1.15 The October Days

A great revolt consumes Paris. Hungry, fearful, and outraged by events at Versailles, tens of thousands of Parisians marched on the court.

These events remain the source of great controversy, with historians failing to agree on the causes of the March of the Market Women in October 1789.
