The Thermidorian revolt - unsuccessful attempt to remove the Jacobins from power, led by Maximilian Robespierre, undertaken by the deputies of the French National Convention 9-10 Thermidor II year. The revolt was the culmination of the Great French Revolution, when the Montagnards were almost overthrown.
The turning point was the release of François Henriot (Commander of the National Guard - a supporter of the Jacobins), and the release of Robespierre. He was escorted by gendarmes to the Luxembourg prison. However, when they approached the prison, a crowd gathered around her, chanting: "Long live Robespierre!". The prison governor refused to accept Robespierre, and the gendarmes, under the pressure of the crowd, were forced to abandon their captive. It happened about the same time that the Coffinel freed Henriot.
Caught in freedom, Robespierre hurried to the Town Hall, where he was met as a hero - about the same time, around 9:00 the guardsmen of Anrio broke into the Tuileries. The deputies of the Convention were caught unawares and did not show any resistance. Henriot read out the Commune's order to arrest 14 conspiratorial deputies, including Collo d'Herbois, Talena and Fouche. All those arrested under escort were sent to the Town Hall, where Robespierre was already in command, detachments were sent to liberate Couton, Saint-Just and others, who were imprisoned in different parts of the city. Guardsmen cordoned off the Tuileries, so as not to miss a single rebel supporter in the Convent - the hour of Robespierre's triumph arrived.
However, at about midnight news began to come that the western sections supported the Thermidorians - even a detachment of about 200 guardsmen was sent, sent to defend the Convention. However, when this detachment approached the Tuileries, he found thousands of supporters of Robespierre near the palace. Without venturing to oppose such a force, the Thermidorian guards retreated and went home.
At 1:30 am Robespierre, as well as the liberated Saint-Just and Couton, accompanied by the mayor of Paris Fleori-Lescaut and the commander of the National Guard of Henrio, entered the Tuileries. Convent, 9 hours ago screaming "Down with the tyrant!" now he applauded the triumvirs. All orders for the arrests of the Jacobins were annulled. Nevertheless, guardsmen took into custody about 70 deputies from the number of former Ebertists, dantonists, as well as leaders of the "Bolot". After this, the Convention was allowed to disperse.
By the morning of the 10th Thermidor, Paris once again began to live a peaceful life - the mutiny was completely suppressed.
What would have happened if Maximilian Robespierre and François Henriot had not been able to be liberated? Was Robespierre, Saint-Just and Couton executed as a result of the coup? Has the terror ended in this case, or would it have flared up in that case with renewed vigor? How would this be reflected in the results of the First Revolutionary War?
