September Massacres (9 ч 16 мин, 2 сент 1792 г. – 11 ч 45 мин, 6 сент 1792 г.)

Описание:

The September Massacres were a series of massacres of the prisoners of Paris. During them, roughly 1300 people (50% of the Parisian prison population) were killed by assassins numbering in the 150s-200s. They began over fears that a great counterrevolutionary revolt would spill forth from French prisons when the men went off to fight the Prussians and as a result, were largely perpetrated against those perceived to be counterrevolutionary or otherwise dangerous. The assassins were sans-culottes and tried victims in a court before killing them and disfiguring the corpses.
