	10th of August (French Revolution) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On August 10, 1792, during the French Revolution, a mob — with the backing of a new municipal government of Paris that came to be known as the "insurrectionary" Paris Commune — besieged the Tuileries palace.
		This insurrection and its outcome are most commonly referred to by historians of the Revolution simply as "the 10th of August"; other common designations include "the journée of the 10th of August" (French: journée du 10 août), "the insurrection of the 10th of August", or even "the revolution of the 10th of August".

		The word revolution means "a turn around." This may be a change in the social or political institutions over a relatively short period of time, or a major change in its culture or economy.
		Social and political revolutions are often "institutionalized" when the ideas, slogans, and personalities of the revolution continue to play a prominent role in a country's political culture, long after the revolution's end.
		A political revolution is the forcible replacement of one set of rulers with another (as happened in France and Russia), while a social revolution is the fundamental change in the social structure of a society, such as the Protestant Reformation or the Renaissance.

	The Radical Revolution
		The Revolution, after all, had been staged by the middle class and the wealthier members of the Third Estate; most of the reforms, especially the economic reforms, benefitted only these two groups.
		In August of 1791, Austria and Prussia declared that order, the rights of the monarch, and the privileges of the aristocracy should be restored in France.
		It is almost certain that the Revolution would not have survived but for the dictators during the Reign of Terror who managed, through reorganizing the army and ruthlessly pursuing internal dissidents, to secure the French Republic (for its eventual downfall, of course, at the hands of Napolean).

		The major principle underlying the 4 August decree found legislative expression in the decree of 19 June 1790, which legally abolished the nobility, all its privileges, and, as the excerpt demonstrates, those aspects that seemed particularly contrary to reason.
		When the slaves of Saint Domingue began their revolution in August 1791, the mulattos and free fls took varying and sometimes contradictory positions, some supporting the whites, some taking the side of the slaves, some trying to maintain an independent position.
		In late July and early August 1792, amid ongoing rancor over the King’s role in the government and fears that he would betray the nation to the invading Prussians, various Parisian sections began petitioning for Louis to be deposed.

	THE AUGUST REVOLUTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Prior to August 1945, as far back as the late 1920's, organized revolutionary parties were established with the common cause to fight the French Colonialist regime to regain national independence.
		On August 16, there came the words from a Viet Minh official who said that if the nationalist parties launched a coup d'etat, the Viet Minh would blow up vital segments on the Red River dike to flood the areas around Hanoi to isolate the capital and cause serious problems to the new government.

	The one good day in the French Revolution - August 4th 1789 \| Samizdata.net
		As a youth I was taught to venerate the French Revolution as a glorious milestone in the struggle for the lofty ideals of "libertee, egalitee, fraternitee".
		The revolution installed the Kerensky regime, a coalition caretaker, which was quickly attacked and overthrown in a coup by Lenin and his allies.
		My point, which you apparently missed, was that these revolutions were both betrayed and taken over by people whose only concern was purity of ideology, not the delivery of representative government to the people, or the protection of the rights of the citizens, despite all the flowery, fiery rhetoric.

		The term "lynching" reportedly comes from the name of judge at the end of the Revolution who meted out a decidedly final policy for ensuring that his belief that the number of loyalists in his community should be lower.
		On the frontier- western PA, VA (now WV), and KY, civilian loyalist were either a) merchants who were making lucrative trades among the Indians, or b) people who felt that the rights of the tribes to the lands they lived on should be respected.

		She wrote that “The Revolution happened in your backyard, Even if it was just for a few days in 1781 and 1782.” INDEED, it is true for me, as I live very near the well marked route that Rochambeau and his French army travelled on their way to Yorktown.
		Today, her memorial which was erected in 1926, by the New York Daughters of the American Revolution serves as inspiration for female cadets at all of the military academies.
		At the end of August, to Cornwallis’ surprise, a French fleet commanded by Admiral Francois De Grasse blockaded the Chesapeake Bay and the York River, preventing Cornwallis from escaping or being reinforced by sea.

		He rejected the phony picture painted by the capitalist press that the revolution is held together by the will of an archaic dictator rather than by the support of the masses of Cuban people, of whom half are under 30.
		An important lesson can be drawn from this statement because the best assurance of the revolution's survival-outside of the triumph of the revolution in the advanced capitalist countries-is the increased participation of the Cuban people in the process of running society.
		And since the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the leaders of the Cuban revolution have once again shown their healthy instincts by turning towards the Cuban people in an attempt to deepen the level of their participation in the decision-making process.

	August 4: French Revolution Attacks Christianity
		On the whole, the French Revolution was hostile to Christianity and to that which it had built over the centuries.
		Very early in the revolution, while the king was still alive, the Catholic church was declared the only church of the nation.
		When the Declaration of Rights of Man was issued, it merely tolerated religion, with the words "No one is to be molested for his opinions, even his religious opinions..." A decree in November 1789 declared all church property was at the disposal of the nation.

	Fool.com: Chevy Wants a Revolution [Motley Fool Take] August 10, 2004
		But when I think "revolution," I think futuristic spaceship-mobiles such as the Honda (NYSE: HMC) Insight, plastic Toyotas (NYSE: TM), and Nissans (Nasdaq: NSANY) with no real bumpers to speak of -- just plastic humps fore and aft that crack like an eggshell at the least provocation and cost $1,500 to replace.
		I know, I know, "you can't stop the revolution." Change is everywhere, and Chevy has decided that its old tagline has worn out its usefulness and needs to give way to the new one (which had its first trial balloon late last year).
		Chevy will become a whiz-bang revolutionary, symbolized most illustratively in its Chevrolet SSR -- a beautiful machine, admittedly, but one that seems caught in a post-revolutionary crisis of identity, unsure whether it is a convertible, an SUV, or a pickup -- selling in the low $40,000s.

	DECARO -- Ho Chi Minh's Rhetoric for Revolution
		Teachers, therefore, were supposed to prepare their students not only for the examinations but also for their future role as ‘fathers and mothers of the people.’ Vietnamese officials clung to this self-image long after French administrators, having usurped the mandarins’ power, assumed the rhetorical role of fathers of the Vietnamese population.
		Revolutions may spring from many causes but the Vietnamese Revolution was motivated in the first place by the people’s eagerness to get rid of mandarinic despotism and insolence.
		The Confucian concept of revolution, the mandate from heaven, quan tu, and a world-view perspective are examples of imbedded cultural standards for persuasion.

		The unification of Europe would result in the unification of the workers in all countries, thus removing national antagonisms and chauvinist prejudices which for generations have been the strongest deterrents to the struggle for socialism.
		Its chief opponent was MacArthur whose maneuvers and decrees saved Hirohito from the scrapheap, gave the political tools of the Zaibatsu and the landowners a new base of operations, broke strikes, checked the union movement which had grown to six million members.
		Since it was too costly to maintain Germany and Japan in the position of economic deserts, they forced a class choice in deciding what native forces would supersede the occupation – the anti-fascist and pro-socialist masses or the fascist-minded former capitalist rulers – a choice which they found little difficulty in making.
