Commentary


Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793) est un médecin, physicien, journaliste et homme politique français. Usurpateur de noblesse avant la chute du régime monarchique, il devient député montagnard à la Convention à l’époque de la Révolution. Son assassinat par Charlotte Corday permet aux hébertistes de faire de lui un martyr de la Révolution et d'installer pendant quelques mois ses restes au Panthéon (cf. wikipedia).

The first coalition against France is made up of England, Holland, Austria, Russia, Spain , Prussia, Austria and Savoy. The French annex the Rhineland and Basel. Dumouriez, beaten at Neerwinden on March 18, decreed of accusation, goes over to the enemy. On March 10, 1793, the Revolutionary Tribunal was set up, then the Public Safety Committee on April 6. Marat was assassinated by Charlotte Corday on July 13, 1793. The end of the government of the Girondins on May 31 and June 2 brought their trial and execution on October 31.
