Changes

The '''Thermidorian Reaction''' is so named beacuse it began in the month of Thermidor on the Revolutionary Calender (July 19 - August 17) of the year II (1794). It was a reaction to the [[Reign of Terror]] after the execution of [[Maximilien de Robespierre]]. The original Thermidorians were made up of members of the two committees (The [[CPS]] and [[CGS]]), members of the moderate party and ex-terrorists. The moderates rose to take control, and as they had benefited greatly from the Revolution, they saw no need for the return of the Monarchy. They also disliked the [[Jacobins]].
