Bastille Day ?

Posted by TheBlackBaron on July 12, 2010 at 3:43 PM

            


 There are lot of things I do not understand. One of them of is Bastille Day. As most of you know Bastille day is a French holiday which celebrates the storming of the Bastille. It is celebrated every July 14th. The thing I don't get is why anyone would consider this a day for celebration. This holiday celebrates the symbolic beginning of the French Revolution. A revolution that began a reign of terror that killed thousands of Frenchmen. And yet this is a National French holiday! What's next? 


 The French Revolution was one of the most bloody events in history. Tens of Thousands of Frenchmen were killed by the Democratic regime. Strangely enough Human rights groups have declared that the French revolution was a " great victory for human rights". 72% of the victims of the reign of terror were peasants and 14% were middle class. The massacre of Vendeean royalists by the First republic is considered by some historians as the first modern genocide in history. Thousands of women were raped. The Revolutionary soldiers even violated corpses. Children were placed in ovens by revolutionary and then roasted to death. Why would anyone want to celebrate these monsters? 


Well, I'm sick of sitting by and see those disgusting villains glorified once a year. Its time to fight back . From this day forth I declare July 14th Counterrevolution day . On this day we honor the heroes of the War in Vendee. I urge all Frenchmen who love France and their King to join me in this celebration. It is a tragic to see a great nation of France honoring those who murdered her sons. Some day perhaps justice will be served and those villians will be exposed for who they really were. Until that day we must fight to spread the truth. VIVE LE ROI !

I agree that the French Revolution was very bloody and ended with a bloodshed and total destruction of France. But I also must notice that the Bourbons had done a few intolerable actions which resulted in this. I still remember the words of Marie Antoinette when the delegates told her that "Your majesty, we are hungry: we don't have any bread." Her answer:"Then you should eat cakes and tarts" what can she be called after this?
That is the main reason why I am against absolute monarchies:
if the King and his family are absolutely unsuitable to rule then nobody will save the country and that may result very sadly...
But I will agree that this revolution brought the country to a situation that was even worse than it was.

Caesarevich, that bread story is revolutinary propaganda, and most likely taken out of context.
Edmund Burke in his Thoughts on the Revolution in France paints a very crude painting on the frech revolution, and explains that, when in comparison with other monarchies, the French one was very liberal and tolerant.

But I must notice that from what I read, France did not progress forward and was, by the words of some sources, in a downfall.

France was in the brink of financial ruin. But still, the kingdom was a cultural superpower, as well as a military and economical one.
It sufferd from a heavy administrative body and an intrincate burocracy that was slowing down the recoveral from the economical crises, while th State was spending a lot more than it should.
But even today we see, on a daily basis, countries from all over the wolrd with the same problems.

The existence of France as a Nation, with its traditional insittutions and laws, and the principle of isonomy , justice and equity was not menaced at all.
