Was Edmund Burke’s condemnation of the French Revolution justified? Be sure to check out Issues & Controversies in History’s complete and unbiased coverage of this issue. Learn more about the issue and check out a sample of the pro/con arguments on both sides below. THE ISSUE In 1789, the French Revolution erupted in Paris. Challenging the authority of the monarchy, the aristocracy, and the church, the revolutionaries formed a new government that proclaimed liberty and equality for all. The revolutionaries became increasingly radical, and in 1793, they executed the king and queen and instituted a “Reign of Terror” in which thousands of people were killed. Across the English Channel in London in 1790, Edmund Burke, an Irish-born politician and philosopher, published Reflections on the Revolution in France, a treatise that harshly criticized the violence and chaos unfolding in France. Burke’s treatise, which would become one of the most influential works in British political history, also seemed to predict the regicide and Reign of Terror to come. Was Edmund Burke right to condemn the French Revolution? Issues & Controversies in History links this pro/con article to rich related resources that enhance the debate. Students and researchers can delve into primary sources […]
