A survey of the historical forces, events, and personalities surrounding the French Revolution of 1789.

This collection of a number of Joseph I. Shulim's major articles and two previously unpublished papers deals with fundamental aspects of the era of the French Revolution and Napoleon. In the first section he examines the reactions mainly of American contemporaries to the French Revolution and, especially, to Napoleon and his rule. An Age of Atlantic Revolutions emerges from these essays. The French Revolution, the predominant one of the age, is analyzed in the next section. In these chapters Professor Shulim moves toward a new interpretation of the origins and nature of the French Revolution. He examines the traditional or Marxist interpretation critically and concludes by questioning its validity. The chapters in the last section reassess important aspects of the life of Robespierre.

Life is short, so explore a multitude of fascinating historical, biographical, scientific, political, and financial topics in only an hour each.The French Revolution was a momentous event in modern history that began in 1789 and ended in 1799 when Napoleon Bonaparte took power. Many consider July 14, 1789 as the starting date of the revolution when rioters stormed the Bastille fortress in an attempt to obtain weapons and gunpowder. In the period of revolutionary upheaval, institutions such as the absolute monarchy and the feudal system were overthrown. Hundreds of accused counterrevolutionaries were massacred in an outburst of violence termed the Reign of Terror, and after the proclamation of the French Republic, the newly elected Legislative Assembly declared war on Austria and Prussia, where it feared that French �migr�s were building counterrevolutionary alliances. The Revolution also unleashed a wave of global conflicts from the Caribbean to the Middle East. On November 9, 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte staged a coup d'�tat, an event which marked the end of the Revolution. During the Napoleonic era, France dominated large parts of continental Europe and Napoleon would bring many of the principles of the Revolution to the areas he conquered.
