Ha Ha ha.

We rule. We rule
the streets.

The moderates are pushed aside. The
Radicals take control of the Revolution.

We must save
the great revolution from
the monarchists, their spies,
foreign Agents, and foreign

armies.

Death!

Death to them
All!

A committee of public safety is
created. Its purpose? To save the
Revolution from its enemies at home
and abroad.

Georges Danton It will
take bold steps
and strong action to
save the revolution.

We must
find those who would
destroy us and France.
Then, we must chop off

their heads without
mercy.

France. Search your

agents, and those who
would betray us to bring

committee of public safety
so they can be dispatched to

the just death quickly.

The Radicals shout that every Frenchman
now has a place in the Rule of the Republic.
And every Frenchman must defend the
Republic and the Revolution that gave him a
place in government.

Revolution is
not that bad.

Death
to those who
disagree with

us!

vive La
Revolution!

Danton dies. Stabbed to death in his bathtub. A new
man takes control of the Committee of public
Safety. A much more Radical man. Meet Maximillian
Robespierre. Lawyer and revolutionary.

I shall have no mercy for

Good riddance you old

But, perhaps you should remember, little
street thug, what goes around comes around.

It’s not too long before someone turns “Thug
