What happened at a Paris wallpaper factory on April 18,1789

History

Alika [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The Réveillon riots occurred between 26–29 April 1789[1] centered in the St. Antoine district of Paris where a factory which produced luxury wallpaper was owned by Jean-Baptiste Réveillon. The factory employed around 300 people. The riots were one of the first instances of violence during the French Revolution. The factory where the riot took place was unusual in pre-revolutionary France as the factory was guild-free in an era where guilds controlled quality standards.

Protests began after rumors spread that the owner had made a speech stating that workers, many of whom were highly skilled, were to be paid lower wages and, as a result, there would be lower prices. Workers were concerned with food shortages, high unemployment, and low wages after a difficult winter in 1789. However, Réveillon was known for his benevolence towards the poor and actually stated that bread prices should be brought down to those that people could afford (below 15 sous a day) but his comments were misinterpreted as wage restrictions. He made the comments on 21 April when the assembly of the Saint-Marguerite was discussing its Cahier which all Estates drew up before the Estates-General was to be called.

After informal protests on Sunday 26 April, groups of protesters congregated on the Ile de la Cité and in the Faubourg Saint-Marcel, Marais, and Faubourg Saint-Antoine the next day for a series of protest-marches. Though the first three marches - one of which targeted the Third Estate's Assembly of Electors - were resolved peacefully, confrontations between troops and participants in the fourth demonstration led to the outbreak of violence in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine that evening.

While the protesters did not manage to destroy the factory as it was being guarded by a group of around fifty troops, a factory owned by the saltpetre manufacturer Henriot was destroyed after he made similar comments.However Réveillon’s factory was destroyed a day later as was his home The riot killed 25 people and wounded around the same number although rumour caused the casualty figures to be exaggerated. The French Guard were used to restore order.

The small states of Phoenicia and Israel developed due to the decline of the______
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The small states of Phenicia and Israel developed due to the decline of the Persian Empire and the Turkish-Ottoman Empire.

Explanation:

Phenicia was a group of city-states located in what is now Lebanon. They had commercial relations with many peoples, mainly the Hebrews and the Persians. However, even in the face of trade relations, the Persian empire oppressed the realization of the state of Phenicia with the violent Persian expansion, and Phenicia could only stabilize with the fall of the Persian Empire.

The state of Israel, on the other hand, took years to be declared and this was only possible after the fall of the Turkish-Ottoman empire, after the Second World War. Britain has seized the lands of the Turkish-Ottoman empire by handing them over to Israel through political agreements.
