The French Revolution The Revolution Begins Phase 1 – The Moderate Phase (1789-1791) Phase 2 – The Radical Phase (1792-1794) Phase 3 – The End: The Directorate and Napoleon (1795-1815)

The Estates General Imagine the following: You are a middle class shopkeeper who was selected to be a delegate at the meeting of the Estates General You came to Versailles expecting to be able to make some meaningful changes in the French political and economic systems You and your fellow delegates from the Third Estate want all three estates to meet together and make decisions with each delegate having an equal vote. Since there were more Third Estate delegates, you will finally get a major say on laws and reforms> Instead, the nobility and the clergy insisted that the votes be held by order so that they could outvote the Third Estate despite having far less actual votes

The Question What would you suggest for you and your fellow middle class delegates to do at this point? What do you think they did?

The Revolution Begins Read about the three events that started the revolution (pp.654-655) and answer the questions below for each section of the text you read: The National Assembly What action did the delegates to the Estates General from the Third Estate take after the King ruled that votes would be taken “by Order”? What did they pledge to do? Who joined them?

The Revolution Begins (continued) The Storming of the Bastille What rumors led to the storming of the Bastille? What happened? What is the significance of the event? The Great Fear What rumors fueled the “senseless panic”? What action did French peasants take? What action did Parisian women take and what were the results of their acts?

The Moderate Phase (1789-1791) Read pp. 656-657 stopping at the subsection “Factions Split France”. Answer the following question: What actions did the National Assembly take to reform France, its social structure, its relation with the Church and its political structure during this time period. Then read over the handout, “Declaration of the Rights of Man” and think about how this document addressed the factors that led to the French Revolution.

Group Discussion Compare your response to the reading question. Make sure each group member has a complete answer. Then as a group review the handout. Discuss, develop and write down an answer to the following question: How did the Declaration address the causes of the French Revolution that we discussed earlier in class?

The Radical Phase (1792-1794) -Background The new government established by the National Assembly still faced some of the problems that had caused the revolution such as food shortages and government debt. The question of how to handled these problems caused the newly created Legislative Assembly to split into three groups each of whom proposed different solutions: A Radical Group A Moderate Group A Conservative Group

The Radical Phase (1792-1794) Question (answer to the best of your ability: What ideas concerning how the new government should be run do you think each group proposed? The Radicals? The Moderates? The Conservatives?

The Radical Phase (1792-1794) -Background Answer: The Radicals (the left) wanted sweeping changes such as getting rid of the king The Moderates (the center) wanted to make a few minor changes The Conservatives (the right) were happy with the idea of a limited monarchy and wanted to make no changes Question: What sort of situation or events might cause the Radical point of view to gain support in the country and the government?

The Radical Phase (1792-1794) -Background If you were a monarch or a noble in a European country in the 1790’s how would you view the French Revolution, its limitation of the power of the king and its focus on citizen equality? What might you be inclined to do? If you were Louis XVI, having lost your traditional power, what might you hope that your other European monarchs might do for you?

The Radical Phase (1792-1794) -Background Austria and Prussia attacked France with the goal of restoring Louis XVI to full power. It appeared that their actions were being encouraged by King Louis. What effect do you think this might have had on the power struggle between the Radicals, Moderates and Conservatives in the French national Legislature?

The Radical Phase (1792-1794) -Background The war with Prussia and Austria strengthened the Radicals and allowed them to take control. An eventual leader of the radicals was Maximilien Robespierre. A quote from his writing is printed on p. 660 of your text. Read it and answer the following question: What might you expect will happen in France when Robespierre takes over the French government?

The Radical Phase (1792-1794) We are going to watch a film which will detail the events of the Radical Phase of the Revolution. The film will also touch on the beginning of the third phase of the Revolution. As you watch the film you need to answer the questions that appear on the next slide for each factor (they are also written on a handout)

What effect did the execution of the king have? The Terror 7. What was done in the spring of 1793 to stop those opposed to the government? 8. What organization began ruling France in the summer of 1793 and who headed it? 9. Against whom was the Reign of Terror organized? 10.

The End: Napoleon’s Rule Read “Napoleon Rules France” on pp. 654-665 of your text and answer the following questions: What was Napoleon’s first act as leader and what was the result? What economic actions did he take? What political actions did he take? What educational actions did he take? What religious actions did he take? What legal actions did he take What political office did he take for himself in 1804?

The End: Napoleon’s Rule – Group Work Compare your answers to the 7 questions about Napoleon’s rule. Make sure all group member’s answers are accurate and complete. Then individually read the handout on Napoleon’s letters. Finally as a group discuss and develop and have each group member write down an answer to the following question: In what ways did Napoleon’ s actions advance the ideas and goals of the French Revolution and in what ways did they reverse or counter them? (Looking at your handout Declaration of the Rights of Man” and your notes on the factors that led to the Revolution will help you do this task)
