And by &#8220;Like That&#8221; I mean impenetrably complicated. I did my best, I&#8217;ll say that, but oh man is history a mess in the 15-1900s. This stuff is the reason I had so much trouble with history for so long. It&#8217;s just so DENSE.<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY, join Blue and Griffin the Armchair Historian for a look into the history of the multiple successive French Empires. Listen carefully as Blue makes imperceptibly subtle commentary about his extremely non-biased opinions on this chapter in history, and laugh together as we analyze the historical significance of Napoleon Bonaparte&#8217;s anime hair.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE on 6:14 \u2014 I say Napoleon became Emperor in 1802. That&#8217;s a mistake. In 1802, the constitution of France was amended to make the position of Consul permanent, but Napoleon did not become the Emperor until 1804, when he declared the French Empire. That&#8217;s my bad.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE on 11:25 \u2014 French Guiana, on the northeast coast of South America, remained part of France following the decolonization of Africa. That&#8217;s a mapping mix-up.<\/p>\n<p>DISCORD: <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/sS5K4R3\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/discord.gg\/sS5K4R3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>PATREON: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.Patreon.com\/OSP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.Patreon.com\/OSP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot_2019-08-31-History-Summarized-French-Empire-Ft-Armchair-Historian-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot_2019-08-31-History-Summarized-French-Empire-Ft-Armchair-Historian--480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-50721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot_2019-08-31-History-Summarized-French-Empire-Ft-Armchair-Historian--480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot_2019-08-31-History-Summarized-French-Empire-Ft-Armchair-Historian--150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot_2019-08-31-History-Summarized-French-Empire-Ft-Armchair-Historian--768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot_2019-08-31-History-Summarized-French-Empire-Ft-Armchair-Historian--853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot_2019-08-31-History-Summarized-French-Empire-Ft-Armchair-Historian-.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overly Sarcastic Productions Published on 30 Aug 2019 Check out the Armchair Historian channel for more on French Vietnam and the battle of Dien Bien Phu: https:\/\/youtu.be\/IJ051WyUsW8 Dubious morality, drawn out timescales, intricate royal politics, worldwide stages \u2014 Colonialism be like that sometimes.
