Montesquiou publishes a book, on the Spirit of Laws
This guy's so adorable! He looks like a little kid! Anyways, I'm having some trouble spelling his name, so let's just call him Bobby. Bobby was this French writer philosophe guy who pretty much invented checks and balances and the seperation of powers. He also wrote the Spirit of Laws thing. But since when do laws have spirits? What a weird guy. -
America declares independence
Awwwwwwwww, look how adorable this picture is!!!! So, America was a colony of Britain, and they wanted to be free because the British kept taxing us. Wait, I mean them, not us. This is supposed to be an unbiased timeline. I am in favor of no one. Not even the little kids in the picture. -
French Revolution
Whoah, this image is kinda explicit!!!!! But it says French Revolution on the front, so whatever. So the French Revolution is when the French revolted (no duh), because they were inspired by America's independence and they wanted to free too (except they wanted to be free of a king, not a country). It didn't really work, because it was followed by a bunch of mean dictators, but I think they deserve an A for effort -
Napolean overthrows directory through a coup de etat
Napolean was this really short Italian for France general who was really greedy and wanted power, so he performed a coup de etat, which is a sudden overthrow of government. Like a chicken coup! Actually, my friend had a chicken named Eve. Like Adam and Eve!! And also, one time my grandma's neighbor put his pet chicken on my sister's head. It was really scary. -
Haiti wins freedom from France
Wow, I have no idea what this a picture of. But I searched Haiti on Google images and this is what came up. Anyways, Haiti was pretty much all populated with slaves, and they were ruled by France who was all the way in Europe (because that's where France is located, in case you didn't know). They were inspired by the American revolution, and they were all like, "Hey if there's more of us here than them, why don't we just take over??" Those Haitians are pretty smart. -
Napoleon crowns himself emperor, begins to create vast European empire
Napoleon was a jerkface who just wanted power. So, he decided to crown himself emperor (I know what your thinking, but it gets worse). So he convinced the Pope to help crown him emperor, and the Pope was carrying the crown to Napoleon in the church during the crowning ceremony (I just realized I used the word crown, like, 20 times during this entry), and Napoleon takes the crown and puts it on his own head to symbolizes that he's more powerful than the church. Man, was that guy full of himself. -
Padre Hidalgo calls for Mexican Independence
After him, his mission was continued by Padre Morelos, and then Agustin de Iturbide, who later crowned himself king.
Whoah, this man is very pale looking. He should eat more spinach. -
Napolean is defeated at the battle of Waterloo
Napolean lost because he was trying to gain power after he got exiled. Then he got exiled again, but this time farther away so he would stop bothering them. I honestly don't care that he lost, because he was mean. And my 1st grade teacher told me we had to treat others the way we wanted to be treated. She also told me you have to put lines in your Q's or else they would just be O's. She was a very smart lady.
