 Isegoria: Thermidor
Thermidor was the eleventh month in the French Republican Calendar, which was used only in France and only for thirteen years.
It was the middle month of summer (being named for heat), and started on the equivalent to July 19 or 20th in the Gregorian Calendar.
Consequently, for historians of revolutionary movements, the term Thermidor has come to mean the phase in some revolutions when the political pendulum swings back towards something resembling a pre-revolutionary state, and power slips from the hands of the original revolutionary leadership.

The Girondin leaders were driven from the National Convention, and the Montagnards, who had the support of the Paris sansculottes (workers, craftsmen, and shopkeepers), seized power and kept it until 9 Thermidor, year II, of the new French republican calendar (July 27, 1794).
Opposition, however, was broken by the Reign of Terror (19 Fructidor, year I, Thermidor, year II [September 5, 1793] [July 27, 1794]), which entailed the arrest of at least 300,000 suspects, 17,000 of whom were sentenced to death and executed while more died in prisons or were killed without any form of trial.
Robespierre, "The Incorruptible," who had sponsored the restrictions, was overthrown in the National Convention on 9 Thermidor, year II (July 27, 1794), and executed the following day.
