Constitutional monarchy to a republic : july 1790-january 1793

Abstract

France is at war with Austria since April 20. On July 25, Brunswick promises the worst tortures in Paris where Parisians do not subordinate themselves to the king, which spreads out into the open connivance of the king abroad. Paris takes a petition calling for the overthrowing of the king. The Legislature refused to judge Lafayette accused of wanting to save the monarchy. The Jacobins were divided. Robespierre was in favor of the regime change. On August 9, the marching orders to the Tuileries were launched.
