The insurrection of 31 May \u2013 2 June 1793<\/b> (French<\/a>: Journ\u00e9es du 31 mai et du 2 juin 1793<\/i>, lit.<\/abbr>\u2009‘<\/span>Day of 31 May to 2 June 1793<\/span>‘<\/span>), during the French Revolution, started after the Paris commune<\/a> demanded that 22 Girondin<\/a> deputies<\/a> and members of the Commission of Twelve<\/a> should be brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal<\/a>. Jean-Paul Marat<\/a> led the attack on the representatives in the National Convention, who in January had voted against the execution of the King<\/a> and since then had paralyzed the convention. It ended after thousands of armed citizens surrounded the convention to force it to deliver the deputies denounced by the Commune. The insurrection resulted in the fall of 29 Girondins and two ministers under pressure of the sans-culottes<\/a><\/i>, Jacobins<\/a>, and Montagnards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Due to its impact and importance, the insurrection stands as one of the three great popular insurrections of the French Revolution, following those of 14 July 1789<\/a> (the storming of the Bastille<\/a>) and 10 August 1792<\/a>.[<\/span>1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> The principal conspirators were the Enrag\u00e9s<\/a>: Claude-Emmanuel Dobsen and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Varlet<\/a>. Jean-Nicolas Pache<\/a> and Pierre Gaspard Chaumette<\/a> led the march on the convention.<\/p>\n
