Recommended: What caused the French revolution

In my previous blogs, I came to a conclusion that remain indecisive as I have one point on why the Illuminati can still exist (my second blog) and one against (my third blog). In this blog, I will be investigating the first major event that the Illuminati may have played a hand in, The French Revolution. If they did play a hand, it would prove that the Illuminati did exist during this period in time.

What was the French Revolution?

The French Revolution was a bloody rebellion that lasted from 1789 to 1799. During that period in time, the French people rebelled against the royal monarchy, demanding changes to the political system.

Firstly, the Illuminati created resentment within the French commoners towards the upper class. The Illuminati then preached of ideals, such as equality, that were uncommon during that time period. The commoners bought into this. The Illuminati then organized rebellions to take over certain French fortresses, to seize power from the upper class. The rest is believed to be history, as rioters would go on to kill the king and queen, uprooting the French monarchy, only to have it replaced by a dictatorship, when Napoleon, the greatest conqueror to have ever lived, became

    Ewoh (2009) explained that in the late 18th century, conspiracy theorists began speculating that the Illuminati had survived their suppression and become the masterminds behind the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. The Illuminati was accused of being subversives who were attempting to secretly orchestrate a revolutionary wave in Europe and the rest of the world in order to spread the most radical ideas and movements of the Enlightenment. Then in the 19th century, fear of an Illuminati conspiracy was a real concern for European ruling classes and their oppressive reactions to the very revolutions they wanted to prevent. (p. 6)

    The French Revolution was a period of political upheaval that occurred in France during the latter half of the 18th century. This revolution marked an end to the system of feudalism and the monarchy in France and a rise to democracy and new Enlightenment ideas. By 1789, when the revolution began, France was in a deep financial crisis due to the debt they had obtained over many years of reckless spending and France was nearly bankrupt. These financial issues fell almost completely on the bottom social class or the Third Estate which made up a majority of the country. Because of this financial trouble, the common people were heavily taxed, leaving many of them in poverty.

    In his book Twelve Who Ruled, Palmer eloquently writes this narrative, "weaving the biographies of the twelve into the history of their time," and provides a coherent and convincing explanation of the terror. The book is not only educational for someone interested in the time period when these twelve men ruled the nation of France, but it is also enjoyable from the perspective of a person reading the book solely for interest in revolutions and how they affect the people who are involved in them. The book deals with a brief period of time during the French Revolution, namely the year of terror. The book ventures to interpret the foundations and rationale for the terror and Palmer illustrates his speculations on the subject through gracious, flowing writing.

  • Jean Paul Marat: Target and Martyr of Liberty

    3987 Words  | 8 Pages

    The French Revolution produced countless influential politicians throughout its tumultuous course. As a political figure in the French Revolution, Jean Paul Marat began as a nonentity and became a martyr to the revolutionary patriots of France. His influence is often misconstrued, and sometimes overlooked. Although he was not a political leader like Robespierre, his influence was substantial in that he motivated many people through his writings and powerful personality. Through his involvement with the Cordeliers’ Club and his journal Ami du peuple, started September 1789, Marat was able to express the indignation of the bourgeois class through his hopes for social revolution. His conspiracy theories and alleged prophetic outlook on the Revolution created an aura of mystery and intrigue around him, as well as detestation. Because he often stood alone behind his radical ideas, Marat became marked as the scapegoat for various controversial events of the period, and was several times forced into hiding to evade the law. Targeting Marat was an easy and effective way for the warring factions in the National Convention to assert their political dominance. It is curious how a virtual unknown and newcomer to government could become so crucial to the politics of the French Revolution, only to be murdered by another unknown in a seemingly isolated event. Marat’s assassination played a great part in what became the cycle of the Terror. Even though he was not a preeminent leader, both his life and death had an impact on the course of the Revolution. Because of his incendiary political beliefs and bold nature, the government targeted Marat, however, his assassination by the outsid...

    Next, more evidence the Illuminati is endeavoring to meet their desires is that they are attempting to change the world so that it suits them in an ameliorated way.
