Is Revs. currently scaring the hell out of anyone else?

[Menang]

Hey, just gonna jump in the convo now.

My class is predominantly year elevens (I'm a year 11 myself) and there are hardworking and slack students quite evenly in both year levels.

France is a bitch, especially all the laws of the Terror, but it's also my favourite.

[billycrimmin]

hahaha, i agree. France is good. but i prefer Russia

[absurdlittlebird]

excuse the french but FUCK HISTORY
im currently living on nodoz. i love history so much, this is the one exam i care about.
and its driving me mental.
there is so much and so little time.
i want to bring louis xvi back from the dead just so i can decapitate him myself.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Kotza]

^^^ i think your French is fine

lmao mannnnnn do you do Russian?

I ... HATE.... NICHOLAS II

louis had honour, was a fat little goose but had prestige.

WHAT DID NOCHOLAS HAVE!? A MUSTACHE.. thats it.

[Menang]

Hahaha I personally prefer Nicholas II. Both were crap rulers but Nicholas II was actually pretty good-looking ;-)

[Kotza]

woah as if you said that, if i was an autocratic ruler i would negative karma you until something im too tired to think of happens.

anyways, he was a loser. Blames witte for everything, goes to the frint and leaves his wife in charge, refuses the Ministry of national confidence and help from Zemgor. Calling his officers fat pigs when telling him of the ominous revolt leading up to the February Revolution and the list goesss onnnnnnnn

thank you and goodnight

[Menang]

Hey, I never said he was a great Tsar!

Just, you know... comparatively.
I mean, if you had to choose between Louis XVI and Nicholas II to spend the rest of your life on an deserted island with, who would you go for?

Nice family man who's spent time in the military (however failed that might be) or key-obsessed, slightly rotund nerd who couldn't consummate his marriage for seven years?

[absurdlittlebird]

I'd go for Nick anyday.
At least if it came to needing to procreate to save mankind it wouldn't take seven years..

[Menang]

Thank you.
I rest my case.

In other news, I also think LaFayette or Kerensky might be very viable options.

[billycrimmin]

Nah. I think Kerensky was a bit effeminate. However i like the look of Lafayette hes a looker haha. "goldilocks".
He was also the only one that had any kind of future, he even got offered a position as dictator of France in the 19th century.
And dont put down Nicks moustache, what did Louis have? a belly and a wig.
Personally, im a big supporter of stolypin, he was the most underappreciated person and he did so much for Russia. He was destroyed by the very people he was trying to save.
It is sad. I feel like these people are my friends. Hahahaha.
But at least Louis stuck to his guns. He kept fighting to the end, Nick just gave up!

Well, to be fair, Nick couldn't really go anywhere, what with all the intercepted trains and all...
I agree with you on LaFayette, but Stolypin, really?

The whole "my necktie shall kill all annoying Russians" thing doesn't bug you?

[billycrimmin]

A little bit, but Stalin and Lenin introduced the first concentration camps. And more people got kille by CHEKA anyway.
Stolypin was just crabby. And people kept trying to kill him... haha.
Nicholas is a colossal dousche. His thing was to attack everyone who was useful, e.g gets rid of witte, or stolypin. (i realize stolypin was assasinated but his political career was ove ranyway)
haha. I hope this argument comes up in the exam.  "who is better, stolypin or lafayette? justify your argument with three points"

[nancb10]

WHAT DID NOCHOLAS HAVE!? A MUSTACHE.. thats it.

comeon man, he abdicated so he could ensure his son's saftey? the man has "moral fibre"....like Harry Potter

[billycrimmin]

yah! AND he had a mustache. so now he has the moral fiber of HP and an awesome mustache.

[Kotza]

he was coerced into abdicating
he didnt want to... he rejected all the warnings from his ministers.
If it werent for the revolutionaries who had intercepted his train, he wouldnt have abdicated. After all, he was returning to petrograd on the trip when he was cut off.



and harry potter is the maddest c*** out.
