| ARTICLES RELATED TO theorist | | | |  theorist: Encyclopedia II - Maximilien Robespierre - The great question regarding the execution of Louis XVIAll personal disputes, however, gave way by the month of December 1792 before the great question of the king's trial, and here Robespierre took up a position which is easily understood. These are his words spoken on December 3:
This is no trial; Louis is not a prisoner at the bar; you are not judges; you are—you cannot but be—statesmen, and the representatives of the nation. You have not to pass sentence for or against a single man, but you have to take a resolution on a question of the public safety, and to decide a questio ...

| | | | | theorist: Encyclopedia II - Maximilien Robespierre - Robespierre's downfall At last, on July 26, Robespierre appeared, for the first time for more than four weeks, in the Convention and delivered a harangue, lasting more than two hours. He warned of a conspiracy that threatened the Republic, that certain deputies who had acted unjustly and exceeded their powers ought to be punished, and that the Committees of Public Safety and General Security should be renewed.
This raised great excitement in the Convention. Robespierre had not mentioned any names and all wondered who were the deputies destined to be punished. All were surprised that the Terror should be imputed as a fa ...

| | | | | theorist: Encyclopedia II - Maximilien Robespierre - Foundation of the Committee of Public Safety The royalist insurrections in Lyon and counter-revolutionary support elsewhere, coupled with the military reverses and increasing financial problems, angered and frightened the new Republic. The state was strengthened and more coherent leadership structures were developed. On March 11 a Revolutionary Tribunal was established in Paris and on April 6 the nine-member Committee of Public Safety replaced the larger Committee of General Defense. On July 27, 1 ...

| | | | | theorist: Encyclopedia II - Maximilien Robespierre - Destruction of the Girondins With the great question settled by the king's execution, the struggle between Robespierre and the Girondins entered upon a more acute stage, and the want of statesmanship among the latter threw upon the side of the fanatical Robespierre, Danton, and the pragmatic politicians who sought success for France in her struggle with Europe.
The Girondins had little influence in many areas; there was open royalist revolt in the Vendée, and federalist insurrection was rife in the South of France. Spurred on by Madame Roland, the Girondins refu ...

| | | | | theorist: Encyclopedia II - Maximilien Robespierre - Robespierre's opposition to war with Austria On December 18, 1791, Robespierre made a speech that marked a new epoch in his life. Brissot de Warville, the dame politique of the Girondist party which had been formed in the Legislative Assembly, urged that war should be declared against Austria. Marie Antoinette, the queen, was equally urgent, in the hope that victorious foreign armies might restore the old absolutism of the Bourbons. In opposition stood Marat and Robespierre.
Robespierre feared a development of militarism, which might then be turned to the advantage of the ...

The Bishop of Arras, M. de Conzié, appointed him criminal judge in the diocese of Arras in March 1782.

| | | | | theorist: Encyclopedia II - Maximilien Robespierre - Family and early life He was born in Arras, France. A myth persists that his family was of Irish descent, having emigrated from Ireland at the time of the Protestant Reformation for religious reasons, and that his direct ancestors in the male line had been notaries in the little village of Carvin near Arras from the beginning of the 17th century. However, several genealogists have traced his family back to the Middle Ages in Northern France.
His paternal grandfather established himself in Arras as an advocate. His father, who followed the same profession, ...

| | | | | theorist: Encyclopedia II - Maximilien Robespierre - Foundation of the Committee of Public Safety The royalist insurrection in Lyon exasperated the men who were working for the Republic, and the armies who were fighting for her. On July 27, 1793, when the struggle was practically decided, the Convention elected Robespierre to the new Committee of Public Safety, a position he had not sought.
Danton and other practical politicians saw that France needed the existence of a strong executive government to forestall the intervention of foreig ...

| | | | | | theorist: Encyclopedia II - Paul de Man - Wartime journalism his influence and legacy A controversy arose in 1987, when, after de Man's death, his articles for a collaborationist Belgian newspaper during the war were rediscovered by Ortwin de Graef, a Belgian student researching de Man's early life and work.
De Man was the nephew of Hendrik de Man, an eminent politician who served in the collaborationist government and whose influence probably secured Paul a position as a literary critic for Le Soir, a Brussels daily which was seized by the German occupation military government. De Man retained his job until Nov ...
