The Girondins were expelled from the National Convention on the 2nd of June. While colonialism and slavery flourished in the 18th century, the foundations of modern democracy were also being established. Internally, France faced the challenge of maintaining peace. 28 On the 27th of July, 1793, Robespierre and the Jacobin leaders were overthrown and sent to the guillotine. The palace of Versailles was built on the château, a rural location of a luxurious residence, of Louis XII.

Further effects of these class structures were seen in the subsequent Haitian revolution. Although the CPS had been established, the National Convention experienced conflict as a result of conflicting factions. Having previously financed French troops in the American war of independence, Necker had caused an accumulation of public debt. This prison was guarded by 18 canons, 12 artillery pieces, 32 grenadiers and 82 veteran soldiers. 22 Tension grew in France, and while the Tuileries was stormed, a revolutionary Commune initiated the massacre of 1200 counter-revolutionaries.

The Storming of the Bastille was led by ordinary people, and soon after, peasants in France became politically active.

It also played a role in triggering the Storming of the Bastille. 21 On the 12th of June, 1791, The King attempted to flee Versailles, but was captured in Varennes.

They were instrumental in leading a bread march to Versailles on the 5th of October 1789. Jacques Necker, France s finance minister, was a strong advocate for the merging of the estates. Word spread quickly about the fall of the Bastille, and prompted further uprisings across France. 23 Following this, France was declared a republic. In 10 months, as many as 20 000 citizens were executed for being enemies of the revolution. Subsequently, King Louis XIV fired Necker on the 11th of July.

  • The Beginning of the French Revolution
    New Dorp High School Social Studies Department AP Global Mr. Hubbs The Beginning of the French Revolution Causes of the French Revolution The finances of the French Empire were a major cause for revolution. By 1789, France was bankrupt. The king’s of France had abused their power and France became a victim of deficit spending. The French king began to borrow enormous amounts of money to pay for their spending and incurred debt. These debts were also a result of war. An example of this was by 1789; France was still paying off debts incurred by the wars of Louis XIV that occurred in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The country could no longer pay its debts, and the people of France began to suffer. Furthermore, a number of social groups and institutions did not pay taxes of any kind. Many universities were exempt from taxation as were the thirteen Parlements, cities like Paris, the Church and the clergy, the aristocracy and numerous member of the Bourgeoisie. And of course, it was simply brilliant planning to continue to tax the peasants- peasants who, having nothing to contribute were, over the course of the century, forced to contribute even more. The French social structure was divided into three estates. The First Estate was made up of the clergy. The clergy were a very privileged group and had a number of responsibilities. They included the registration of births, marriages and deaths, they collected the tithe (usually 10%); they censored books; served as moral police; operated schools and hospitals; and distributed relief to the poor.

The Fall of the Bastille: The Voice and Power of Paris Harold Lowery History 102: Western Civilization II May 13th, 2014 The Fall of the Bastille: The Voice and Power of Paris When the research began into the fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, which has been called the beginning of the French Revolution that led to the fall of Louis XVI, the events that culminated in the storming of the Bastille was the combination of massive failures in agriculture, the use of military force in Paris, and the nobility’s efforts to undermine the commoners. The goal of this paper is to show the lengths humanity will go to bring about change and explain how the combinations of these events led to the storming of the Bastille. Prior to the fall of the Bastille, life within France was not one of commonality, "For all the patriots' talk about 'the nation,' there was little in the social and economic life of that nation that bound it together. Life experience was quite limited."[1] The statement shows the immensity of the events of July 14, which unified classes of people who had little in common before.

Even during his lifetime, the French revolutionary Girondin leader Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville’s reputation was tarnished by allegations that, before 1789, he was a swindler, police spy, and political pornographer. These charges resurfaced in 1968 in a celebrated article by Robert Darnton, which found miscellaneous, fragmentary evidence to support them, above all in the papers of the pre-revolutionary police chief, Lenoir. Although Darnton’s view has been challenged by several historians, no critic has supplied any substantive new evidence, and hence the Brissot debate remains mired in assertions and counter- assertions. This article finally offers such evidence, drawing both on Darnton’s main source, the Lenoir papers, and on sources unavailable to him in 1968, notably records of Brissot’s Lice´e de Londres and his embastillement, now on deposit in the Archives Nationales.

  • Sans-Culottes and the Part That They Played in Tthe French Revolution.1 It Is Also a Book About Rousseau, And, No Less Centrally, a Book About Salons
    �1� INTRODUCTION: “ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING PAIRS OF BREECHES RECORDED IN MODERN HISTORY” HIS is a book about the sans-culottes and the part that they played in Tthe French Revolution.1 It is also a book about Rousseau, and, no less centrally, a book about salons. Its aim is to try to show how the three subjects were connected, and by doing so, to begin to piece together the historical and intellectual setting in which the republican politics of the French Revolution first acquired their content and shape. This, in the first instance, entails going back quite a long way into the eighteenth century. It also involves trying to get behind many of the events and images now associated with what the sans-culottes became. These centre mainly on the crowds who stormed the Bastille in Paris in July 1789 and, more specifically, on the mixture of direct democracy and physical force that, according to an established range of historical interpretations, either was orchestrated deliberately or erupted spontaneously among the artisans and small shop­ keepers of urban France during the violent period of political conflict that occurred after the Parisian insurrection of 10 August 1792, and the trial and execution of Louis XVI in January 1793. By then, France had become a republic and, again according to the same range of established historical interpretations, the sans-culottes are usually described either as its social and political vanguard, or as the largely unwitting instruments of its Jacobin­ dominated politics.2 In one guise or another, however, the sans-culottes 1 It is also an attempt to correct some of the gaps or mistakes in Michael Sonenscher, “The Sans-Culottes of the Year II: Rethinking the Language of Labour in Revolutionary France,” Social History 9 (1984): 301–28; Work and Wages: Politics, Natural Law and the Eighteenth- Century French Trades (Cambridge, CUP, 1989), ch.

  • The Life and Times of Francois-Henri De Montmorency-Boutteville, Duke
    King William’s Nemesis - The Life and Times of Francois-Henri de Montmorency- Boutteville, Duke of Luxemburg, Marshal of France Synopsis In a purple passage in his once famous History of England, Lord Macaulay referred to ‘the hunch backed dwarf who urged forward the fiery onset of France, and the asthmatic skeleton who covered the slow retreat of England’. The words are part of a florid description of the battle of Landen which took place in July 1693, and resulted in a French triumph. The victorious commander was the Marshal-Duke of Luxemburg, the subject of this book, the vanquished was William, Prince of Orange, Stadtholder of the United Provinces, and King of England, Scotland and Ireland. The preceding two decades had seen many battles contested by armies led by the two, and the title above implies the usual outcome. In total, they were directly opposed in nearly a dozen major engagements, and King William never achieved a victory, though such was his resilience that he was never forced to leave the field for long. He was a towering figure of his age, changing British and European history not least by checking the ambitions of Louis XIV, but it was his fondest wish to be remembered as a great general; he is not, largely because he so often came up against one who was, namely the Marshal-Duke of Luxemburg. This is an account of Luxemburg’s long and almost entirely successful military career, which began in the train of another great French general, the Prince of Condé, in 1647 and ended in 1694 with a well conducted campaign of manoeuvre, a few months before his sudden death.

  • Man in the Iron Mask Study Guide
    Synopsis A swashbuckling action adventure ‘The Man in the Iron Mask’ reunites the legendary Three Musketeers to once again defend the throne of France. When the Musketeers join forces to rescue a mysterious masked prisoner in the infamous Bastille Prison, they reveal a long held secret that could end the King’s reign and destroy their enduring alliance. In a dual role, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as King Louis XIV and ‘The Man in the Iron Mask’. The Three Musketeers are played by John Malkovich (Athos), Gerard Depardieu (Porthos) and Jeremy Irons (Aramis). Gahriel Byrne plays d’Artagnan, the famous Captain of the Musketeers. Director Randall Wallace UK release date March 20, 199R Certificate 12 Running time 132 mins History Now and Then When Alexandre Dumas wrote the stories involving the Musketeers - Athos, Porthos, Aramis and d’Artagnan - there must have been something attractive about the period in which he set his stories. Dumas was looking for a time in history which might have reflected some of the concerns of his own time. He was also looking for stories which would make ‘ripping yarns’. · Is this the same for historians and historical novelists today? Are the periods and subjects that they study simply chosen because they themselves are interested in them or do they have a relevance? Perhaps an ‘echo’ of what is happening in the world today! · What about your history studies? Why do you think you are studying the periods in history that you are? TASKS Look at some of the historical novels that are popular at the moment, for example the Sharpe series.

  • Rights of Man
    Rights of Man :: An Answer to Mr. Burke’s Attack on the French Revolution 1791 Thomas Paine Among the incivilities by which nations or individuals provoke and irritate each other, Mr. Burke’s pamphlet on the French Revolution is an extraordinary instance. Neither the People of France, nor the National Assembly, were troubling themselves about the affairs of England, or the English Parliament; and that Mr. Burke should commence an unprovoked attack upon them, both in Parliament and in public, is a conduct that cannot be pardoned on the score of manners, nor justified on that of policy. There is scarcely an epithet of abuse to be found in the English language, with which Mr. Burke has not loaded the French Nation and the National Assembly. Everything which rancour, prejudice, ignorance or knowledge could suggest, is poured forth in the copious fury of near four hundred pages. In the strain and on the plan Mr. Burke was writing, he might have written on to as many thousands. When the tongue or the pen is let loose in a frenzy of passion, it is the man, and not the subject, that becomes exhausted. Hitherto Mr. Burke has been mistaken and disappointed in the opinions he had formed of the affairs of France; but such is the ingenuity of his hope, or the malignancy of his despair, that it furnishes him with new pretences to go on. There was a time when it was impossible to make Mr. Burke believe there would be any Revolution in France. His opinion then was, that the French had neither spirit to undertake it nor fortitude to support it; and now that there is one, he seeks an escape by condemning it.
