Over the centuries there has been numerous claims to the French Throne, after the several coups and capical-revolts that coppled various monarchies, but in the modern era there are only three realistic claimants that would have a chance of getting the throne if the French restored their monarchy; The Legitimists, The Orléanists and the Bonapartists.

*- The Legitimists*
The Legitimists are royalists who believe that the descendants of the eldest branch of the Bourbon monarchy, which was deposed in the 1830 July Revolution, have the right to dynastic succession to the French throne. They deny the claim of the July Monarchy, which put Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, head of the Orléans cadet line of the Bourbon dynasty, on the throne until he was dethroned and exiled with his family. Louis-Alphonse de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou, who has claimed the French Throne since 30 January 1989, is the current head of the House via primogeniture.

*- The Orléanists*
The Orléanists are a group royalist that believe that the descendants of Louis-Philippe I, France's last penultimate king, who was a head of a lesser junior brach of the main royal family, elected as king as a moderate after the 1830 Revolution, have the right to the throne. Jean, self-styled Count of Paris, who is a contender to the French throne as John IV, is the current head of the family. His pretense, according to the Orléanists, stems from his status as the French King Louis-Philippe's successor. His pretension is based to the fact that he is the heir of Henri, comte de Chambord, and therefore of Charles X of France, according to Legitimists. Orléanists Ignore the french Monarchy's inheritance laws, which says that nobody called to assume, by primogeniture, the throne can renounce it, and any treaty opposing this law would be automatically considered invalid

*- The Bonapartists*
The Bonapartists are a group supervening from Napoleon Bonaparte who support the restoration of the Imperial House of France and its style of government. Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon is the current disputed head of the House of Bonaparte, and the disputed heir of Napoleon Bonaparte.  Jean-Christophe's grandfather, Louis, Prince Napoléon, died in 1997 and stipulated in his will that he wished his grandson Jean-Christophe to succeed him as Head of the Imperial House of France rather than the boy's father, Charles, who had embraced republican principles and decided to remarry without his father's consent. Despite the dynastic dispute, Jean-Christophe's father has stated that "there will never be conflict" between him and his son over the imperial succession.

Who has the best claim to the French Throne? Discuss!!!!

What is your fav historical event?

Two world leaders, their egos clashing like thunder, argue over petty differences while their nations suffer. Their words, like bombs, ignite the flames of war. Innocent lives are lost, their blood staining the earth. The world watches in horror, a silent witness to the senseless violence. It's a tragic irony: while leaders bicker for power, their people pay the ultimate price. #peace #love #unity #happiness #salvation

Enough is enough!

Meet Flossie! I've been reading about Flossie for a few years now, so I was thrilled when I came across this video. Flossie is 28 years old and turns 29 on Dec. 29th. She is currently recognized as the oldest living cat in the Guinness Book of World Records. She lives in England with her British mom Victoria. Although she is in good health, she has diminishing eyesight and no hearing, but her purrrs are still perfection.

Matmata is a town in northeastern Tunisia, specifically in the Kebili Governorate. It's renowned for its traditional underground dwellings, known as "troglodyte" houses, which are built into the earth to provide shelter from the intense heat. These unique structures have become a significant part of the town's cultural and tourism heritage.

#OTD World War II: Battle of Stalingrad 

German General Friedrich Paulus (Pictured) began a fresh offensive toward Stalingrad, Russia with artillery and aerial bombardments. His ground troops then reached the strategically vital hill 102 of Mamayev Kurgan which overlooked the city. This hill, an important line of defence for centuries, would now see a bloody struggle by both sides as its loss would allow the Germans to control the entire river, across which all Soviet supplies had to travel. By the end of the day, the Soviet 62nd Army had been reduced to 90 tanks, 700 mortars and 20,000 men.

Dougga is an archaeological site in northwest #Tunisia, known for its well-preserved #Roman ruins. It's a #UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997, featuring temples, theaters, Roman houses, and baths.

What craftsmanship, absolutely stunning and bad ass. When people thought europeans living in the dark ages had no skill or talent.
