The Thermidorians & The Directory

Sinopse

The Thermadorians was a French political group active during the French Revolution. The group was named for the Thermidorian Reaction in 1794, when its members, led by Paul Barras, Jean-Lambert Tallien and Joseph Fouché, formed a coup d'état against Robespierre and Saint-Just, that were executed with their supporters, on the 27th of July, 1794. The after days, the Thermidorians took over the majority in the National Convention, and in 1795 a new constitution was expressed, with the National Convention that was desestablished for the creation of the French Directory. The Thermidorians became a republican and bourgeoise group, and like the new constitution, also conservative on social themes and liberal on economic themes.
