quit while you're ahead

Plot by Jewish bankers to destroy France.

Start with Hippolyte Taine.

Napoleon was a great military leader yet a terrible diplomat.

The war was started by libertarians, wanting to get rid of Catholic and Protestant monarchies and move to democracy/republicanism.

You'll never understand the Napoleonic wars without studying the French Revolution.

where can I get more pictures like this?
asking for a friend

The French wouldn't eat potatoes. So they starved while traditional french staple crops kept failing. Then they revolted because obviously it was the Monarchy and Aristocrats' fault.

Though like any revolution or civil war. It is the middle class trying to overthrow the ruling elite, to become the new ruling elite. The workers just get used as fodder by both sides.

>The French wouldn't eat potatoes.
N'importe quoi...

It's really interesting to read about Russia during this time period. If you every get the chance, read War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Long but worth it.

That picture is making me feel weird anons...

Got any more?

Was it rape?

fuck you

I tried once and it was the literary equivalent of slamming my face into a brick wall

I could hardly understand half of what the characters said, like I understood the basic premice of what was going on, like some noblewoman trying to get her son a spot in a guards regiment, or some kids running around the palace, or some guys having a drinking bet, but I feel like I missed out on a ton of hidden motivations and characterization. It felt like you could only understand what is really going on unless you had inside knowledge of 19th century russian court intrigue

>Plot by Jewish bankers to destroy France.
Actually it was a Swiss banker. Thank you very much.
>nobody suspects you when you are le petit suisse
>even centuries later they suspect da joos

Source?

This is an overinterpretation of two poor lines in this article. In reality the potato was popular in the countrysides (less in the north but still) since decades.

It's just about life, there is only sorta a greater narrative.

OP plz help :'(

That if you try to be bigger then you are you will have your teeth kicked in by half the important world

brainlet

Nationalism is a hell of a drug

Pict source?

It's written in a style I can't really appreciate. Hell, even things from the early 20th century still read like it was written by a huge faggot obsessed with flowers and ball gowns and shit.

It's about to be

>don't fuck with the British at sea
>don't overextend your army from its supply lines to get a quick surrender from slavs
>don't backstab your allies (spain)
>

source please?

>all these /pol/goloids not knowing how to reverse search an image

>doing it and realising it leads nowhere

Leads somewhere for me but the sources are in russian

Am I wrong for wanting the artist to create a second painting with the same beautiful artstyle, but it depicts her getting fucked in all holes by the enemy?

That just means you have good taste.

What nationally would you say she is? Scandinavian or England because blonde hair, red uniform, and Crown on collar? About to be executed by French after rape?

>tfw I recognize the author of that pic
Kill me please

>England
>blond hair

Tell me the name right now fago or I will cut you

Loads of people in England have blonde hair, more so than most of the continent. Beady eyes and black hair is a solid meme.

French cuirassier, executed by a Russian i'd say.

Don't leave us out like that user, who is the author of this masterpiece?

All of these are wrong, good effort though friend.

That armor is french
Weird thing is that the lads on the background also seem to be french

great argument

Not that user, but found it: yoonsikkim.artstation.com/projects/8B2bw

Good lads, the source, if you please. Here's a cute dog in exchange.

>Only good one
Eh...

A good takeaway for anyone is don't fuck with Russian winter.

Disappointed. But thank you user

Thanks user but not worth it :'( anyone else got any historic war waifus getting oppressed?
