Explanation:
In late July, the worst of the Great Fear riots erupted in Dauphiné, in south-eastern France. Peasant gangs began a five-day orgy of devastation in Bourgoin, ransacking and destroying various châteaux until they were dispersed by volunteer troops from Lyons and Grenoble. Unless they attempted to resist, the nobility were not injured.
In the spring of 1789, the situation became grave as France faced its greatest food shortage in years. Even the peasants' own little food supplies were depleting while multitudes in the metropolis starved or gave up nearly all of their paychecks for even.
The political turmoil of 1788-1789 also shook peasant communities. The assembly of the Estates-General and the writing of the cahiers instilled hope and expectation across the land. The act of producing the cahiers had brought peasants together to talk about their problems and voice their frustrations, notably about the weight of royal taxes and feudal dues.
In late July, these worries of royal and aristocratic retaliation grew tremendously. The power of gossip only grew stronger as peasant dissatisfaction grew (as the great historian Lefebvre phrased it, "fear fed dread").
The Great Fear had some organisation and leadership in certain villages and small towns. The residents gathered on the village green or square to hear from their elected officials. Some people decided to go on the offensive against suspected counter-revolutionaries.
Great Fear, French Grande Peur, a moment of fear and unrest by peasants and others during the French Revolution, amid rumours of a "aristocratic conspiracy" by the monarch and the privileged to topple the Third Estate.
