War and Terrorism - POLS-223-DWA Module 3 Discussion Topic Let's dive in. There are two components to this activity. Making specific reference to this week’s readings, you are first asked to create an original post responding to the questions found below. Next, I kindly ask that you respond to one of your peers in a separate post. Questions 1. What was the French Revolution and which condition do you personally think was the most important in allowing it to come about? 2. In your opinion, what was the most shocking example of violence during the French Revolution? 3. Was your chosen example a reflection of political violence, and was it necessary? Define political violence before answering this question. 4. What is the connection between the French Revolution and "terrorism"? Boring (but important!) details... Your original post should be at minimum 8 - 10 sentences in length, using proper sentence and paragraph structure. Your original post should contain everything that is being asked of you in these instructions. I encourage you to use subtitles to separate your content as this will make your answers more organized. Incorporate theoretical and empirical details drawn from readings and learning materials to support your ideas. You can use outside sources if you want (it is not a requirement), but you must first use the course materials, and the outside sources can only be scholarly books or peer-reviewed journal articles drawn from the Humber Libraries website: https://library.humber.ca/ . Finally, please make sure that you use APA to reference all of the sources you use. For a guide as to how to use APA, please click here: https://library.humber.ca/APA-MLA . Don't forget to have both in-text and end-of- text citations. Here is the template: Answer The French Revolution

The financial crisis was one of the key factors that made the French Revolution possible. Due to its role in the American Revolution, France acquired significant debt, which the monarchy was unable to effectively address. Food was expensive, while average workers' salaries were inadequate. The financial crisis made the lower classes, who were already unhappy with their social and economic circumstances, incredibly poor and hungry. This unhappiness, along with concepts from the Enlightenment about liberty, equality, and fraternity, sparked the French Revolution in 1789. Violence during the Revolution Several horrifying acts of violence occurred during the French Revolution, particularly the Reign of Terror, a time of intense political repression that lasted from 1793 to 1794. Thousands of people were put to death by guillotine during this time. "Political violence is the deliberate use of power and force to achieve political goals" (Sousa, 2013). The Reign of Terror was a reflection of political violence. The extremist Jacobins in charge during the Reign of Terror believed that in order to guarantee the security of the revolution and to defend it against external and internal foes, counter-revolutionaries must be put to death (Ray, 2018). The connection between the French Revolution and "terrorism" is the Reign of Terror time period that took place. It is where the term terrorism originated from, and "terrorism" was used to describe the mass murders caused by the Jacobins extremists . Ray, M. (2018, May 23).
