À propos de ce contenu audio

With Robespierre dead and the Terror over, France faced a political vacuum. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Directory, the five-man executive that tried to steer a middle course between royalists and Jacobins. They examine the Constitution of Year III, the rise of Paul Barras, the bloody Vendémiaire uprising, and the shadowy Club de Clichy. The episode traces how economic collapse and military ambition led to the coup of 18 Fructidor, and ultimately set the stage for a young general named Napoleon Bonaparte to seize power in 1799. Along the way, they meet figures like François-Noël Babeuf, whose Conspiracy of Equals offered an early vision of communism, and Lazare Carnot, the 'Organizer of Victory' who struggled to keep the Republic solvent. It's a story of fragile institutions, cynical politicians, and a people exhausted by revolution.
