Start[edit | edit source]

id

Msg event.pngThe Estates General


With revolutionary ideas spreading across Europe, and following decades of high taxation and poor harvests, the widespread dissatisfaction at [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s absolutist rule can no longer be ignored. The [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] has been forced to reconvene the Estates General, a feat unseen for over a century, to have the deputees devise a reform program that will lead to a way forward for [Root.GetName]. However, compromise between the various factions will no doubt prove difficult, and already the divisions between the old order and radical groups are threatening to explode into conflict!

Msg event.pngThe Storming of the Bastille


Following months of stalled debates in the Estates General, in which the very composition of the assembly could barely be agreed upon, let alone a course of action for social, economic and constitutional reform, the revolutionary masses have had enough. Today, on [GetDateText] - a date that will go down in [Root.GetAdjective] history - fed up with the lack of progress, the people took matters into their own hands: a mob gathered and stormed the Bastille, a prison fortress towering over Paris as a symbol of royal oppression. Although [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] called in the troops, [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] was left powerless as the army refused to fire on the people and instead joined the revolt.

Now, with a surge of revolutionary zeal coursing through the masses, France has been declared a Republic. The Revolution has arrived...

Msg event.pngThe Reign of Terror


Not everyone is happy with the course the Revolution has taken. Reactionaries are everywhere, ever seeking an opportunity to restore the monarchy. This has brought the militantly radical faction led by a certain Robespierre to power in the National Assembly. They are agitating for a campaign to root out the 'enemy within' through mass arrests of 'thought-to-be' royalist sympathizers and the liberal application of Madame Guillotine.

Not satisfied with being merely First Consul, Napoléon Bonaparte is proposing that he be crowned Emperor of the French. He justifies this by claiming that restoring the hereditary succession would make it harder to restore the former kings of France to power - after all, there have been several royalist plots on his life - but there is little doubt that his prime motivation is to further his own ambitions for supreme power. The proposal has met with widespread support among the populace, who yearn for the relative stability of the pre-revolutionary years; however, diehard supporters of the Revolution express worry at this attempt to concentrate even more power in Napoléon's hands.

Msg event.pngThe French Gamble for Supremacy


In 1809 Austria had been crushed and Prussia was occupied. France was at war with England but had managed to vassalize Spain. Russia was her ally, and everything looked perfect until 1812, when the Russians did not fulfill their obligations in the Continental Blockade against England as they had become wary of French power. In June France invaded Russia with more than a half million men. The Russians made a slow retreat to even the odds as the French army was shrinking from attrition. The Battle of Borodino (September 5-7) started as a bloody struggle, but thanks to luck and a diversion attack by Marshal Ney, the Russian Army was annihilated. Napoleon then decided to hold his Grand Armee, spreading it out for winter. Supply lines were secured, and a smaller task force called L'Armee Baltique moved up occupying the Baltic coast up to St Petersburg, which it took by assault. When late spring came, Napoleon again had more than half a million men in Russia and was advancing. During the winter Napoleon had restructured Poland under Poniatowski and recreated the Kingdom of Ukraine under Chielmkowski, easing the supply effort. On 30 June 1813 Russia surrendered, unwilling to let Moscow perish in flames. France was the master of Europe...
