[EAN: 9781502316424], Nieuw boek, [SC: 1.36], [PU: Createspace, United States], Language: English Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.In many ways it is fitting that Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) is one of the best known figures of the French Revolution, if not its most famous. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. Few were as vocal in their support of Enlightenment ideals as Robespierre, who was heavily versed in Rousseau and Montesquieu, a champion of the bourgeoise, and an advocate of human rights who opposed both slavery and the death penalty. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. For that reason, the Reign of Terror became the most memorable aspect of the Revolution, and at the head of it all was Robespierre, whose position on the Committee of Public Safety made him the Reign of Terror s instrumental figure, until he himself became a victim of the Revolution s extremism. Robespierre has remained one of the Revolution s most controversial figures, an enigma in both life and death. Known as The Incorruptible to supporters and a bloodthirsty dictator to his opponents, what all could agree on was that he was a vital figure during one of history s most momentous events.<
