A proposito di questo titolo

 This episode dives into the September Massacres of 1792, a brutal five-day period when Parisian mobs slaughtered over a thousand prisoners, including priests, nobles, and common criminals. We explore the panicked atmosphere as Prussian and Austrian armies marched on Paris, the role of journalist Jean-Paul Marat in inciting violence, and the makeshift tribunals that preceded the killings. We also examine the political fallout: how the massacres radicalised the Revolution, deepened the rift between the Girondins and the Montagnards, and set the stage for the Reign of Terror. Key figures include Georges Danton, who as Minister of Justice may have orchestrated or permitted the massacres; the Princesse de Lamballe, Marie Antoinette's confidante, whose brutal death shocked Europe; and the sans-culottes who led the slaughter. We discuss the contested historical interpretations: were the massacres a spontaneous outburst of fear, a calculated political purge, or both? The episode also touches on the Prison de l'Abbaye and the Carmes prison as primary sites of violence. No prior episode has covered this pivotal moment, which transformed the Revolution from a political struggle into a social war.
