Robespierre was influential during the French Revolution. He was known as "The Incorruptible" and voted in favor of executing King Louis XVI. Robespierre then largely dominated the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror period, overseeing thousands of executions. However, Robespierre's law allowing executions on simple suspicion led the people to question his rule. After being accused of dictatorship, the Convention ordered Robespierre's arrest. When troops came to capture him, Robespierre tried to kill himself but only shattered his jaw. He was then guillotined without trial the next day.

Maximilien robespierre
Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) was a French lawyer and politician who became one of the most influential figures of the French Revolution. He was educated in Paris and became a lawyer like his father. Robespierre became known for his attacks on the monarchy and advocacy for democratic reforms. After the fall of the monarchy in 1792, he was elected to the National Convention where he helped abolish the monarchy and establish a French Republic. As a member of the Committee of Public Safety, Robespierre became the dominant force during the Reign of Terror, which eliminated those seen as enemies of the revolution. However, his growing autocracy became unpopular and he was arrested
Ancien regime i
The Ancien Regime was the social, political, and economic system that existed in Europe prior to the French Revolution. It was characterized by [1] a low-growth agrarian economy with a rigid social hierarchy, [2] absolute monarchies that centralized power, and [3] the estates system that divided society into privileged and unprivileged groups. In contrast, England developed a parliamentary monarchy that limited the king's power through institutions like the Magna Carta and Bill of Rights, establishing a model of governance that later influenced revolutionary ideas.
Hitler and Nazi Germany - the nazi government
Adolf Hitler took power in Germany in 1933 and established a totalitarian Nazi government, consolidating his control over time. He appointed key leaders to head major aspects of government, including Heinrich Himmler to oversee the SS and concentration camps, Joseph Goebbels as Minister of Propaganda, and Hermann Goering to head the secret police and air force. By 1936, Hitler had centralized power and aimed to prepare Germany for war within four years under the Office of the Four Year Plan. He abolished state governments, instead appointing his own regional governors to impose his rules across Germany.

English Civil War - Introduction
The English Civil War began in 1642 and was fought between the Royalists who supported King Charles I and the Parliamentarians. Charles I tried to establish absolute rule over England despite opposition from Parliament. This led to armed conflict between the two sides and Oliver Cromwell emerged as the leading Parliamentarian commander. Cromwell's forces defeated the Royalists in 1645 and Charles I was eventually captured and executed in 1649. England then became a republic led by Cromwell as Lord Protector, though his rule faced challenges. After Cromwell's death in 1658 the monarchy was restored, but Parliament's power had increased as a result of the civil war.
King Louis XVI
Louis XVI was King of France from 1774 until 1792. He was executed in 1793 during the French Revolution. As King, he presided over a period known as the Louis XVI style in furniture and interior design, characterized by neoclassical influences including straight lines, fluted columns, and classical figures. Queen Marie Antoinette was also influential in the Louis XVI style through her tastes, which included small, delicate furnishings.

Napoleón Bonaparte
Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 in Corsica and studied in a military academy in Paris. After the French Revolution began, he returned to Corsica but was exiled due to political rivalries. In Paris, Napoleon helped defeat revolts and was given command of an army, defeating the Austrians in Italy. However, after unsuccessful campaigns in Egypt and returning to find France in chaos, Napoleon staged a coup and became the ruler of France as First Consul. He later crowned himself Emperor but his attempts to defeat European powers through war eventually led to his defeat and exile.
The age of the liberal revolutions
The document provides an overview of the Age of Revolutions in Europe from the late 1700s through the early 1800s. It summarizes key events and developments including:
1) The causes of the French Revolution including debt, unfair taxation, Enlightenment ideas, and food shortages.

Interwar period
The documents discuss the global economic and political situation after World War 1. Europe was impoverished with debts while the US rose as an economic power. Germany and Italy were humiliated by the outcome of the war, fueling nationalist sentiments. Economic crisis and social unrest in the 1920s weakened democratic governments and paved the way for totalitarian regimes like fascism and Nazism to rise in Germany and Italy in the following decades.
The documents outline the economic difficulties facing European powers after World War 1 and the social and political instability this caused. It led to the rise of nationalist movements like fascism in Italy under Mussolini and Nazism in Germany under Hitler as democratic systems
The storming of bastille
The Bastille was a prison in Paris used by the king to imprison political opponents. On July 14, 1789, over 60,000 angry workers stormed the Bastille, capturing the governor and killing him. Though few prisoners were actually held there, this event showed that the king no longer had authority over the people and marked a key transition in power during the French Revolution. The storming of the Bastille had major long-term effects, weakening the nobility, transferring more power to the newly formed National Assembly, and inspiring further unrest that helped abolish feudalism in France.
Rise of napoleon
The document discusses the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. It describes the execution of King Louis XVI during the Reign of Terror led by the Jacobins. Maximilien Robespierre then rose to power as a dictator, but he was later overthrown and executed in 1794. The new government, called the Directory, was unstable. Napoleon Bonaparte emerged as a general and seized power in 1795, bringing stability as the first consul and later emperor. The question posed is to what extent the rise of Napoleon was an inevitable outcome of the instability and chaos caused by the French Revolution.
World War 1 Technology
World War 1 saw new technologies that increased lethality, such as machine guns and artillery. Machine guns allowed highly rapid and sustained fire, with water-cooled machine guns able to fire 600 bullets per minute. They proved devastating on the battlefield but overheated quickly. Artillery also became more advanced, such as Germany's "Big Bertha" that could hit Paris from over 100 km away. Both machine guns and artillery were primarily used simply to kill enemy combatants in large numbers and proved highly effective in trench warfare, where soldiers strained to reach cover from incoming fire.
French revolution & napoleon
The document provides an overview of the French Revolution from 1789-1815 and Napoleon's rise and fall. It discusses several key events:
1) The storming of the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789, a symbolic start to the revolution.
2) The National Assembly declares itself sovereign and adopts the "Rights of Man" as France's new constitution in 1789.
3) Napoleon stages a coup in 1799 and later crowns himself emperor, seeking to spread French ideals across Europe through war.
4) Napoleon's empire eventually collapses after his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812 and defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

Russian Revolution of 1917
The major events of the RUSSIAN REVOLUTION, a series of two revolutions in RUSSIA in 1917. The first revolution in March (O.S. February) deposed TSAR NICHOLAS II. The second revolution in November (O.S. October) toppled the Provisional Government and handed power to the Bolsheviks, giving way to the rise of the SOVIET UNION (U.S.S.R.), the world's first communist state.
Louis XIV (1638-1715)
Louis XIV ruled France from 1643 until his death in 1715. He consolidated power and reformed France's government and taxation system during his early reign. Louis engaged in numerous wars throughout Europe to expand French territory, though this eventually led to hostility from other nations. By the 1680s, Louis faced open opposition both for his aggressive foreign policy and revocation of rights for French Protestants. His costly wars left France financially devastated by the time of his death.
French Revolution
The French Revolution began in 1789 due to political and economic grievances with the monarchy. The Third Estate, which made up 97% of the population but had no political power, demanded equal representation. When King Louis XVI refused, the Bastille prison was stormed on July 14th, 1789, marking the start of the Revolution. The National Assembly abolished the special privileges of the nobility and clergy and created a constitutional monarchy, declaring equal rights and liberties for all citizens. However, foreign threats and the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette led to the Reign of Terror, with thousands executed by guillotine under Robespierre's Jacobin leadership before it ended.

Latin American Revolution Movements
1. The document provides information on various Latin American independence movements against Spanish and Portuguese rule in the early 19th century.
2. Revolutionary leaders like Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin led movements that resulted in independence for countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay in the 1810s-1820s.
3. However, Bolivar's dream of a unified Gran Colombia failed due to regionalism and political fragmentation in the newly independent states.
Revolutions of 1830 1848
The document discusses the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 in France and how they inspired revolts across Europe. In 1830, the July Revolution overthrew King Charles X of the House of Bourbon and replaced him with Louis-Philippe. The 1848 Revolution removed Louis-Philippe and established the Second Republic with universal male suffrage. Louis Napoleon later became emperor as Napoleon III. While some uprisings succeeded temporarily, like in Belgium gaining independence, most failed due to a lack of widespread support and were crushed by military force.
Napoleon bonaparte
Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 in Corsica and became the Emperor of France through his military successes. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous as his army was unprepared for the harsh Russian winter and scorched earth tactics. With most of his army lost, Napoleon was eventually defeated at the Battle of Waterloo and spent his final years in exile on the island of St. Helena, where he died in 1821.
THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE ANCIENT REGIME
The document provides an overview of 18th century European society, economy, politics, and culture. It describes the stratified social structure consisting of privileged and non-privileged estates. The privileged estates such as nobility and clergy had special rights and did not have to work, while the non-privileged estates like peasants and bourgeoisie worked and paid taxes. Absolute monarchy grew stronger during this period, though England established a parliamentary monarchy. The Enlightenment era saw new ideas challenging traditional religious authority and justifying more rational and representative forms of government.
The French Revolution
The French Revolution began as a result of a financial crisis that left France in massive debt. King Louis XVI was a weak ruler unable to address problems or raise taxes without approval from the Estates General, an advisory body that had not met since 1614. When the Estates General did meet in 1789, the Third Estate formed the National Assembly and seized power. This led to the storming of the Bastille and the abolition of feudalism. Economic troubles and divisions escalated tensions, resulting in the Reign of Terror led by Maximilien Robespierre that saw tens of thousands executed before his own fall from power in 1794.
German 1848 Revolution
The 1848 Revolutions in Germany were sparked by dissatisfaction among the growing middle class intelligentsia who wanted more political representation from the autocratic rulers. A potato blight in 1847 exacerbated economic hardship and popularized socialist ideas. Inspired by revolutions in France and elsewhere, demonstrations broke out in Berlin in March 1848 against King Frederick William IV of Prussia and Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria. Though initially successful, the revolutionaries failed to eliminate the prussian rulers. This paved the way for Prussia to later dominate German unification led by Otto von Bismarck in the late 1800s.
Revolución francesa
La Revolución Francesa fue impulsada por la crisis del Antiguo Régimen en los aspectos políticos, sociales y financieros. La ilustración cuestionó la monarquía y aristocracia, propagando ideas de soberanía popular y razón. Políticamente, la burguesía quería participar más en el gobierno mientras la nobleza perdía poder. Socialmente, había desigualdades extremas entre la corte real, clero, nobles y el pueblo. Financieramente, los gastos de la monarquía superaban los ingresos
Reign ppt
The document summarizes the radical days of the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Key events include the storming of the Bastille, the execution of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and the establishment of the Committee of Public Safety led by Robespierre. Robespierre declared the use of terror and violence as necessary to maintain justice. This led to the Reign of Terror from 1793-1794, during which the Law of Suspects allowed mass arrests and over 17,000 executions via the new invention of the guillotine. Growing paranoia eventually led the Convention to turn on Robespierre, executing him by guillotine and ending the Reign of Terror.
French revolution
The French Revolution began in 1789 as the commoners grew angry with the unequal system of the Estates General and the financial troubles of King Louis XVI. On May 5th, the Estates General met but the commoners' demands for fair representation and tax reform were denied. In response, the Third Estate formed the National Assembly on June 17th and took the Tennis Court Oath to create a new constitution. Tensions rose further and the Storming of the Bastille on July 14th marked the start of the Revolution. The National Assembly worked to establish a new government and declare rights for citizens. However, war and unrest continued throughout the early 1790s as the monarchy weakened and new assemblies and the Republic were formed

The French Revolution.docx
The document summarizes two laws passed during the Reign of Terror period of the French Revolution: the Law on Suspects of 1793 and the Law of 22 Prairial Year II of 1794. These laws gave the revolutionary government broad powers to arrest and execute those deemed enemies of the revolution. They legalized mass surveillance committees and loosened standards of evidence, leading to a major escalation of the bloodshed and executions during the Terror. Over 15,000 people were guillotined under these laws as the revolutionary government took increasingly tyrannical and dictatorial actions in the name of protecting liberty.
