À propos de ce contenu audio

 In the wake of Robespierre's fall and the Thermidorian Reaction, a wave of violent reprisals swept through southern France known as the White Terror. This episode of The French Revolution: The Collapse of Royal Power examines the brutal attacks by royalist and conservative vigilantes against Jacobins, former revolutionaries, and Protestants. Lucas and Luna explore the origins of the term 'White Terror', the role of the jeunesse dorée (gilded youth), and the massacre at Fort Saint-Jean in Lyon in 1795. They discuss the persecution of Joseph Fouché and the arrest of Gracchus Babeuf, as well as the regime of the Directory's response. The episode also covers the murder of Jacobin prisoners at the Pont de la Guillotière and the assassination of Jean-Baptiste Carrier. This chapter in revolutionary history reveals the deep divisions and cycles of violence that plagued France long after the guillotine stopped falling.
