1792 CE to 1803 CE

Also in March 1793, the civil war of the Vendée against Paris starts, evoked by both the Civil Constitution of the Clergy of 1790 and the nationwide army conscription early 1793; elsewhere in France rebellion is brewing too.

A factionalist feud in the National Convention, smoldering ever since October 1791, comes to a climax with the group of the 'Girondins' being forced to resign and leave the Convention on June 2, 1793.

The counter-revolution, begun in March 1793 in the Vendée, had spread to Brittany, Normandy, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Toulon, and Lyon by July.

The Convention government of Paris between October and December 1793 manages to subdue most internal uprisings with brutal measures at the cost of tens of thousands of lives.

Some historians consider the civil war to have lasted until 1796 with a toll of possibly four hundred and fifty thousand lives.

France abolishes slavery in its American colonies in February 1794, but will later reintroduce the insititution.
