Lecture 6 - Maximilien Robespierre and the French Revolution part 2/5

Sehr empfehlenswerte Vorlesung von Professor John Merriman Yale University,
September 22, 2008 über die Französiche Revolution und Robespierre.
Englische Untertitle (Originaltext in Englisch) und Deutsche Untertitel habe ich hardcodiert. Deutsche Untertitel wurden mit Open Subtitel Translator übersetzt. Es ist eine Rohübersetzung, die zusammen mit dem Schulenglisch als Übersetzungshilfe reichen sollte.
English subtitles (original text in english) and german subtitles are hardcoded. German subtitles were made by Open Subtitel Translator, ist's a rough translation from english, which may help.

Overview:
Robespierre's ascetic personal life and severe philosophy of political engagement are attributed by some to his difficult childhood. As a revolutionary, one of his most significant insights was that the Revolution was threatened not only by France's military adversaries abroad, but also by domestic counter-revolutionaries. Under this latter heading were gathered two major groups, urban mercantilists and rural peasants. Relative strength of religious commitment is the major factor in explaining why some regions of France rose up in defense of the monarchy while others supported the Revolution.
