Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Cao Shuang felt that Louis XVI's ending was acceptable at this time.

Be a rich man.

It's also quite nice to be an emperor without real power.

But Cao Shuang also remembered that the execution song of Louis XVI played on the sky curtain seemed to be a spoiler, and Louis XVI eventually lost his head.

So what is going on?
"Louis XVI was already a wealthy man, so why was he still killed? These revolutionaries are going too far!"

……

The sky curtain continues.

【After the new revolutionary government came to power, the first thing it had to solve was the economic problem. 】

[After all, even Louis XVI failed because he convened the Estates General Meeting due to economic issues.]

【The new revolutionaries must also solve this problem. 】

[The revolutionaries were unable to impose more taxes on the Third Estate, so they decided to first forcibly confiscate the clergy's property and then use the clergy's property as collateral.]

【However, the paper money issued by the revolutionaries encountered difficulties in circulation. 】

[The original French bonds and banknotes were backed by the king’s credit.]

【And now the king stands aside.】

[Many peasants were unwilling to accept the new banknotes issued by the revolutionaries.]

[The excessive issuance of banknotes has caused currency depreciation, and the people are increasingly dissatisfied. ]

[At the same time, Louis XVI, who was under house arrest, had been actively making contacts and preparing to escape.]

[He hoped to contact the feudal monarchs in Europe and unite to strangle the revolutionary forces in France.]

[By June 1791, Louis XVI's motorcade slowly left Paris, but their procession was still too conspicuous.]

[He was discovered shortly after leaving the city and was arrested.]

【The escape caused Louis XVI to lose all his reputation and was dismissed from all his posts.】

【People across the country demanded the king be tried. 】

[Although everyone wanted to replace Louis XVI, the public and the Constitutional Convention all felt that France still needed a king.]

[And we don’t even know who to replace him with at the moment. ]

【Then the Constituent Assembly declared Louis XVI not guilty and restored him to the throne. 】

[Although this was the mainstream attitude, many radical revolutionaries strongly opposed it and demanded that Louis XVI be tried.]

[Among them, the Jacobins' opposition voices grew louder and louder. ]

[A conflict broke out between the two sides, and thousands of people gathered at the Champ de Mars to demonstrate. Lafayette commanded the National Guard to go to the Champ de Mars to suppress the protest, resulting in hundreds of casualties.]

[This marked the beginning of the violent French revolution.]

[Lafayette, the former French hero, lost his reputation for directing the massacre of the people and was forced to resign.]

……

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng was amused by Louis XVI's inconsistent and weird actions.

"Look, aren't the rebels causing chaos?"

"Louis XVI had plenty of opportunities."

"When I ascended the throne, I lay dormant for many years before I finally took control of the power of the Qin Dynasty."

"Louis XVI is not a young and energetic man. Why is he so impatient at this moment?"

"That's right. If he wasn't so stupid, he probably wouldn't have lost his life!"

[As the domestic unrest in France intensified, the monarchs of various European countries also became increasingly uneasy. ]

[At first they thought that the French people's rebellion might be just a short-term event.]

[At most, it would limit the king's power like in England.]

[But now all the feudal monarchs in Europe have seen that the revolutionaries have completely taken power in France. ]

[They want to overthrow the emperor! ]

【And it began to influence other European countries. 】

[These feudal emperors have all become enemies of the people. ]

【This is something that the European feudal monarchs could not tolerate. 】

[Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II and King Frederick William II of Prussia jointly issued a statement stating that the status of the King of France is a matter of concern to all European monarchs and that force will be used if necessary. ] [Foreign forces are watching with eager eyes. ]

[In France, the constitution was finally completed amidst the stormy situation.]

【Officially became a constitutional monarchy. 】

[At the same time, it was to divert domestic conflicts and to demonstrate the power of the revolution.]

[The French Parliament passed a proposal to formally declare war on Austria and Prussia in 1792.]

[But after the war broke out, the French army, whose military construction was in great disarray, had poor combat effectiveness.]

【The old army still thinks of the king. 】

[Most of the National Guards are militiamen, with very limited combat effectiveness and training.]

[It is difficult for armies with different ideologies to form a joint force when mixed together. ]

【Many noble officers surrendered directly. 】

[The queen has also been sending intelligence to her mother's home, Austria.]

【The French army suffered a series of defeats, and Paris was threatened. 】

[Faced with an unfavorable situation, the parliament decided to build a new military camp in Paris to accommodate tens of thousands of volunteers to guard Paris when the enemy invades. ]

【But Louis XVI had long been looking forward to the royal armies of Austria and Prussia coming to rescue him. 】

【So he used his veto power to prevent France from organizing an army to defend the country. 】

【When foreign enemies invaded, the king stopped the army from defending Paris? 】

[This caused great dissatisfaction among the people, who organized a new demonstration and stormed the palace.]

【The people demanded that Louis XVI withdraw his veto. 】

【But Louis XVI insisted on his decision. 】

[A dozen days later, some people in parliament accused the French army of losing a series of battles because the king had sided with the Prussians.]

【Demands call for the overthrow of Louis XVI.】

[And on July 7, the Prussian army had already entered France. ]

[A wave of enthusiasm broke out across France to defend the country and the fruits of the revolution. 】

[Every day, large numbers of volunteers from all over the country arrived in Paris.]

[At the same time, the king became increasingly unpopular, and every day there were huge calls for the king to be removed and tried.]

【At this time, Louis XVI had become the enemy of all French people. 】

【But Parliament still had not made up its mind to overthrow the king.】

[So on August 8, Robespierre and Marat officially launched the uprising, demanding the overthrow of the king, and received support from a large number of lower-class civilians.]

Robespierre appears in the picture.

And a large number of barrages also flew out.

The Beheaded King of France!

"Robespierre the Incorruptible!"

"He who slays a dragon becomes a dragon."

"Napoleon joined Robespierre's faction."

"Louis XVI would probably tremble when he saw Robespierre, the Chosen One of Khorne, haha!"

Canopy.

[The "sans-culottes" quickly occupied the parliament hall and placed the mayor of Paris under house arrest.]

【After a fierce battle, Louis XVI was arrested and imprisoned. 】

[This also means the official end of the French monarchy.]

【From this day on, the original constitutional monarchy began to decline. 】

【The Jacobins led the uprising Commune and began to demand to take over all power. 】

[While the domestic political situation was turbulent, the military situation on the front line also ushered in a turning point. ]

[With the support of the people, the French military strength soared, and won the Battle of Valmy, repelling the Austrian and Prussian coalition forces.]

【The external security environment of the newly born French Republic has been guaranteed. 】

[In September 1792, the First French Republic was formally established.] (End of this chapter)
