I am not judging people who maintain their X accounts, losing hundreds or thousands of followers, many of them good people, is no small decision. But I encourage you to do so nonetheless. Show these bullies that you can turn your back to them. Show them their irrelevancy towards history. #quitX

Social media platforms are now politically deformed, so be it. Bluesky is definitely a harbour for progressive thinking and people promoting education, knowledge and justice. So is Mastodon. As for Meta, the company is clearly not doing the right thing but the community is still good, so we’ll see.

I talk about history, that’s my purpose here. But we are also witnessing history. What is happening in the USA and in Europe, including in France, is troubling and reminds me a bit too much of my studies on the rise of Nazi Germany and the collapse of Western democracies in the 1920-30s.

I’d rather release fewer episodes but continue podcasting, rather than becoming frustrated or burnt out and stopping altogether. I hope you understand and will continue to listen and support the show.
Thank you,
Emmanuel

The reasons are simple. Although I love researching, writing, and recording the episodes, it is very time-consuming, and as a one-man army, it requires many hours per episode. With a full-time job and a young family, it’s simply become too demanding.

I think they were referring to the summary executions and other atrocities that took place at the Liberation, some committed by the Resistance itself.

Lots of horrible acts were indeed committed at the liberation. Including by the Résistance.

If memory serves, it was the second. Morocco recognized the USA first.

He has many Jacobin leaders arrested and deported, convinced that they are the real threat against him. Some are even executed, despite not having anything to do with the attempt. Swift “justice” from a man who had feared for his life.. #Napoleon

Napoléon believes that Jacobin extremists are responsible for the attempt, but his chief of police, Fouché, disagrees. He’s sure the Chouans (royalist rebels from Western France) are responsible. He’s right and arrests the responsible men, but Napoléon is not satisfied.

But there was a small change in the itinerary and the conspirators panicked. They spot the consular guard, ignite the bomb and flee. The explosion misses its target but proves very destructive. 22 people die, 28 are gravely hurt and 46 houses are damaged or destroyed.

After weeks of fighting, Bonaparte manages to gain the upper hand and to take key positions for his artillery. He is wounded to the thigh during the final assault but it proves successful. On their way out, the British destroy the French fleet stationed there, crippling it. #war
