>French people complain about monarch >Gets overthrown

this is the worst paraphrasing i've ever read

>>455844
>greedy monarchs accrue mountains of wealth
>wage pointless wars that mean nothing to the people
>have them fight and die in them
>let them starve to the point of rebellion

Why are upper class people so stupid?

>>455861
>Pointless wars
Name one pointless war in history

>>455869
>Napoleonic Wars
>necessary

HRE and co. were afraid of republicanism taking over their country so they were forced to declare war to stop a revolution before it began

These are the French Revolutionary Wars (pic related), not the Napoleonic Wars
The Napoleonic Wars were started by Britain in 1803 for whatever reason

>>455891
One thing is protecting the country against invading armies, which is understandable. Another is dragging your fucking army to Russia to piss off the British.

>>455844
Yeah, Napoleon sure did a great job saving France from getting invaded by all of Europe.

Napoleon and France together was a powerhouse capable of controlling all of Europe, the Napoleonic wars were wars of liberation for Europe from under Napoleons boot

>the Napoleonic wars were wars of liberation for Europe

Napoleon pls go.

>>455915
I mean from the Anti-Napoleon point of view, Austria, Spain, Russia, Portugal, Prussia, all being forced to comply with the whims of Napoleon

>>455915
Maybe you should finish reading the sentence son

>tfw Neyfag

>>455931
Ney was pretty god-tier until Russia

>>455937
Yeah I know. Thats why it hurts.

>>455931
>you will never be a general under Marshal Ney
feels bad man

>>455844

The french people didnt overthrow Napoleon. It was a coalition of countries + the old french nobility.

>>455844
Because Louis was a cuckold and napoleón was an alpha

>>455869
ww1 just fucked over everybody that got into it for fuckall gain.
Falklands are just sheep and shit so a war over them was dumb.
The war of Jenkins ear
The football war

>>456169
WWI started out over a meaningless excuse but it was quickly over taken by Balkan and Danubian nationalism, which was very important
The rest are meme wars
