We close the French Revolution at the Thermidorean Reaction and the execution of Robespierre. We treat the conspiracy to overthrow Robespierre as a self fulfilling prophecy. Once you know Robespierre is against you, he will kill you, so you begin a conspiracy against him.
But first we go into some of the cultural changes driven by the Revolution. Sculpture, public exposure to art, the calendars and measurement systems, and fashion.
Then we go into the Cult of Reason and the Cult of the Supreme Being. These are weird enough to be difficult to believe ever really happened.
