  1. If you have any questions, criticisms or thoughts, please share!

    This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 will be about the Fall of Robespierre which technically means the end of the Revolution. BUT we will carry on with the Thermidorian Reaction, the Directory, etc. until we reach an obscure historical figure you've probably never heard of – some random named Napoleon Bonaparte.

  2. This is brilliant stuff and I really appreciate the level of detail you've put into it. Any idea when part 2 (and the parts on Thermidorian Reaction etc.) might be ready?
