My mother has said some jaw dropping things in her life, but i think the craziest thing she ever told me was the Haitians used black magic to overthrow the French because that was the only way they could possibly win 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Im pretty sure the reparations were for all the people the haitians slaughtered. Yknow all those men women and children murdered by the glorius revolution.
It's often said that if Germany didn't exist, Britain would be the villains of our history textbooks, which is true, but thats only because they were better at world domination than France, Spain, or Portugal. They were all contenders at one point or another
The adult wake up call is realising most countries in the world have either committed, contributed and or been complicit with an atrocity in some form or another.
It’s almost like every nation on earth has done some awful awful things, and that we can only look to improve. Not forever condemn one another for all of history.
“Cropping for generations”, no, it was the modern equivalent of 500 million dollars. Thats it, for a country of millions of people. An equivalent of a few dollars per person. It wasn’t some generational crippling. Haiti made themselves poor through corruption, incompetence, and mismanagement

When the Tsar and his family were executed, it's commonly referred as a "French style revolution". France was the first to do it
Whoever thought France is squeaky clean is delusional 💀 We did HORRIBLE stuff and still are to this very day
Absolutely dunking on the French while making French food
A man after my own heart
British needs love bc British helped Belgium in ww1

Yeah french colonialism is often overlooked. Just like the short lived but brutally deadly german colonialism.
So you‘re telling me there are people who don‘t despise France?
Anyone who is interested in this stuff should look up the Haitian revolution. 🚩
Crepes are supposed to be way thinner than that :0
Bro hit an emote at the end
Props for dumping on France without going for the obvious:
1. Marquis de Sade
2. That one philosophers' petition from the 1970s
“I’m sick of people pretending Britain was the only bad guy”
As a Dutchman I’m pretending I don’t know shit about our history 🫣
Brit talking about the French is just like a Portuguese talking about a Spaniard.

And guess who helped Haiti? Yup, the Poles
Wait until people learn why the Vietnam war really started
Me an American looking at Cuba: …
"I can't believe Britain and France used the Atlantic Slave Trade!"
Portugal who invented it:
As an American i can tell you Haiti's problems are mostly their own fault with a mix of American involvement 😅
brilliant…frace should have to rebuild Haiti and eliminate their debt…and install a living language (Spanish or English)
Algeria’s history of colonisation by France is a big topic for you to go into if you wanna roast them!
Meanwhile Italians whistling in a corner like we didn’t start all of this in the first place
The Belgiums heavy breathing right now

As a german, you have me on your side
Hey man love your work, you could mess with Spain next
Nervously coughs in Dutch
Technically, since The Normans were French, they've always been the bad guys.

You would be devastated if you read about the Haiti revolution
I didn't know France was chill like that
"billed reparations for losing their slaves"
GOP: "WRITE THAT DOWN!"
Every country is a bad guy
My gosh You Are Good
If you make this a series, your should call it "Colonial Cooking."

All European nations get branded with the same brush . I think this video is misguided at best .
When the french government tried blow up an nuclear testing protest boat almost killing like 4 people
The Viets can tell you a few things about French atrocities.
Literally no one thinks we where the only bad guy 😂
Europe bad? Daring today aren’t we.
Why do you use a belgian song on a french video though
