La France is ready
Guns aimed, hearts are heavy
With Austrians at the border already, Max is steady
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks sly and ready to list names,
but he couldn't find the courage
To call them out
Convention's ruined clout
He opens his mouth but the crowd shouts him down
He's blown it now
Blood of Danton chokes him now
The guards are out
His rule's over blam!

ROBESPIERRE DID NOTHING WRONG

Even if that were true op is suggesting killing people on a whim.

>>3270537
Robespierre only wanted to guillotine enemies of the people so that's irrelevant

Snap back to fraternity, oh there goes equality
Oh, there goes Robbie, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy?

There needs to be a /his/: The Musical

What's the best book on the French Revolution?

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's head to waste
And I was 'round when The ruling class
Had thier moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Girondines
Washed their hands and sealed their fate

>Incompetent
> BTFOs Austria, invades Italy and Belgium successfully, stalemates the English, and takes Egypt and Syria before bubonic plague stops them all while fighting a civil war in the Vendee

Maybe you can argue some of that. The King really did provoke a war with Austria he intended to lose.

The anti-Catholic purges of priests and Infernal Collumns were pretty inexcusable.

I'd prefer to be the heroic general that usurps after after the beheading maniac gets guillotined himself. And take the one shot to dominate the western world.

Couldn't even beat arsenic.

Thomas Cochrane had a plan to bust him out after the 100 Days and take him to lead the revolution in Chile.

Imagine the alternate timeline where there is a Bonapartist Empire in South America.
