The Revolt of Lyon against the rule of the National Convention was a counter-revolutionary rebellion that played a role in both the Federalist Revolts and the Reign of Terror during the period of the French Revolution (1789-1799). Beginning in May 1793, the revolt ended in bloodshed five months later, when government officials subjected Lyon to a brutal punitive slaughter. https://www.worldhistory.org/Revolt_of_Lyon/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #RevoltOfLyon #ReignOfTerror #FederalistRevolts
