Question

Contribution of middle class in the french revolution

Answer 1

A Republican movement emerged, supported by sans-culottes although led by middle class men such as Robespierre and Danton.

The military defeats and desertions of army officers in the war along with the King increased his unpopularity and weakened the arguments of the moderates considerably,
which weakened the Assembly who were constitutional monarchists.


The Republicans and revolutionaries grew increasingly in power, especially with the arrival of the federes, which was evident in the storming of the Tulieres.
