Jean-Baptiste Jourdan (1762-1833) was a French general who held significant commands in the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) and the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). He won a major victory for the French Republic at the Battle of Fleurus in 1794 and was among the first 14 men to be appointed marshal of the empire by Napoleon I in 1804. #History #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #BattleOfFleurus #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Jean-Baptiste_Jourdan/

The Battle of Fleurus (26 June 1794) was the climax of the Flanders Campaign of 1792-95 and was one of the most decisive battles in the War of the First Coalition (1792-1797). A French victory, Fleurus ensured French ascendency for the rest of the war, leading to France's conquest of Belgium and to the destruction of the Dutch Republic. #History #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #BatavianRepublic #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2213/battle-of-fleurus/

The French must find what is happening in the #UK so familiar - we are in our own, very #english version of the #reignOfTerror they experienced some 300 years ago

Have slaughtered the ancien Regime , the sans-culottes of #brexit are busy looking for other dragons to guillottine and settled on any and all European institutions for their wrath

The French Directory, or Directorate (French: le Directoire ), was the government of France from 2 November 1795 until 9 November 1799, a period that spanned the last four years of the French Revolution (1789-1799). The Directory was unpopular, despite military successes, and faced economic crises and social unrest. It was ultimately toppled in the Coup of 18 Brumaire. https://www.worldhistory.org/French_Directory/ #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #FrenchDirectory #History

Louis-Antoine de Saint-Just (1767-1794) was a prominent figure of the French Revolution (1789-1799). After his election to the National Convention in September 1792, he led the push for the execution of King Louis XVI of France (r. 1774-1792) and was instrumental in the drafting of radical Jacobin legislation like the Ventôse Decrees and the Constitution of 1793. https://www.worldhistory.org/Louis-Antoine_de_Saint-Just/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #BattleOfFleurus

Georges Jacques Danton (1759-1794) was a French lawyer who became a prominent leader of the French Revolution (1789-1799). Danton played a major role in the overthrow of the French monarchy and the subsequent establishment of the First French Republic. He eventually took a moderate stance and opposed the Reign of Terror, leading to his execution on 5 April 1794. https://www.worldhistory.org/Georges_Danton/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #GeorgesDanton #FrenchRevolution

The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a period of major societal and political upheaval in France. It witnessed the collapse of the monarchy, the establishment of the First French Republic, and culminated in the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the start of the Napoleonic era. The French Revolution is considered one of the defining events of Western history. https://www.worldhistory.org/French_Revolution/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #LouisXVIOfFrance #FrenchRevolution

Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre (1758-1794) was a French lawyer who became one of the primary leaders of the French Revolution (1789-1799). From his initial rise to stardom in the Jacobin Club, Robespierre went on to dominate the powerful Committee of Public Safety and oversee the Reign of Terror. He was overthrown and guillotined on 28 July 1794. https://www.worldhistory.org/Maximilien_Robespierre/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #Jacobins

The Battle of Wattignies was a significant battle in the War of the First Coalition, part of the wider French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802). It was fought on 15-16 October 1793 between a ragtag army of the First French Republic and a professional army of the Coalition. A French victory, the battle hindered the Coalition's encroachment onto French soil. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2138/battle-of-wattignies/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #BattleOfMenin #Coburg

The Battle of Hondschoote, fought on 6-8 September 1793, was a major turning point in the Flanders Campaign of 1792-1795 during the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802). An army of the First French Republic defeated an Anglo-Hanoverian force commanded by the Duke of York, thereby relieving the Siege of Dunkirk, and potentially saving the French Revolution (1789-1799) from early destruction. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2137/battle-of-hondschoote/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #FirstCoalition #FrenchRevolution

@LRBristol @TJ1001

Well we differ - I do not consider #politicalAlignment a branch of morality, and I think it dangerous when people do

Perhaps if England had suffered a #reignOfTerror like post-revolutonary France or the Gulags like Stalinist Russia you might think differently

No party has a monopoly on morality

@noharmpun

The #guillotine example is actually pretty perfect because yes, that was what happened. Mass executions in which the powerless were executed to satisfy the #bloodthirst of the #mob. There's a reason it was referred to as the #ReignOfTerror.

And when marginalized groups who tend to be executed in these "#revolutions" express concern about mass violence from their neighbours, this is the rationale used: your fear is justification for your #execution.

Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville (1754-1793) was a French journalist, abolitionist, and politician who played a prominent role in the French Revolution (1789-1799). A leader of the Girondins, a moderate political faction, Brissot was instrumental in embroiling France in the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802). He was also known for founding the Amis des Noirs , a French abolitionist society. https://www.worldhistory.org/Jacques-Pierre_Brissot/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #FederalistRevolts #Abolition

Camille Desmoulins (1760-1794) was one of the most prominent journalists during the French Revolution (1789-1799). A fervent republican, he played an important role in the Storming of the Bastille, when he called the people to arms. Although initially a radical, Desmoulins criticized the excessive violence of the Reign of Terror, leading to his execution on 5 April 1794. https://www.worldhistory.org/Camille_Desmoulins/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #CamilleDesmoulins #Cordelier
