have you ever wondered what entire world would be if never had the french revolution ?

the kings and queens stiil been the absolute rulers, chosen by god to do what they want with their kingdons and its populations.

americas never would be independent of european powers.

no democracy, no civil rights.



liberté, equalité, fraternité

freedon, equality, brothership
