FRENCHREVS

      
The sheer quantity of
political turmoil that
France went through in
a small number of
years around the start 
of the 1800s is just 
amazing...

   Some people think of 
   modern times as fast 
   moving and chaotic,  
   but the 25 years of  
   France after the     
   revolution beats     
   anything the modern  
   world has seen.      


I lose count of the number
of changes in government,
but it's something like:

  Louis XVI
  Revolution 
  Directory 
  Napoleon
  Louis XVII
  Napoleon 
  Louis XVIII
        

                ((Add dates to 
                  this list sometime))
