Question

French revolution

What was the rumour? What was the impact of it in the countryside?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Great Fear (French: la Grande Peur) was a general panic that took place between 22 of July and 6 of August 1789, at the start of the French Revolution.[1] Rural unrest had been present in France since the worsening grain shortage of the spring, and, fuelled by rumors of an aristocrats' "famine plot" to starve or burn out the population, both peasants and townspeople mobilized in many regions.[1]

In response to these rumors, fearful peasants armed themselves in self-defense and, in some areas, attacked manor houses. The content of the rumors differed from region to region—in some areas it was believed that a foreign force was burning the crops in the fields, while in other areas it was believed that robbers were burning buildings. Fear of the peasant revolt was a contributing factor to the abolition of seignorialism in France through the August Decrees.
