Talk:Bastille

The Two Georges
Just for fun, regarding the reference to the Bastille in the Two Georges: when do you think Napoleon Bonaparte "slaughtered the innocents" in T2G timeline? I'm leaning toward 1795, as 1789 seems just a bit too early for him to have risen to a command like that. 1795 was also the year in OTL when Bonaparte slaughtered attackers the same way at the Tuileries with his "whiff of grapeshot".

Beethoven's age is irrelevant, as we don't have to assume that he dedicated his symphony immediately after the event. There could have been a 5 or 10 year gap.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 22:50, February 19, 2016 (UTC)
