Warm-Up Friday 10/16 To keep an empire together, a ruler must deal with forces both inside and outside of their empire. In your decision, which area is more important to control? Think about the problems in France (chaos, mobs, king be-headed, The Great Scare, food shortages).

Short Response: You watch thousands of your French countrymen and women get sentenced to die by the guillotine. These are the very same revolutionaries that fought side by side with you to help France win it’s freedom. Things seem very bad as Robespierre seems to go too far. Now he has just accused your best friend of being an “enemy of the state”. Write a 2 paragraph response ( Using complete sentences) writing to Robespierre asking to prove their friend’s innocence. Do you: Stand up and defend your friend? Deny your friend out of fear?

Thousands of deaths Thousands of people were sent to death over the littlest things Ex. Tavern Keeper selling sour wine to revolutionaries was killed. Over 3,000 people-40,000 were killed 85% killed were peasants – Why does this seem so hard to believe? Irony? Why was the revolution eventually fought?
