NTRO: Opens with scene from Casablance (on Youtube) when the French sing the Marseillaise in a bar full of Germans during the occupation.
THE SONG CAME FROM THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
3:00
FR IMPORTANT BC IT GAVE "TRUE MODERN MEANING TO THE WORD 'REVOLUTION'"
--no longer "returning to same place," but "going to future"
--means traditional state of affairs is no longer the "natural" one
--means "conscious human decisions can be used to re-organize society" (an Enlightenment legacy)
--results:
1) BIRTH OF IDEOLOGIES (word coined in FR in 1795)
--Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism, Communism, Nationalism don't exist before FR.
--how did the FR "create" them"
(6:17): because: once the revolution occurs, POSTIONS HAVE TO BE EXPLAINED, PROGRAMS HAVE TO BE ARTICULATED:
--those programs are today's ideologies
--Liberalism from 1815
--Conservatism from Burke
--Nationalism from Napoleonic
--Socialism in 18teens
FR GIVES BIRTH TO MODERN POLITICAL WORLD:
--"Left" and "Right" from 1789-90 National Assembly speakers on each side of podium
--"Terrorist" originally meant supporters of "the Terror"
--Propaganda spread the "political" faith (was originally a church activity)
--Year 2 (1793) Political Education (9.40)

13.30:
FIRST PHASE OF REVOLUTION:
--dates (not to cram, but to give an idea of the speed of events rushing headlong into revolution):
--May 5, 89: King calls Estates General b/c the Crown is bankrupt. Louis XIV would solve this by arresting top creditors and taking their money.
--LOUIS XVI CAN"T DO THIS BECAUSE THERE IS A PUBLIC NOW.
--coffee houses, pamphlets, etc
--ESTATES GENERAL LAST CALLED IN 1600s
First estate: Clergy
Second estate: Nobility
Third estate: Commoners
UPROAR: Sieyes: "What is the Third Estate?"
--calls nobility parasites, champions rights of commoners
--King agrees to give 3I twice as many deputies as other estates. 600 v. 300 for clergy, 300 for nobility
--procedural issues (18.00) lead to calling the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY being created by the THIRD ESTATE:
--King opposes
--Clergy cross over
--King relents
--troops sent to Paris
--National Assembly deputies in Versailles respond to troop movement: Neckar, King's minister favoring the 3rd Estate, is forced to resign. Sent away in disguise, people see him, mobs attack armories, STORM THE BASTILLE ( only 7 prisoners in it), attack garrison, take over fortress, kill and behead and parade head on pike through Paris.
--BACK IN VERSAILLES
--panic
--peasant unrest in countryside
--"The Great Fear" of reprisals against peasants supporting National Assembly
--all-night meeting overtakes deputies who give up privileges (clergy and nobles give up all tax and legal privileges)
--cartoon: peasant carrying aristocrat and clergy: birth of democracy
