The Fall of Robespierre - The French Revolution

Maximilien Robespierre, 6 May 1758 - 28 July 1794
One of the most influential figures during the Revolution, Robespierre was originally a lawyer who was elected into the Estates-General and then served as part of the National Constituent Assembly, which had been formed from the National Assembly in 1789. He became popular with the people for his virulent attacks on the monarchy and calls for democratic reform.
In 1790, Robespierre became the president of the radical Jacobin Club and then first deputy for Paris to the National Convention. The Convention abolished the monarchy, declared France a republic, and charged Louis XVI with treason.
A power struggle ensued between the Jacobins and the more moderate Girondins. The Jacobins used their influence with the mob to seize control, and leaders of the Girondins were rounded up. The Committee of Public Safety took control of France, with Robespierre becoming its leading force.
The Reign of Terror was now underway. Anyone considered an enemy of the Revolution was guillotined, including Robespierre’s former friend Georges Danton. Some 17,000 people were officially executed during the 11 months of the Terror, as Robespierre attempted to consolidate his power.
This dangerous time is often remembered as Robespierre’s defining act during the Revolution - but he would soon encounter a fall from grace. Robespierre’s autocratic rule soon saw his popularity diminish - he had even tried to establish a new national religion known as the Cult of the Supreme Being. A plan was hatched by the Convention to overthrow him. On 27 July 1794, after some resistance, Robespierre was arrested after being denounced as a tyrant in a counter-revolution that became known as the Thermidorian Reaction. During the scuffle he was shot in the jaw - it’s unclear whether Robespierre shot himself or was shot by one of his captors.
The next day, Robespierre and 21 of his supporters were sent to the guillotine. The executioner tore off the bandage covering his jaw, causing him to cry out in agony before the falling blade silenced him forever. According to witnesses, the crowd cheered for 15 minutes at his demise.
What happened next?
Robespierre’s death ushered in a period known as the White Terror, during which the familiesof those killed during the Reign of Terror enacted their revenge. It was followed, in October 1795, by a royalist revolt against the National Convention - quashed by a young general called Napoleon Bonaparte.

Coming from the same people who applied this medicine with him to the French. What makes Robespierre still respected in France is that he was never an opportunist like Danton, the King's own cousin and all members of the National Convention. The Terror lasted another two years, but was now the "White Terror": anti-Jacobin politicians pursuing the policy against their new opponents.

Republican France was surrounded by enemies, both within and from abroad. Those executed were enemies of the Republic. A good 40,000 or so dead is a small price to pay for the survival f the Republic against the monarchists and foreigners looking to subvert the government of the people. Large numbers of fifth columnists must be liquidated as part of any revolution. The only unfortunate part was Robespierre falling before he could completely liquidate the enemies of the revolution. As a result, France eventually slipped back to the monarchist camp.

Funny how in the comments the Americans shout the loudest about Robbespiere and "how evil" he was, forgetting that he actually is a divisive character in France. He was for democracy for all citizens, to abolish the death penalty, and abolish the atlantic slave trade. Ah, and there we have the real reason they hate him, or where the seeds of it lay in their education about the man. Napoleon (who also is divisive as a character) gets a similar treatment. Even though he reinstated slavery, he also did good and bad. Neither of these men were "pure evil". French revolutionary politics is incredibly interesting :) After all the period that followed after his death was also a terror period that killed thousands. This time from the conservative point anti left wing point. It would serve those that call Robespierre a monster, to read up on the whole of history. As really it is bloody all around, but interesting to an extreme.

Half assed attempt at ending slavery, and pretending to be protecting democracy (when robby was actually destroying it by acting as a tyrant) does not erase the horrific murders he committed. At least Napoleon made France great and he was respected almost universally in France. Robespierre only had supporters in Paris, everyone else (yes even the poorest sans culottes) hated and feared his guts because he was murdering his fellow revolutionaries and acting like a power grabbing tyrant in essence a bloodthirsty king

[@goatcheezius2399]

I think we Americans tend to see him wanting to abolish the death penalty but still using it as immensely hypocritical because we have a different outlook on law as something individuals with power or juries can nulify if we personally disagree with it. And then we tend to like Napolean because he killed more of his foes on the field rather than through the courts. We have more of a "frontier" mentality to put it politely.

saint just is not his brother

[@pierreclinton]

@@Valentina-qx1ul the real Louis Antoine de Saint Just died with the real Maximilien Robespierre and others years ago by the guillotine and I think 🤔 think it’s Augustin Robespierre who is his real brother and I looked up and I studied about French Revolution years ago when I was in a library and I also realized that his sister Charlotte whose real name is Marie is a writer I looked up was the last surviving member of the family who outlived her brothers Maximilien and Augustin escaped and changed her name but she was arrested years ago and was sent to prison before she died in August 1. 1834 and that’s how I studied and remembered about French Revolution years ago and that’s the truth I’m telling you nicely about and thank you 🙏 for replying to me and letting me know I heard you the first time nicely I haven’t forgot yet and my apologies I thought Saint Just was his brother now I remember and I have good 😊 memories Lolatitine.👍🇺🇸💯

[@Valentina-qx1ul]

@@pierreclinton I thought that Augustin, Maximilien and Charlotte were siblings and that Auguatin died the same way Maximilien did and that Charlotte was caught but was released upon further questioning and died when she was in her sixties. And Saint-Just was not part of the Robespierre faily since he was born like 2 years after the death of Maximiliens mother.

"If the mainspring of popular government in peacetime is virtue, amid revolution it is at the same time both virtue and terror: virtue, without which terror is fatal; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is nothing but prompt, severe, inflexible justice; it is therefore an emanation of virtue. It is less a special principle than a consequence of the general principle of democracy applied to our country's most pressing needs. It has been said that terror was the mainspring of despotic government. Does your government, then, resemble a despotism? Yes, as the sword which glitters in the hands of liberty's heroes resembles the one with which tyranny's lackeys are armed. Let the despot govern his brutalized subjects by terror; he is right to do this, as a despot. Subdue liberty's enemies by terror, and you will be right, as founders of the Republic. The government of the revolution is the despotism of liberty against tyranny. Is force made only to protect crime? And is it not to strike the heads of the proud that lightning is destined? To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to pardon them is barbarity. The rigor of tyrants has only rigor for a principle; the rigor of the republican government comes from charity." - Maximilien Robespierre

The acting is pretty bad because I imagine the real version involving both sides being far more unhinged.

The one that can't walk......why do I find it funny he just had a guy carry him around like Martin SHort in Arrested Development

Wasn't he executed facing upwards so he could see the guillotine coming down?

Terrible of me maybe... but with all those men shouting, all I'm hearing is "Count the Money! Count the Money!"

[@2ksoulja]

y’all forgot how robespierre tried to shoot himself and shot his jaw off instead, then tried to jump to another building like spiderman and instead fell in an open sewer so they found him with his jaw hanging on the side of his mouth covered in shit, and when he was executed they tied his jaw back on
