Jérôme Pétillant: 我宣布废除君主制，国家的自由将由法律的力量来捍卫。这是法国和欧洲历史上的一个重大时刻，标志着新时代的开始。 Dominic: 法国君主制的废除是法国和欧洲历史上的一个重大时刻，它引发了整个欧洲的震动。新的国民公会拥有无限的权力来重塑国家，所有21岁以上且非仆人的男性都可以投票，但这在战争和收割季节的背景下，投票率很低，并且存在着许多恐吓行为。 Tom: 在普鲁士军队逼近巴黎的背景下，巴黎的街道充满了战争准备的气氛。人们敲响教堂的钟声，在塞纳河上架设大炮，志愿者们涌向城门，准备保卫城市。 Bishop of Blois: 国王在道德世界中就像怪物在物理世界中一样，他们的宫廷是罪恶的工场和暴君的巢穴。因此，废除君主制是理所当然的。 Goethe: 我见证了世界历史新时代的开始，你们都可以说你们见证了它的诞生。 Peasant soldier: 我们被新的勇气所激励，这种勇气将使暴君颤抖。自由、平等、我的祖国！ Marat: 如果你们投票谴责我，我将在你们面前开枪自杀。我支持独裁统治，我认为独裁统治将是伟大的。 Robespierre: 我鼓励暴力，因为这是拯救国家的唯一方式。法国必须选择，要么是哲学家派（吉伦特派），要么是杀人犯派（山岳派）。路易必须死，因为祖国必须活下去。 Brissot: 我一直在与这些可悲的无政府主义者斗争，而不是专注于全球起义。我们将解放那不勒斯、西班牙、波兰，甚至可能到达柏林和莫斯科。这将是最后的战争，历史的终结，每一场战斗都将迈向和平、人类和幸福。 Jean-Baptiste Louvet: 法国必须选择，要么是哲学家派（吉伦特派），要么是杀人犯派（山岳派）。 William Wordsworth: Louvet的攻击没有奏效，他没有得到预期的支持，这有点令人尴尬和失望。 Louis-Antoine Saint-Just: 路易十六必须死，因为他是一个国王，没有一个国王可以无辜地统治。他必须死，以确保人民的安宁。

“From this place and from this day forth commences a new era in the world’s history, and you can all say you were present at its birth!”

By September 1792, the Prussians, under the leadership of the formidable Duke of Brunswick, were closing in on revolutionary Paris. There, the streets roiled with the clanging of church bells, thousands of volunteers, patriotic songs and slogans, and of course; the dead bodies of all those killed during the September Massacres. It was against this feverish backdrop that on the 20th, the new National Convention - the most democratic of the assemblies yet, with unlimited powers to remake the nation - met at the famous Riding School. And though it was riven by internal rivalries under the contentious three headed triumvirate of Danton, Marat and Robespierre, remake the nation it did. Voting to abolish the monarchy once and for all, the Convention declared the institution of a new world and a new beginning for France, with all state documents from that day forth bearing the immortal words, ‘Year One’. But, with their Prussian enemies baying at the gates, would revolutionary France survive to see more than one year? A great military reckoning was approaching, which would decide the fate of the new Republic and perhaps, universal liberty. As the armies of France and Prussia met for what would prove to be one of the most ideologically significant battles of all time, political tensions were mounting in Paris…

Join Dominic and Tom for this crucial, tremulous episode of the French Revolution. With Prussia closing in, bodies littering the streets, and the revolutionary leaders hungry for each other's blood, would the Revolution survive?
