On this week's episode of History Reconsidered, Sumantra Maitra and Jarrett Stepman discuss the French Revolution in the first episode of a three part series on the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken posted on Twitter for Bastille Day that the American and French revolutions were based on the same things. "The War of Independence and the French Revolution were fueled by the same aspirations for freedom, democracy, and human rights," he wrote. But is that true?
Maitra and Stepman talk about the origins of the French Revolution and its relation to the American Revolution. They also discuss the Revolution's role in fueling the rise of Napoleon, one of the great men of history who undeniably shaped the 19th century and the modern world.
