The Purge of the Girondins Part II
Insurrection! With deadlock paralysing the Convention, and the Commission of Twelve provoking the radicals of Paris, another journée consumed the capital. With the establishment of the Central Revolutionary Committee and the Évêché Assembly, the sections of Paris led a new uprising against the national representation. The Insurrection of 31 May 1793 consumed the French Revolution, but it didn't have the results many might expect. Furthermore, despite the appearances of a united front, the revolutionary cohorts of Paris were heavily divided as the Enragés (Enraged) and the Jaocbins jockeyed for supremacy. Exclusive Bonus Content (Episode Extras) 1. " The Madness and Controversy of Maximin Isnard " - The speech of a madman, or an overblown affair?

Civil War in the Vendée
The revolutionaries are confronted with a new challenge in the west. Recruitment riots grip the nation, and in a region known as the Vendée, these disturbances fast became organised resistance. By June 1793, civil war consumed western France, and large swaths of the countryside were controlled by the Royal and Catholic Army. In this episode, we explore why the Vendée was the first region to revolt against the National Convention, the unique characteristics of the civil war, and multiple debates that bitterly divide historians. Exclusive Bonus Content (Episode Extras) 1.55.1 Hills, Hedges, and Humble Clerics - In the Episode Extra for this episode, we unpack why the topography of the Vendée was so beneficial to the defending insurrectionists.

The Trial of the King Part II
As the deputies proceed with the King's trial, a radical proposal upends the proceedings. Leading Girondins suggested "the appeal to the people", a national referendum to determine the King's fate. Rejected by the Mountain, both factions denounce the other as they seek to win the support of the Plain. This episode explores the appeal to the people, the positions of each faction on direct democracy, and the possible motivations for the Girondins' surprising actions. Exclusive Bonus Content (Episode Extras) 1.47.1 Additional Thoughts on Girondin Motivations - This unscripted analysis examines how the possibility of war in the Atlantic may have encouraged some Girondins to seek clemency for the King. It also examines an additional theory from Historian Jean Jaurès as to why the Girondins had no choice but to propose the appeal to the people and attempt to avoid the King's execution.

The Invasion of France
On the eve of the Invasion of France in August 1792, the courts of the First Coalition were maintaining an uneasy alliance. Events in Poland had reinforced the long-standing distrust between the courts of Berlin, Vienna, and St. Petersburg, and developments in the east would fundamentally alter the trajectory of the allies' advance. This episode examines how events in Poland impacted the Prussian invasion, as well as the nature of the army that marched with the Duke of Brunswick. We'll also explore the key battles of 1792, including Valmy and Jemappes, along with the amazing highs and lows of the campaign. Finally, we will unpack how the military situation in late 1792 dramatically impacted the politics of the new French Republic, leading to a renewed determination to wage a crusade for universal liberty. Exclusive Bonus Content (Episode Extras) 1.43.1 The Battle(s) of Valmy - Explore not only the original Battle of Valmy, but the highly contested historical debate surrounding the skirmish.
