The fantasy version of the French Revolution doesn't match up well with reality.

The revolutionaries ended up eating each other and that led to a new dictator, Napoleon.

Not to mention, the dirtbags desecrated French history including raiding the Tombs at Basilique St. Denis and emptying the ashes of 1000 years of Kings on the ground... Martel, Charlemagne... disgusting.

For every USA, there are a dozen France and Russias where the revolutionaries fucked up history.
