	With the death of Mirabeau, the King lost his most powerful supporter in the National Assembly. Feeling more like a prisoner than a king in Paris, on 20 June 1791, Louis XVI fled with his family to Varenne, but they were recognized and brought back to Paris. This event decreased the popularity of the King and some as Danton and Robespierre, reclaimed the deposition of Louis and the proclamation of a French Republic. The Jacobins who wanted the King to stay formed the [[Feuillants]] Club. Things get worse on 17 July when a crowd that reunited on the Champ de Mars to sign a petition for the removal of the King was shot by the National Guard led by Lafayette.

	But the threat of war against the Habsburg dynasty, the family of Queen Marie-Antoinette, increased at the end of the year 1791, as the brother of the Queen had sympathy for the counter-revolutionaries and wanted to reestablish the authority of his brother-in-law. The [[Girondists]], deputies of the Legislative Assembly led by [[Jacques Pierre Brissot]], wanted to declare war against the [[Austria]], hoping to spread the revolutionary ideals across Europe through warfare. On the other hand, the ''Montagnards'', led by Robespierre, wanted to keep the peace to consolidate the Revolution in France. Otherwise, in April 1792, the Legislative Assembly declared war on Austria and the French Army invaded the [[Belgium\|Austrian Netherlands]], beginning the [[French Revolutionary Wars]]. [[Prussia]] joined Austria in the war.<ref name="ACU"/>		But the threat of war against the Habsburg dynasty, the family of Queen Marie-Antoinette, increased at the end of the year 1791, as the brother of the Queen had sympathy for the counter-revolutionaries and wanted to reestablish the authority of his brother-in-law.

	France was also in a political and social crisis. The nobles and clergymen didn't pay taxes and had feudal privileges on the lower class. As the knowledge spread with the ''[[Encyclopédie Diderot\|Encyclopédie]]'' in the high-class and low-class, the political ideals of Enlightenment philosophers, such as [[Voltaire]] and [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]], influenced the population on the role of the people in government. The American Revolution also had its own influence, as [[Benjamin Franklin]] was the ambassador of the [[United States]] in France during the American Revolutionary War. The ideals of a representative government increased. In January 1789, [[Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès]], an abbot and a deputy of the Third Estate, published ''What is the Third Estate?'', a pamphlet where he explained that the Third Estate had no political power even if it represented the majority of the Nation.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – {{Cite\|17 June 2021}}</ref>		France was also in a political and social crisis.

People storming the Bastille wore the {{Wiki\|File:Flag of Paris.svg\|colors of Paris}} and other color schemes. Then, the {{Wiki\|File:Flag of France (1790–1794).svg\|older flag design}} with the reversed order of colors was used from 1790–1794. The current design was approved on 15 February 1794.
