#CAUSES OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY CALENDAR FULL#

The entrenchment of the bureaucracy of the syndicalist wing of the вЂњConfГ©dГ©ration GГ©nГ©rale du TravailвЂќ - commonly known as the вЂњTravailleursвЂќ had come to sap the vitality of the revolutionary movement itself. Over time, what was once seen as the home of the revolution and a shining beacon of light in an often grim time for European socialists, became a shadow of its original promise. The aftermath of the revolution was a difficult time for the French nation. So without further ado, letвЂ™s jump straight into the country I am bringing you news of, the birthplace of the Second European Revolution and the country that has suffered the most during the Great Revolutionary War, the French Communal Republic. Enjoy!Д«onjour, this is Fenia, your Most Beloved Queen of Syria (and ironically your French dev), starting up what is our first transmission in quite a while. We will start with France and Britain, the two most powerful nations of the International WorkersвЂ™ Armed Forces. As such weвЂ™ve assembled the leaders, governments, parties and spirits of France, Britain, Italy, Iberia, Germany and the Mandates of Belgium and the Netherlands for you.

Our next few transmissions we will be presenting to you the socialist nations of north and western Europe, providing an overview of how they got where they are (later full reports will contain trees, events - these shall not). These transmissions will be вЂliteвЂ™, as weвЂ™re not a very large team and we have other commitments, and what with the chaos of recent weeksвЂ¦ well, you get it. Welcome to our third transmission for the mod! ItвЂ™s been a few months since our last one, and you can expect this to be a little bit different. > So what are those Enlightenment ideas? The Twelve were religious believers, adherents of th I really should have been more thorough, and much more alarmed when they unironically put, 'Social Justice Warrior' as one of their tags. Also, why you gotta do the Revolutionary Calendar like that? It was awesome. I'm not so sure that the Girondins were suddenly arrested in a few days, it was a pretty long process. I'm sorry? This seems like a pretty huge oversimplification. (Those three were Maximilien Robespierre and his two closest allies, Antoine Saint-Just and Georges Couthon the exact interaction of Robespierre and the other members of the Committee is still hotly debated, but he was clearly the leader at that point.) Thus, the purges culminated in the вЂњThermidorean ReactionвЂќ of July, 1794, in which a combination of those members of the Convention more moderate and more radical than the Committee, both fearing they would be the next to go, executed three members of the Committee and then dismantled it entirely. By this point everyone active in politics not in the CommitteeвЂ™s camp figured it was only a matter of time before the guillotine would come for him (or her-the Committee went in heavily for executing women, as well as men, for political opposition). Each one was made easier by law, culminating in the вЂњLaw of 22 PrairialвЂќ (the irritating French Revolutionary calendar makes following dates hard thatвЂ™s June 10, 1794) which allowed anyone to be summarily tried for sedition on the vaguest of charges, without any lawyers or defense being allowed and the only possible verdict death or innocence. This began the pattern of subsequent purges, where as factions developed after each cleansing, their opponents would attempt to tar them with the brush of those who had been purged earlier, and so distinguishing oneself from those killed earlier became essential to survival. Just prior to the CommitteeвЂ™s formation, the вЂњmoderateвЂќ Girondists had been completely purged from the Convention, by the simple expedient of arrest and execution. > The CommitteeвЂ™s bloodthirstiness followed an exponentially rising arc. I thought, 'A long review for the book? Sounds like a fun time', it wasn't. I was just browsing through some reviews of The Twelve Who Ruled by R.R Palmer, and I stumbled upon this article.
