After you click on this link and view The French Revolution Part 2, respond to the following concepts...

Place in your notebook. We will review in class tomorrow.

1. Why did peasant women march on Versaille? What did they demand of the King and Queen?

2. Who are the Emigres? Why do they elect to choose this option.

3. What option did the King and Queen choose when they felt France could not be saved. What was the outcome?

4. Who were the Jacobins? What did they advocate?

5. What does Abdication of the Throne mean?   

6. What was the Champ de Mars? How did this event play to the Jacobin's interests?

7. How did Prussia and Austria feel about the French Revolution? What did they pledge to do? Based on what we have examined earlier why might this be confusing?
