A History Lesson
Hello! :D When at Uni.. I majored in World History.. so I have to say I am somewhat knowledgeable. Mkay. So I know Simming isnt supposed to be about learning.. But I want you guys to do this. I have prepared a short essay on the French Revolution. So, read it.. And then Im gonna ask you something?
==============================================================================================
July 14, 1789: A mob of thousands broke into the Bastille in Paris. The protesters main goal: take what they didn’t have, food. The people of France were hungry, and were willing to do anything for a loaf of bread. Unfortunately, many people are not taught in school in depth about the French Revolution, and what they do know, has been rewritten too many times to understand. What I shall do is give you some well-known stereotypes about this troubled time period, and then give facts as to why they are flat-out wrong.
Myth #1 The monarchs were power-hungry.
FALSE. This negative connotation that the royals wanted to control the people has been widely accepted as part of everyday culture. Although France at the time was a constitutional monarchy (one sovereign leader, with basic guidelines that had to be followed) Louis XVI did not have total control over the French people. Before he was King, the “advisors” had come up with the brilliant idea that France should pay for the basic welfare of the people. Bad idea. By paying for the millions of people in France, the country was coming into more and more debt. Now, when Louis XV died, and his grandson Louis Auguste took over, Louis had no control over this law. He wanted it repealed, because he knew that France couldn’t handle such a burden. In 1789 when the mob broke out, Louis, fearing for his life, gave all power to the finance ministers, who then printed money into oblivion to pay France’s debt. This right here shows that Louis XVI had little if any control over France, could not be held responsible for anything, yet he was guillotined in January 1793, and died, an innocent man.
Myth #2 Marie Antoinette spent her money on shoes and cake.
FALSE. France’s main problem started way before Marie Antoinette was born. In 1773, the American Revolution was in full swing, and to show England’s weakness, France decided to aid the Americans in battle. Sadly, this helpful gesture would show fatal, as it only sent France deeper and deeper into debt. Another thing that stifled French economic growth was the printing of money. As stated earlier, Louis XVI had no fiscal power of his country, and the new leaders printed until their heart's content, (or at least until they could pay their debts.) And they did. But now, with all the money circulating within the country, inflation started to rise. Inflation is where money is printed at extraordinary levels, and cannot be controlled by anyone. With inflation come recessions, depressions, and skyrocketing prices. For each new assignant printed, prices of goods rose higher and higher. As Frances government tried to spend its way out of debt, the spiraling prices of food rocked the country. Within a year, a loaf of bread went from 80 assignants, to 12,000 assignants. That right there folks is called hyperinflation. So this here proves that high bread prices were solely the government’s money printing scam. Now, Marie Antoinette did spend frivolously, but to be honest, it is impossible to bankrupt an entire country over a shoe obsession.
==================================================================================================
Now! A simple assignment. Anyone who reads this blog.. Tell me a current event, that has something along the lines of the French Revolution. I think that everyone knows how the Revolution ended up, but Im going to tell you anyways. DEATH, CHAOS, AND DESTRUCTION.
