    Anglos were/are extraordinarily freaked out about the terror

    neither the French nor anyone else care about it quite so much

    take from that what you will

      Curious thing, eh?

      Regardless of what they actually told me my takeaway was "axing kings=good, axing among revolutionaries = bad, which led to Napoleon, yet ultimately good cuz thanks to Napoleon latam colonies were able to declare independence, but actually meh cuz the people who ended up ruling the new countries were spineless bourgeois shitstains or feudal war lords"

      They never mentioned dick about the Restitution or whatever was called that period where France got monarchs again, nor how eventually those shitstains got couped anyways.
