French Revolution: internal factionalizing of the revolutionary movement (inciting the Terror), uprisings, and counter-revolutionary revolts. Girondins fall to the militaristic Jacobin faction headed by Jean-Paul Marat, Georges Jacques Danton, Maximilien Robespierre, the last two soon to become opponents. Feudal rights abolished without compensation to former aristocracy (aristocrats, like the clergy before them, lose their property).
