Good Morning, welcome back to Prof Eugen Weber’s lecture hall at UCLA. Today,”39. The Death of the Old Regime
In France the old order collapsed under revolutionaries’ attacks and the monarchy’s own weakness.” Please follow that link out to the lecture. We have two lectures from Professor Emeritus Eugen Weber in a row because one of our grad students just figured out where the lecture hall is and missed the first 37 lectures, she is catching up tho.

Weber’s main focus as an historian is France. This is his specialty and this lecture is a fine delineation between ideals and mores in   Colonial America and Royal France side by side in a doctrinal framework. I urge you to pay very close attention to this and the next lecture. They are timeless and pertinent.

And Now Prof Weber is on Yinztube!
