The 13 Vendémiaire uprising was a French royalist rebellion in Paris on 5 October 1795. This clash played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Directory, a new form of government, and marked a crucial moment in the rapid ascent of Republican General Napoleon Bonaparte's career.
Background
The fall of Robespierre in July 1794 marked the end of the Reign of Terror and ushered in a more moderate phase of the French Revolution. However, concerns over the resurgence of royalist influence led the Convention to pass the "Decree of the Two Thirds" in August 1795, ensuring that the vast majority of members in the upcoming assemblies would be from the current Convention.[1]
As the elections approached in mid-October 1795, Parisian royalists sought to challenge this decree, leading to unrest and insurgency by seven Paris sections on 11 Vendémiaire. In response, the Convention tasked Paul Barras with military measures, with Napoleon Bonaparte emerging as the de facto military leader on the field.[1]
Vendémiaire
On October 5, during the events of 13 Vendémiaire, insurgents, estimated to be around 25,000, advanced towards the Convention at the Tuileries. Napoleon, equipped with cannons provided by Joachim Murat, received orders from Barras to open fire. The use of grapeshot proved highly effective in the urban setting, resulting in approximately 300 casualties among the Royalists.[1]
Aftermath
One of the royalists, François-Joseph Carbon, managed to survive and avoid capture, and he attempted to assassinate Napoleon five years later. However, this plot was foiled by an Assassin team led by Arno Dorian, who killed Carbon and his co-conspirators.[2]
