What was the difference between the British monarchy and French monarchy in the 1800's?
Pretty big difference because the real French royals fought
through out most of the 1800's to retain the monarchy. They had to
deal with Napoleon and his son and nephew for control. Napoleon and
his successors weren't actually royalty even though they acted like
were and even though the French for some odd reason treated them
like they were. In reality they were despotic militaristic
politicians. France went back and forth multiple times in the
1800's between having a monarchy and not, whereas Britain
maintained the monarchy (in a constitutional role) through out the
1800's till now just fine; which is probably why Britain has (since
Oliver Cromwell) avoided a tyrant.
