I wasn't born in early 1800 but my school never mentioned the french revolution executions in a bad way but like "lol those fancy inbreds got axed", they did mention "The Terror" as something about infighting among the revolutionaries, which was depicted as something sad.
But as you can clearly see, I remember dick about all that.
Anglos were/are extraordinarily freaked out about the terror
neither the French nor anyone else care about it quite so much
take from that what you will
Curious thing, eh?
Regardless of what they actually told me my takeaway was "axing kings=good, axing among revolutionaries = bad, which led to Napoleon, yet ultimately good cuz thanks to Napoleon latam colonies were able to declare independence, but actually meh cuz the people who ended up ruling the new countries were spineless bourgeois shitstains or feudal war lords"
They never mentioned dick about the Restitution or whatever was called that period where France got monarchs again, nor how eventually those shitstains got couped anyways.
