The French Revolution [1.6]

Perhaps the most seismic political event in European history.  Learn why the Revolution began - and more importantly why it was so difficult to stop the cycle of violence as it accelerated.  We'll also see what efforts the French undertook to replace the authority of the monarchy, including the invention of modern political culture.  Support the showFor more information on History Off the Page, check out our website www.historyoffthepage.com!   Or you can support the  show via Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/historyoffthepage?fan_landing=true.
