5.2 From terror to new laws

Why could the reign of terror take place

Louis XVI

Louis flees after the constitution
is written. 

The people are furious and Louis
gets sentenced for treason.

--> France is now a republic.

Lodewijk wordt onthoofd

januari 1793

De Jakobijnen ontdekken de geheime briefwisseling tussen Lodewijk 

en de Oostenrijkse keizer, en oordelen: "Hoogveraad!"

De koning wordt ter dood veroordeeld en terechtgesteld in Parijs.

Robespierre

When the king dies, someone new takes power: Robespierre.

He was a radical. That means he wanted:

• big, quick changes
• more power to the people

Everyone who did not agree was killed by the 

guillotine: the Reign of Terror

Marie Antoinette was greatly hated by the people.

This was mainly due to her luxurious lifestyle and the

large amounts of money she spent on

her court, clothes and jewellery.

Marat was one of the leaders of the Terror.

Due to a skin disease, he spent much his day in a bath. There he also received visitors. One of these visitors, Charlotte Corday, an opponent, stabbed him to death during one such visit: "It is done, the monster is dead''.

Unfortunately, in response to the assassination, thousands of opponents were murdered.

'The Radical's Arm's' (1819) - George Cruikshank.

In de driekleurige lint staat geschreven 'Geen God! Geen Religie! Geen Koning! Geen Consitutie!'

Spotprent in het eind van de 18e eeuw waarop Robespierre, nadat alle Franse zijn geëxecuteerd, de valbijl (guillotine) laat vallen voor de beul.

Arise, children of the Fatherland,

The day of glory has arrived!

Against us stands tyranny

Her bloody standard has been raised

Do you hear, in the countryside,

The roar of those ferocious soldiers?

They come right into your arms

To tear the throats of your sons, your wives!

To arms, citizens,

Form your battalions,

Let's March, let's march!

So that an impure

blood waters our furrows!

Maxime Robespierre

de Guillotine

De Marseillaise - het officiële volkslied van Frankrijk

Allons enfants de la Patrie,

Le jour de gloire est arrivé!

Contre nous de la tyrannie

L'étendard sanglant est levé, 

Entendez-vous dans les campagnes

Mugir ces féroces soldats ?

Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras

Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !

 

Aux armes, citoyens,

Formez vos bataillons,

Marchons, marchons !

Qu'un sang impur

Abreuve nos sillons !
