Suspicions of an aristocratic
conspiracy of a counter
revolution spurred a violent
uprising by the dwellers of
French countryside.
This terrifying hysteria
resulted in burnings of
châteaux, monasteries and
homes of important financial
and official documents.
Another resonating
occurrence of the Grande
Peur (Great Fear) was the
seizing of the Bastille by a
Parisian mob of 600-1,000
insurgents; the Bastille was
defended by little more than
114 Royal troops.
Sécurité Publique dans le Péril

Safety was founded by the
National Convention.

center of power in the French
Empire and lessened the

Safety was responsible for
many high profile executions
with the use of the guillotine.
• Those who were being
executed were supporters of
the French monarchy and
opposed to the Revolution.

Feeling threatened, King Louis
XVI locked the National
Assembly from their meeting
place Menus Plaisirs.
Instead of abandoning their
movement for equality among
the Estates and change in the
government the group moved
their meeting to an indoor
tennis court
The members rocked the
French government and
aristocracy that day by passing
a bold new constitution by
voting by heads, which gave
the much forgotten and
oppressed Third Estate
majority in the vote.

Country First
Nationalism is defined as
“patriotic feeling, principles, or
efforts”
French Nationalism during the
start of the French Revolution
was all together nonexistent.
People were suspicious and
against each other and
especially the government and
aristocracy.
However threats of war and
occupation by the Austrians
and British became a rallying
point for all of France.
Win or lose, France was united
to fight against enemies and
rebuild their country.
