Slide 4
The National Assembly and War
Slide 5
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)
Slide 6
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
Slide 7
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)
Slide 8
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
Slide 9
Why are these relevant? What is it? Why did they want to Break
into it? Who are the 97%?
Slide 10
Why are these relevant? WHO? WHY? (Grievances)
Slide 11
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
Slide 12
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?
Slide 13
literally and figuratively
Slide 14
The Flight of the migrs 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 A
person who has migrated out Why do you think they Disliked the
French Revolution?
Slide 15
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)
Slide 16
Funny Enough Whats the difference? Technology Food Middle Class
The French Revolution Was at the right place, at The right
time
Slide 17
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)
Slide 18
Wow Mr. Alonzi, thats so interesting. Please, tell me more
Slide 19
-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 The National Assembly & The
Church
Slide 20
- 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) Finally;
Slide 21
NO MORE ANCIEN REGIME THESE ARE PRECAUTIONS
Slide 22
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
Slide 23
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
Slide 24
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 You wont guess what comes next. Seriously.. You
wont
Slide 25
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 migrs scares them) Yet they declare war on ALL of Frances
enemies... Practically all of Europe (including Prussia, Austria,
Britain, Russia) WHY? They wanted to take some of Austrias wealth
and spread the ideals of the revolution
Slide 26
They are completely outnumbered at every turn The war goes very
badly, the Army is disorganized without the leadership of the
nobility Its important to know that the Girodins were in favor of
the war and the Jacobins were not
Slide 27
With So much unrest, what does king Louis do
Slide 28
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?
Slide 29
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
Slide 30
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
Slide 31
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) ILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY
DID AFTER
Slide 32
-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 bourgeoissilk knee-breeches
bourgeois - The working class, sans-culottes, traditionally wore
pantalons (trousers)working classpantalons ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW
WHO WERE THE SANS-CULLOTES? More next class
