Maybe you should define what do you mean by modern and poverty?I answered your qestion.
Well, since civic rights seem to not be taken very seriously in Qatar, it's hard to describe it as a modern country.
A modern country, the way I see it, is a country where its people have an easy access to food, schools, culture, transports, doctors, social services, where they can practice any religion and activity, as long as they respect others. In short.
Wasn't you who said that Robespierre joined Revolution because he was afraid of it.
Nope, never said that ;) Maybe I misunderstood your question. Sorry if I did. He was an important 'character', but also took position against some of the actions led by the Revolutionaries.
