Historically, perhaps ... Leipzig, France, Elba, Waterloo and St. Helena ... but the spirit of the French Revolution did not stop!

Deutsches Reich, Kaisertum Österreich, Российская империя finally fallen!

The French Revolution was the greatest world event it was the reason behind the successful revolt in the Iles and the American Rebellion. But the one thing that killed both France and the USA was the return of the nobles and the class system was reintroduce. Almost one hundred years after the American rebellion the class war started again an France got $150,000,000 Fr in reparations from Haiti supported by the USA. For what you might ask for being French slaves

I may be off on my dates, but didn't the American Revolution (1776) precede the French Revolution (1792)?

Oui you are right in your dates by the actual revolution was one of progressive thought and the American rebellion was the test that went the way the progressive thinkers in France wanted it to go. Who would pay for their own down fall the French Nobles did thinking that they were hurting England! Did not the progressive thinkers of America end up in Paris. And Ole slave owner Thomas Jefferson bought along Miss Hemming to show how progressive he was.

So true... The French nobility was touched by the Age of Enlightenment. More specifically Voltaire, Rousseau and the Encyclopedie directed by Diderot. France was so touched by it that under Louis XVI they decided to help militarily and financially the insurgents. The reason was double as often, to hurt Great Britain but also because of a genuine interest for freedom and self-determination.

The fabulous irony from that is that those same ideas were not accepted by the people in power for the French people, but they finally overcame the French monarchy.

Very well said mon General, we see progressive thought now day as well. When the world saw that the church and the Nobles put the burden of state on the people rebellion was sure to follow. Napoleon was wise enough to see that but not as wise as Caesar to know that without the people he was doom. Liberation of Germany ended up as the end of Imperialism and the beginning of Socialism. So sometime it's the thought that justify the means !

Has the world turned upside again? Dumas has gone to Prussia? What secrets can he tell us?

Monsieur the only thing I can tell ju is that the LGA has no secrets An if they did do you really think they would tell me The only secret was moi and that wasn't kept long Now that am in Prusse service I look forward in beating up on some Frenchmen who think that they are nobles Nobility is a birthright not a title that some small time gangster gives out and takes back V' le Empire of Haiti and their Noble Alliance with Prusse.

General Dumas,

good luck!

See you sometime, somewhere in the beautiful, quiet areas Schlesien ... where l'Armée du Bober rest in the bend of the river Bober, near the idyllic town of Buntzlau, where Russische Feldmarschall Kutusow died in 1813 ...
