Why try something a little different today and look at History in a Nutshell: Bite-Sized Insights into the Past. Today's topic is the French Revolution. We guarantee you'll learn more about the French Revolution in 5 minutes than you've learned your entire life (That is unless your a French scholar...) Anyway, today's sponsor is Le History Chan-nel, (No, not that History Channel...) your go to source for all things french history.
