  3. The French Revolution The National Assembly and War

  4. BY DEMAND REVIEW: The First Part of the French Revolution • Key Points: • 1) The Estates General (Meeting that took place at Versailles) • 2) Revolution propaganda: Abbe Sieyes (What is the third Estate) • 3) National Assembly (The 97%) • 4) The Tennis Court Oath (Always & Forever) • 5) Storming of the Bastille (Violence breaks out)

  5. Fun fact of the day… • In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, most French citizens ate two pounds of bread each day. TWO POUNDS = CARB LOAD

  6. I want to talk about Women involvement: The March on Versailles • After the estate general/storm of bastille: • The people were still hungry • So on Oct 5, 1789, a group of women began to protest • They felt that the King was oblivious to their reality (He lived at Versailles) • They decided to go to Versailles and bring the King back to Paris • As they marched, they were joined by many others (7000 in total)

  7. The Kings troops did not stop them, in fact some of them joined the protest • Some of the women attempted to kill Marie Antoinette • Louis agreed to go back to Paris and live in the Tuileries Palace to prevent bloodshed

  8. Why are these relevant? What is it? Why did they want to Break into it? Who are the 97%?

  9. Why are these relevant? WHO? WHY? (Grievances)

  10. Where we left off . . . • The King had granted power to the National Assembly after the Bastille was stormed • Hungry Women Flip out • The life of the National Assembly had been saved/created by violence • Problems linger in France: • The root problem (starvation) had not been addressed so the people are still angry This is not the end of the French Revolution. In fact, it Is only the beginning

  11. So What now? What do you think? National Assembly is in power How do you think Europe Reacts? How about the starving people in France? How About the nobility and clergy in France? Most importantly, how does the National Assembly reform France? What can they do?

  12. literally and figuratively

  13. A person who has “migrated out” The Flight of the Émigrés • French Nobility/clergy migrate out of France • Horrified by what they are seeing, Nobles from all over France flee to sympathetic countries (Austria, Russia and several German States) • The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia threaten war against France if the Louis is harmed in any way Why do you think they Disliked the French Revolution?

  14. The National Assembly • The National Assembly was very aggressive in Modernizing France, they immediately started to reform the country • Some examples of what they did: - They created a constitution that… • Abolished Feudalism and all Noble Privileges (peasants were freed from seigneurial obligations such as paying taxes, building towns)

  15. Funny Enough… What’s the difference? Technology Food Middle Class The French Revolution Was at the right place, at The right time

  16. Phase 2: The declaration of the Rights of Man • Defined the Declaration of the Rights of Man • Equivalent to the U.S Constitution (I plead the fifth) • Statement of principle and hope that reflects ideas of the Enlightenment • What does it say: • - Men are born and remain free and equal, no social distinction • -Rights of liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression • -Law of general will (of the many)

  17. Wow Mr. Alonzi, that’s so interesting. • Please, tell me more…

  18. The National Assembly & The Church • Confiscated church property (priests paid by state)and sold • - Priests are conflicted, forced to swear loyalty to France not Rome • - Church is no longer KING

  19. Finally; • Military • - Military forced were re-organized under committees of Soldier and Sailors (prevented Louis from using the Army) • -Revised the Justice System (no imaginary crimes)

  20. THESE ARE PRECAUTIONS NO MORE ANCIEN REGIME

  21. Who was a part of the National Assembly? • The Assembly was made up of 4 main groups • On the right side of the hall sat the Feullants(conservatives who still supported the monarchy) • In the Middle sat the Marsh (moderates) • On the Left side sat the Girodins and the Jacobins MOST IMPORTANT

  22. Girdodins and the Jacobins • The Girodins were more liberal and wanted major change within France • The Jacobins were extremely Radical, they wanted to completely remove the King and establish a republic. They pushed for fast and sweeping changes • Important to know that the: • Jacobins were extremely popular with France's working class

  23. So now we have a National Assembly that supposedly represented the people, a constitution, the removal of the church, angry European empires, a starving nation, and a King who continues to pick locks Seriously.. You won’t You won’t guess what comes next….

  24. War!, in their view: • The National Assembly was in serious trouble • They faced a starving population, a radical working class that wanted even more rights and privileges, economic disaster and threats from almost every major power in Europe (threat invasion by the émigrés scares them) • Yet they declare war on ALL of France’s enemies . . . Practically all of Europe (including Prussia, Austria, Britain, Russia) • WHY? • They wanted to take some of Austria’s wealth and spread the ideals of the revolution

  25. The war goes very badly, the Army is disorganized without the leadership of the nobility • They are completely outnumbered at every turn It’s important to know that the Girodins were in favor of the war and the Jacobins were not

  26. With So much unrest, what does king Louis do…

  27. Louis flight to Varennes • Louis had lost control of his country • With no military support and at the mercy of the Paris Mob, Louis Decides to leave (after a lot of indecisiveness) • He attempts to escape the country in the night (disguised) • He is found and is forced to return to Paris • Louis is now seen as a Traitor to France by many revolutionaries Where do you think he was trying to go?

  28. What to do with the King? • When the King returned to Paris he was attacked by the Paris mob • Again, the National assembly was forced to use violence to save the king • They disband and a new National Convention was formed (could operate freely without the King) • The National Convention was mostly run by Girodins and Jacobins • The Girodins wished to protect the king • The Jacobins wanted to execute him as a traitor • A major power struggle ensues

  29. A) Kill him • B) Send him away • C) Leave him be • D) Leave him be and feed him cake • E) Just go to the next slide Alonzi

  30. ILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID… AFTER In fear of losing the war and the reversal of the revolution caused the government to lose support, the Radical Jacobins gained control of the government (Sans-Cullotes)

  31. ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHO WERE THE SANS-CULLOTES? • Radical left-wing partisans of the lower classes; typically urban labourers, which dominated France • They supported the Jacobins • SYMBOLIC GESTURE AGAINST les culottes (silk knee-breeches) of the moderate bourgeois • The working class, sans-culottes, traditionally wore pantalons (trousers) More next class

  32. SO WHAT HAPPENS TO LOUIS?

  33. The Jacobins win and Louis and Marie are executed

  34. The Jacobins are now in total control
