  7. French Revolution - Opposition to the Revolution and the Terror http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNHbMiUY8PA

  8. The beginnings… The main the reason why the Terror began was to defend France against internal and external enemies. France was at war with most of Europe and the foreign armies had began invading France’s territory and so they had to make the Revolution as strong as possible to avoid defeat to a foreign power. They could only do this by making sure internally France was as strong as possible. So all counter-revolutionaries were to be rooted out and sent to the guillotine.

  9. Internal Enemies Anyone that spoke out against the Revolution or said any words in support of the monarchy would be killed. A particular area of concern was the Vendee. This area was pretty much engaged in a civil war against government forces as they have refused to be conscripted into the French army. It is this area at first that bore the brunt of government by terror.

  10. External Enemies Foreign powers were now on France’s soil. It was thought that if France was free from internal enemies then they could withstand an attack from foreign powers. It was also thought that the emigres in Austria would see that France was weak and use this as a chance to bring back the Bourbon monarchy.

  11. The Machinery of the Terror When setting up government by terror the Convention had three objectives to ensure its survival; What might its aims have been?

  12. The Machinery of the Terror When setting up government by terror the Convention had three objectives to ensure its survival; To identify, place under observation, and punish suspects To make government more effective and ensure that its orders were carried out To meet at least some of the demands of the sans-culottes.

  13. Committee of General Security The CGS would take responsibility of the Convention’s first objective to find and punish suspects. This was done through various different bodies; Revolutionary Tribunal, representatives on mission, Surveillance committees and the Summary execution decree.

  14. Committee of Public Safety The CPS was given the task of addressing the Convention’s second and third objective. To make government more effective and to meet some of the demands of the sans-culottes. The CPS basically set aside the power of the Convention's ministers and took their place making all the important decisions in government and ruling France

  15. Exam Question Explain why the Committee of Public Safety was created in France in April 1793. (12 marks) Visit me! I’m lonely!!

  16. The Overthrow of the Girondins The Jacobins had asked the Girondins to stop attacking the Parisian sans-culottes but to no avail. So Robespierre told the sans-culottes to rise up against the corrupt Girondins. On 2nd June 80,000 National Guardsmen surrounded the Assembly and a maximum price was imposed on all essential goods. To avoid seizure of power, the Convention was compelled to agree to the arrest of 29 Girondin deputies and two ministers.

  17. The New Committee of Public Safety After the 2nd June most deputies feared and distrusted the Jacobins because of the way that they dealt with the Girondins. But they did not want to see the Republic overthrown. So they were reluctant accomplices to the Jacobins. When a new CPS was formed in July and September 1793 the 12 members were either Jacobins or deputies of the Plain who had joined them. The new committee was to be the first strong government since the Revolution began. Arrest warrant of Danton

  18. Maximilian Robespierre He joined the CPS in July 1793 and he was expected to provide link between the middle-class Jacobins and the sans-culottes. He was known as the ‘incorruptible’ as he did not seek power for himself and he put his country above all other considerations.
