Did You Know?The Origin of Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum
In the 1780’s, Marie Tussaud ran two wax museums in Paris and was art tutor to Louis XVI’s sister.

They granted suffrage, or the right to vote, to all male citizens, not just to property owners
Don’t have this?
No Longer a Problem!!
The convention set out to erase all traces of the old order. It voted to abolish the monarchy and declare France a republic. The Jacobins, who controlled the Convention, seized lands of nobles and abolished titles of nobility.
King of France, Louis XVI is publicly executed for treason

By early 1793, France was at war with most of Europe.
Within France, peasants and workers were in rebellion against the government.
Fighting with Everyone!
The Convention itself was bitterly divided.

O THE TERROR!
Under the guidance of Maximilien Robespierre some 40,000 people were
executed at the guillotine. (in just 10 months)
The Reign of Terror lasted from about July 1793 to July 1794.
AAHHHHH!!!
Some Scary Stats
Anyone who had ever criticized the Revolution or who had had any connection to the Old Order was in danger.
The guillotine was so efficient that the executioner could execute more than one person per minute..
Executions became so common in Paris that residents complained about the blood overflowing the city’s drainage ditches
Eventually Robespierre Gets the Blade
Once he was gone, the amount of executions and imprisonments dropped significantly.
In reaction to the Reign of Terror, moderates created another Constitution, the third since 1789.
The Constitution of 1795 set up a five-man Directory and a two-house legislature.
Where Do We Go From Here?
Women of all classes participated in the revolution from the very beginning.
Many women were very disappointed when the Declaration of the Rights of Man did not grant equal citizenship to women.

Women did gain some rights for a time. (Own property and to divorce their husbands)

Nationalism, a strong feeling of pride and devotion to one’s country, spread throughout France.
New symbols, such as the tricolor emerged.
