Jacques-Pierre Brissot

At first she may seem like an ordinary citizen of France, but here actions say otherwise when she assassinates Jean Paul Marat while bathing in the bathtub.

Jacques-Pierre Brissot, in full Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville (born January 15, 1754, Chartres, France—died October 31, 1793, Paris), a leader of the Girondins (often called Brissotins), a moderate bourgeois faction that opposed the radical-democratic Jacobins during the French Revolution.

King Louis XVI eventually convened the Estates General, which had not been assembled for over 150 years, to meet in May 1789 to ratify financial reforms. Charles was the most conservative member of the family and opposed the demands of the Third Estate to increase their voting power. This prompted criticism from his brother, who accused him of being "plus royaliste que le roi" ("more royalist than the king"). In June 1789, the representatives of the Third Estate declared themselves a National Assembly intent on providing France with a new constitution.

Jacques-Pierre Brissot

A member of the Legislative Assembly and National Convention who held a moderate stance and believed in the idea of a constitutional monarchy. Brissot’s followers, initially known simply as Brissotins, eventually became known more generally as the Girondins. After unsuccessfully declaring war on Austria and Prussia, Brissot was removed from the National Convention and, like many Girondin leaders, lost his life at the guillotine during the Reign of Terror in 1793–1794.

YOU SEE THE SMALLEST DETAILS

King Louis XVI

Later in King Louis life, he made an agreement to marry Marie Antoinette to bring peace between Austria and France. In 1789 Th peasants and Third estate had, had enough of being treated unequally. Thus the french revolution is born.France fell into chaos and many were slaughtered. To end this, King Louis was executed in, 1792.

Napoleon was the greatest leader France ever had and he shaped history and the outcome of France.

He defended France from Austria and Britain even with the small amount of soldiers he could send. His tactics were unmatched which made him an icon of the revolution.

Napoleon

In 1796 Napoleon took control of the army of Italy which was a sickly and underfed army of 30,000, but was transformed by this young leader. His new successful army went on to nearly conquer Europe after defeating Austria.

Marat, became a well-known doctor in London in the 1770s and published a number of books on scientific and philosophical subjects. His Philosophical Essay on Man (1773) was translated into French and published in Amsterdam (1775–76). His early political works included The Chains of Slavery (1774), an attack on despotism addressed to British voters, in which he first expounded the notion of an “aristocratic,” or “court,” plot; it would become the principal theme of a number of his articles.

Born July 27th 1768, She was Born in Saint-Saturnin-des-Ligneries, and Wan't the richest or most respected people of that time. She would fall into a common croud. When she was young after the death of her older sister and mother. Her father sent her off to Abbaye-aux-Dames convent in Caen. While there she had access to the libraries.

Elected to the Legislative Assembly, he immediately concerned himself with foreign affairs, joining the diplomatic committee. Brissot argued that war could only consolidate the Revolution by unmasking its enemies and inaugurating a crusade for universal liberty. Although the Jacobin leader Maximilien Robespierre opposed him, war was declared on Austria (April 1792). The early defeats suffered by the French, however, gave fresh impulse to the Revolutionary movement, which Brissot and his friends had meant to check. Having tried in vain to prevent the suspension of the monarchy, Brissot was denounced by Robespierre in the Paris Commune as a “liberticide” on September 1.

Charles X of France

Jean Paul Marat

Beginning in September 1789, Marat became an influential voice in favour of the greatest democratic measures, particularly in October, when the royal family was forcibly brought from Versailles to Paris by a mob. He particularly advocated preventive measures against aristocrats, whom he claimed were plotting to destroy the Revolution. Early in 1790 he was forced to flee to England after publishing attacks on Jacques Necker, the king’s finance minister; three months later he was back, his fame now sufficient to give him some protection against reprisal. He did not relent but directed his criticism against such moderate Revolutionary leaders as the marquis de Lafayette, the comte de Mirabeau, and Jean-Sylvain Bailly, mayor of Paris (a member of the Academy of Sciences); he continued to warn against the émigrés, royalist exiles who were organizing counterrevolutionary activities and urging the other European monarchs to intervene in France and restore the full power of Louis XVI.

Charles X (Charles Philippe; 9 October 1757 – 6 November 1836) was known for most of his life as the Count of Artois before he reigned as King of France and of Navarre from 16 September 1824 until 2 August 1830. An uncle of the uncrowned King Louis XVII, and younger brother to reigning Kings Louis XVI and Louis XVIII, he supported the latter in exile and eventually succeeded him.
