Victory at Fleurus: Saint-Just Brings News of Revolutionary Triumph

On June 28, 1794, French revolutionary leader Louis Antoine de Saint-Just returned to Paris from the northern front carrying news of a major victory. The Revolutionary Army had defeated Austrian forces at the Battle of Fleurus, a crucial clash during the French Revolutionary Wars.

The victory strengthened the position of Maximilien Robespierre and his allies, who saw military success as proof that the Revolution was overcoming its enemies. Fleurus also helped secure France’s borders and marked a turning point in the conflict with European coalitions.

However, the triumph came during the height of the Reign of Terror, and the political tensions surrounding Robespierre and Saint-Just would soon lead to their downfall.

@octavodecimo I just saw your post and I'm actually writing some saintspierre right now. It starts with the trial of Louis Capet and its long nights of work, as well as with the problem of subsistence which I think Robespierre and Saint Just must have discussed at length between them and even bonded over (their respective discourses on the subject were two days apart and clearly a conjoined effort)! I'm calling it La liberté ou la mort for now.

But it will take me some time because I want to be very throughout with my research. And I'm writing it in French and will have to translate it into English as well...

Saviez-vous que le premier distributeur automatique date du 1er siècle après J.C. ?  Que ce sont ensuite les anglais qui ont popularisé ces machines automatisées en créant les premiers distributeurs de tabac au XVIIe siècle ? Qu'un autre anglais, en 1883, a lancé la mode aux US avec son distributeur de cartes postales racheté par le fondateur de l'industrie du chewing-gum ? Qu'il y a eu ensuite pléthore de machines à pièces qui délivraient à peu près tout et n'importe quoi ? La petite histoire des distributeurs automatiques est disponible sur le blog. D'après la sélection photographique en fin d'article, quel est le distributeur que vous aimeriez trouver aujourd'hui à côté de chez vous ? Pour moi ce serait sans aucune hésitation le distributeur de 45 tr !
