Paris in Turmoil As Robespierre Faction Poised to Rule
Paris faces chaotic politics as 800 Marseillais arrive to threaten the city with bloodshed and mob rule. Brissot and Robespierre factions clash in the Convention while rumors of cuts to 7 or 8000 heads surface. Dumourier shifts sides, and a Jacobin circular aims to quell disturbances. Foreign war looms with Spain. Priton again declines mayoralty as Paris trembles with pay strikes, mutinies, and feared grand spectacle. The stories extend to Saint Domingue, Geneva, and Corsican intrigues as France asserts power from the Alps to the Pyrenees.
