France Abolishes Monarchy And Becomes Republic
France Abolishes Monarchy And Becomes A Republic: The situation in France continued to be tensed in subsequent years. Even though Louis XVI had signed the Constitution, he entered into secret negotiations with the King of Prussia. Rulers of France’s neighbouring countries were worried by the developments in France. They made plans to send troops to put down the events taking place since 1789. Before this could happen, the National Assembly declared war against Prussia and Austria in April 1792. Thousands of volunteers joined army who saw war as a protest of the people against kings and aristocracies all over Europe. Among the patriotic songs sung by them was the Marseillaise composed by the poet Roget de L’Isle. It later became the National Anthem of France. It was sung for the first time by volunteers from Marseilles as they marched into Paris. This way it got its name.

The Result of Revolutionary Wars: Economic difficulties and losses were the result of the revolutionary wars. While men were busy fighting at the front, women had to earn a living and look after their families. A large segment of the population was convinced that the revolution had to be carried further, as the Constitution of 1791 gave political rights only to the richer section. Political clubs became popular, where people could discuss government policies and their own plans of action. The most successful of these clubs was that of the Jacobins, which got its name from the former convent of St Jacob in Paris.
The Jacobin Club: Members of the Jacobins club belonged mainly to the less prosperous sections of society. They included shopkeepers, artisans, cooks, shoe-makers, watch-makers, printers, servants and daily-wage workers. Their leader was Maximilien Robespierre.
They dressed differently by wearing long striped trousers similar to those worn by dock workers. They wanted to show themselves apart from the fashionable sections of society, especially the nobles, who wore knee length breeches.
It was a way of declaring the end of the power holded by the wearers of knee breeches. They came to be known as sans-culottes’ meaning ‘those without knee breeches’. Sans-culottes men wore a red cap that symbolised liberty.
The Convention: On 10th August, 1792, the Jacobins attacked the Palace of the Tuileries with large number of Parisians. They killed the king’s guards and held the king himself as hostage for several hours. Later, the assembly voted to imprison the royal family. Elections were held and now all men above 21 years of age were allowed to vote. The newly elected assembly, called the Convention. It abolished monarchy on 21st September, 1792 and France was declared a ‘Republic’. A republic was a form of government where the people elected the government, including the head of the government. There is no hereditary monarch. Louis XVI was sentenced to death by a court on the charge of treason. On 21st January, 1793, he was executed publicly at the Place de la Concorde. After some time, the Queen Marie Antoinette met with the same fate.
