Revolutionary paroxysms January 1793- December 1794

Résumé du document

After removal of the Girondins, the Highlanders dominated the Assembly. Since August 23, the Jacobins are circulating a petition demanding exceptional measures against the suspects, and making the agenda of the Terror. On September 4, sans-culottes demanded bread in front of City Hall. Chaumette and Hebert guide the event to the Convention. On September 5, the Convention places the Terror to the agenda.

The execution of Louis XVI showed the threat posed by the French. England is now at the forefront since the events in Paris interfere in internal political struggles, prompting the sympathy of the Whigs.
