PANDORA’S BOX

In 1792, the monarchies of Europe, seeking to deter revolt in their own lands, marched on France to end the fracas. The invaders publicly vowed to restore Louis XVI to his full powers and to crush all further revolutionary dissent. This manifesto had a far more deleterious effect than any royalist could have imagined. To the immediate detriment of their cause, the defiant French imprisoned the king and abolished the monarchy. More importantly, the people, from merchants to peasant farmers, rose up en masse to fight. Within months, a motley army of raw recruits and career soldiers halted the invasion. In the immediate aftermath, the political situation in Europe was greatly exacerbated. In the long term, by swamping the professional armies of their enemies, which fought only for gold, the French showed the world the raw power of nationalism for the first time. To this day, we live with the consequences of 1792.
