French Revolution

The Congress of Vienna was a conference of the states of Europe, held in Vienna in 1814. Its objective was providing long-term peace for the whole of Europe, mainly through settling the issues that came up because of the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars.

I suppose it is about generalship: What he makes happen on the battlefield. How does he know that the manoevres he makes at Austerlitz are correct ? It cannot be luck, it cannot be guesswork. Somehow he bends the opposition to his will.

The nobles, Nobility is the proper term.

They have the best jobs and taxes went to them.

Hope this helped.(:

The words translate into English as 'without knee breeches' and loosley applied to the French lower classes during the French Revolution. They wore long trousers as opposed to knee breeches which were worn by the Upper Classes. Sans-coulottism refered to the idea that valued fraternity above liberty and demanded economic controls. To maintain popular support, in the time of crisis, the government supported them during the early months of the Reign of Terror, but later arrested them. Eventually, Sans-coulottism was neutralised

The United States was very weak at this point in history and additionally there were internal disagreements between the Federalists who opposed intervention and the Democratic-Republicans who endorsed it.

In France the King ruled in the Ancien Regime.This means he had the divine right to rule.He thought he got his power from God. At first there was an assembly to make a constitution and then there was a legislative assembly called the "Convention Nationale". A policy of terror led by Robespierre and which caused the beheading of the king Louis XVI put an end at the first revolutionnary government. So by 1794 a new governmental system was created : the "Directoire", with an executive power of five persons and two legislative assemblies : the "Conseil des Anciens" (elder's council) and the "Conseil des Cinq Cents" (council of the five hundred). Napoleon put an end at the revolutionnary period with his coup of 1799 and he founded the "Consulat".

There were two kinds of people in the French Revolution, the peasants and aristocrats. The peasants were getting higher prices on bread and the aristocrats, to be blunt, didn't really care. So the peasants came together and tried to overthrow the French government by forming mobs and storming places like, the Bastille and the Palace of Versailles.

Some priests survived, and Our Blessed Lord sent His Mother to speak to the people and offer them comfort and a way out of their difficulties, to quote the words of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, to Sister Lucia of Fatima:

"Make it know to my ministers that, given that they follow example of the king of France in delaying the execution of my request, they will follow him into misfortune."

He returned later in that same year, August 1931:

"They did not want to heed my request. Like the king of France, they will repent and do so, but it will be too late." Some did, most did not, and World War II followed on the heels of World War I, for a complete recounting of the story, please see that last chapter "1917 AD: Fatima and the Twentieth Century in Diane Moczar's book, Ten Dates Every Catholic Should Know.

Redraw the political map of Europe, agree on spheres of influence and the restoration of a balance of power and to restore the Monarchy to France.

Other rulers may be concerned that the citizens of their nation, seeing the success of the French Revolution (and the American Revolution before it), could revolt against their government. The leaders wanted absolute power, and the ability of a nation to rise up against their government made rulers worrisome for their own countries.

The French Revolution of 1789 to 1799 was ended by a coup against the lawful French Directory that gave Napoleon Bonaparte the position as First Consul. In all fairness it should be noted that Napoleon did not conceive this take over of the Government. He became a co conspirator when two other French Officers were not available to provide the essential Military muscle. He merely provided a reversal of fortunes that preempted the results and gave him first cede.

The Catholic Church received a 10% tax on all members of the Third Estate above and beyond what they paid to France.

Russia and Spain were his undoing.

Egypt also if you're honest.

The Queen of France was bored. Try as she might, Marie Antoinette ( 1755-93) found insufficient diversion in her life at the great court of Versailles. When she was fourteen, she had married the heir to the French throne, the future Louis XVI. By the age of nineteen, she was queen of the most prosperous state in continental Europe. Still, she was bored. Her life, she complained to her mother, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, was futile and meaningless. Maria Theresa advised the unhappy queen to suffer in silence or risk unpleasant consequences. Sometimes mothers know best. As head of the Habsburg Empire, Maria Theresa understood more about politics than her youngest child. She understood that people have little sympathy with the boredom of a monarch, especially a foreign-born queen. But Marie Antoinette chose to ignore maternal advice and pursued amusements and intrigues that had unpleasant consequences indeed. Unpopular as a foreigner from the time she arrived in France, Marie Antoinette suffered a further decline in her reputation as gossip spread about her gambling and affairs at court. The public heard exaggerated accounts of the fortunes she spent on clothing and jewelry. In 1785 she was linked to a cardinal in a nasty scandal over a gift of a diamond necklace. In spite of her innocence, rumors of corruption and infidelity surrounded her name. Dubbed "Madame Deficit," she came to represent all that was considered decadent in royal rule. She continued to insist, "I am afraid of being bored." To amuse herself, she ordered a life-size play village built on the grounds of Versailles, complete with cottages, a chapel. a mill, and a running stream. Then, dressed in silks and muslins intended as the royal approximation of a milkmaid's garb, she whiled away whole days with her friends and children, all pretending they were inhabitants of this picturesque "hamlet." Her romantic view of country life helped pass the time, but it did little to bring her closer to the struggling peasants who made up the majority of French subjects. Marie Antoinette's problems need not have mattered much. Monarchs before her had been considered weak and extravagant. The difference was that her foibles became public in an age when the OpilliOII of the people affected political life. Rulers, even those believed tO be divinely appointed, were subjected to a public scrutiny all the more powerful because of rhe growth of the popular press. Kings, their ministers, and their spouses were held accountable-a dangerous phenomenon for an absohlte monarchy. This Austrian-born queen may nor have been more shallow or wastefully extravagant than other queens, but it mattered that people came to see her that way. The queen's reputation sank to its nadir when it was reported that she dismissed the suffering of her starving subjects with the haughty retort "Let them eat cake." What better evidence could there be of the queen's insensitivity than this heartless remark? Marie Antoinette never said "Let them eat cake," but everyone thought she did. This was the kind of callousness that people expected from the monarchy in 1789. Marie Antoinette understood the plight of her starving subjects, as her correspondence indicates. Probably a courtier at Versailles was the real source of the brutal retort, but the truth did not matter. Marie Antoinette and her husband were being indicted by the public for all the political, social, and fiscal crises that plagued France. In October 1793, Marie Antoinette was put on trial by the Revolutionary Tribunal and found guilty of treason. She was stripped of all the trappings of monarchy and forced to don another costume. Dressed as a poor working woman, her hair shorn, the former queen mounted the guillotine, following in the footsteps of her husband, who had been executed earlier that year. The monarchy did not fall because of a spendthrift queen with too much time on her hands. Nor did it fall because of the mistakes of the well-meaning but inept king. The monarchy had ceased to be responsive to the profound changes that shook France. It fell because of a new concern among the people for royal accountability in words and deeds. A rising democratic tide carried with it ideas about political representation, participation, and equality. If a queen could change places with a milkmaid, why should not a milkmaid be able to change places with a queen?

She didn't treat her people as good as the people would have liked. Some people resented her because she was not born in France but in Vienna, Austria. She was very carefree when it came to money. She ws also very arrogant too, when the people were starving because of a shortage of bread she said, "Let them eat cake!"

Louis-Joseph who was the second child and oldest son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette sadly perished from spinal tubercolosis at age 7 years on June 4, 1789 a few months before the French Revolutions. His death had caused huge grief upon his parents (even though they already lost their youngest child/daughter Princess Sophie Helene on June 11, 1787 two years prior to Louis-Joseph's death). Unfortantely many people in France did not mourn for Louis-Joseph because they were too busy dealing with their own problems.

they were probably cruel and wicked or they just didn't get respect from the peasants.

Valley Forge, Pennsylvania was the site of the American Continental Army camp during the winter of 1777-1778. James Varnum was a General in the Continental Army. The naval Battle of Valcour Bay took place on October 11, 1776, on Lake Champlain.
