I have been banned from continuing to discuss the existence of the French Revolution in the Bridgerton universe at family dinners
#jokingly banned but banned nevertheless#this is my roman empire#it haunts me#Bridgerton#the entire regency aesthetic and era would not exist without the context of the French Revolution and yet?? no Revolution??#are the napoleonic wars happening?? the war of 1812 in North America???#why are there no militias???#and then at one point Anthony mentions Napoleon and THAT is straight up impossible#Napoleon would be an entirely unknown minor officer without FRev??#and the regency era folk were NOT throwing these huge dramatic balls at the time#they were fairly simple as Jane Austen herself went to great efforts to emphasize. country dances and simple hellenic gowns#and do you know why? BECAUSE OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION-#which means the French Revolution did NOT happen. And yet we have a classical aesthetic and Napoleon is there???#adding to this: everybody seems to be on great terms with the Americas and have business dealings there#even though the COUNTRIES SHOULD BE AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER!??#THEY BURNED DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE???#so did the American Revolution just resolve peacefully and create the neoclassical movement on its own#without the influence of the NOBLES GETTING THEIR HEADS CUT OFF ON THE CONTINENT#WHY WAS THERE A CLASS REVOLUTION IN AESTHETICS BUT NOT FACT????#*I am forcibly escorted from family dinner*

North Yungas Road, Bolivia: The Yungas Road, popularly known as The Death Road, is a 64-kilometre long cycle route linking the city of La Paz with the Yungas region of Bolivia. It was conceived in the 1930s by the Bolivian government to connect the capital city of La Paz with the Amazon Rainforest in the north part of the country. Large parts of it were built by Paraguayan prisoners during the Chaco War. Several sections of the road are less than 3 metres wide, and due to presence of rain, fog, landslides, cascades, steep slopes and cliffs that drop more than 610 meters or 2000 feet, it is largely considered the most dangerous road in the world.
