Alex and Diana dive into the wild undercurrents of the French Revolution, exploring how Parisian sans-culottes and exiled émigrés pushed the Legislative Assembly to collapse, birthing the Republic amid bloodshed. They unpack the Reign of Terror's paradox—saving the nation through guillotines while devouring its own—and reveal how it forged modern nationalism from fear and fervor. This episode turns revolutionary madness into a thrilling tale of power, violence, and unintended legacies.
