespierre.
If only the US were stronger, earlier, so they could come return the favor for Lafayette.

The Revolution deserves multiple videos. A quibble: the Parisians stormed the Bastille to get gunpowder, not guns; they had already gotten the guns from the Invalides.

You can backtrack the footprint of the English in the French revolution. Maybe an act of revenge for the humiliation in Yorktown and losing the 13 colonies.

The battle of Trafalgar, where the French were late, and Spain lost what was left of it's naval power, to never recover it again.

Everyone should have a gander at the Drownings at Nantes for an excellent look at what the French Revolution was really like.
