Introduction
Explore the challenges faced by the French Revolution in 1793, from external threats to internal unrest, as Paris becomes engulfed in a crisis characterized by hunger, inflation, and radical movements.
Multiple crises radicalise the sans-culottes of the capital, and a new ultra-radical movement emerges on the revolutionary left. Those associated with the Enragés rose to challenge the National Convention, as well as the Girondins and Jacobins who dominated it.
Exclusive Bonus Content (Episode Extras)
