Describe what the revolutionaries did to the prisoners.
Citrus2011 [14]

The prisoners were ill-treated following the mass killings.

The "First Terror" of the French Revolution was a mass murder of prisoners that took place in Paris in the year 1792. The general public believed that political prisoners were getting ready to rebel in their prisons and join a counterrevolutionary plot. An armed gang attacked a group of prisoners being transported to the Abbaye jail, which set off the actual murders. Over the course of the subsequent four days, the atrocities spread to the other prisons in the city, and the civil authorities were powerless to put an end to them.

More than a thousand criminals were put to death, the bulk following a trial conducted by a hastily gathered "popular tribunal." A major turning point in world history was the French Revolution, which began in 1789 and ended with Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent to power in the late 1790s. During this period, French citizens dramatically altered the political landscape of their nation by overthrowing venerable institutions like the monarchy and the feudal system.

Describe the allies plan to win world war 1
ANTONII [103]
Okay so here are my points
<span>
1) The failure of Germany to bring a quick end to the war in 1914, leading to a war on two fronts and stalemate. Germany had a huge army and so could hold out, but in a long war she was ultimately bound to lose against the combined economies of Britain, France, USA etc. </span>

<span>2) The Allied Naval blockade of Germany led to shortages and unrest on the home front. However this didn't really start to bite until the final period of the war. </span>

<span>3) After 1914 Germany largely gave up the initiative to the Allies on the Western front. Apart from a few battles such as Verdun and the March 1918 offensive, she stayed largely on the defensive, which cost the Allies dear but the war could never be won this way. </span>

<span>4) The allies made huge mistakes at massive loss of life but ultimately they learned from their mistakes and got their act together in 1918. The Germans had no answer to the new tactics and the combined use of tanks and aircraft. Germany never put much effort into developing tanks, only a few ever came into service. </span>

<span>5) Once the USA entered the war the writing was on the wall. It was like a boxing match where after 10 rounds of slugging and with both boxers knackered, a new one stepped in fresh as a daisy. Germany's troops were at the end of their tether by 1918, and they squandered their last reserves on the March 1918 offensive. After that it was backs to the wall until the end of the war.

Hope this helps my dude!</span>
