The Bloody History of the Eiffel Tower

[bodecea]

1. I opened Google today....and the commemoration is this:

"When did the Eiffel Tower open to the public? March 31, 1889

...March 31, 1889 the Eiffel Tower first opened to the public in Paris and today, Google is celebrating its 126th anniversary with a doodle that shows workers giving final touches to the French marvel."

2. But what is rarely mentioned is that the geography on which it is built is historic, as well....
A massacre took place there, playing a significant role during the French Revolution.....

...and the man in charge of said massacre was........


14th July 1789: Armed citizens storm and capture the Bastille.
15th July 1789: Lafayette was appointed Commander of National Guard.

The very same Lafayette who aided George Washington....



3. "During the French Revolution, on 17 July 1791, the Champ de Mars in Paris was the site of a massacre', the fusillade du Champ-de-Mars. On that day, the National Constituent Assembly issued a decree that the king, Louis XVI, would remain king under a constitutional monarchy. Later that day, leaders of the republicans in France rallied against this decision."


"....A large crowd gathered at the Champ de Mars to sign the petition. The marquis de Lafayette and the National Guard, which was under his command,....the crowd, led by Danton....

....the National Guard opened fire directly on the crowd. The exact numbers of dead and wounded are unknown; estimates range from a dozen to fifty dead." Champ de Mars Massacre - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia


The reputation of Lafayette suffered greatly...and never recovered.



4. The Champ de Mars Massacre resonated with the French in much the same way that the Boston Massacre did in America.

Google, the source of all your knowledge.

Isn't that far better than your situation....knowing nothing at all.

Try reading a book some time, you'd be amazed at what you can learn.

she'll read a book but only one that goes along with her warped views that talk about how only the democrats are corrupt,especially one about FDR.

she wont read once that exposes the corruption of the republicans though.that I guarantee.

"So what?"


You're still saying that, after the poor result it produced throughout your school career?

She's fundamentally lazy, she has no interest in knowing about things she doesn't know about.

I know it. she wants to go on believing the lies our corrupt school system has taught us that we live in a free country and elect our officials and put them in office and not face facts that BOTH parties are corrupt and there is no difference between the two and that we dont elect these people and put them in office.

she made a thread not too long ago titled democrats never met a communist they did not like.she cites the pic of FDR and churchhill sitting next to stalin which shows how they were chums.

however she wont come on this thread i made that exposes how Ike was friends with stalin as well since i have a link there that proves that since it shows a pic of him Ike standing next to Stalin having a jolly old good time with him while Stalin gave the order to his troops to rape german women.

check it out.lol

Republicans never me a communist they did not like. US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum


she wont even answer a simple question this one poster asked her many times on a thread she made.

whats REALLY funny though is she doesnt even have either one of us on ignore either.

There isn't a whole lot of real estate out there where something bad has never happened on it.

I don't understand the connection of the ugly wrought iron monstrosity unveiled in 1889 to atrocities committed during the French revolution. It should be noted that American president Woodie Wilson (or his wife) sent Doughboys to fight for France at the cost of about 100,000 American lives.
