French Revolution: Birth of a New France

Year Published: 1966

Creator: ?Encyclopedia Britannica ebec

Complete Record: Uses scenes of actual locations, pictures, and sculpture to re-create events following the French Revolution. Examines the forces that shaped the uneasy Republic; the opposition of nobles and clergy, the indecision of the King, the rise of fragmented radical groups, and the fury of the mobs which brought on the Reign of Terror. The failure of committee rule encouraged dependence on the army and its strongest general, Napoleon Bonaparte. Although the French again came under one-man rule, the idea of popular sovereignty lived to change the future of Europe.
