 | | On September_2 1792, news reached Paris that the Duke of Brunswick's Prussian army had invaded France, that Verdun had quickly fallen, that perhaps its aristocratic officers had capitulated too easily, and that the Prussians were advancing quickly toward the capital. |
 | | During this time the Legislative Assembly had almost collapsed, and its successor, the Convention, had just come into being. |
 | | Religious figures also figured prominently among the victims: the massacres occurred during a time of great and rising resentment against the past and present actions of the Roman_Catholic_Church, which eventually led to the temporary dechristianisation of France. |
