Paper Summary:
This paper reviews the so-called Reign of Terror in France from 1789 to 1799. The author details King Louis XVI's attempts -- and failings -- at financial reform and the public's increasing resentment of the monarchy's lavish lifestyle. It then examines the development of the radical Montagnards, which opposed the monarchy and pushed to try King Louis for treason in 1793.From the Paper:
"From 1789 to 1799 France was in a state of revolution that resulted in the overthrow of the monarchy and radical changes in the structure of the French government. The monarchy and nobility, along with the officials of the church and the middle class had been unable to deal with the problems that had been seething among the poor. Peasants were taxed exorbitantly and the working class was impoverished."More papers on The Reign of Terror:
