In June 1793, factional disputes with the Convention resulted in the replacement of the Girondins with the Jacobins, a far more radical group. |

The Girondins wanted to export the Revolution throughout Europe and, by extension, to defend the Revolution within France. |
|
Incessant screaming from the public galeries suggested that all of Paris was against the Girondins. |
|
Late that night after much more tumultuous debate, indeed dozens of Girondins had resigned and left the Convention. |
|
The King, many of the Feuillants, and the Girondins specifically wanted to wage war. |
|
During her time in Paris, Wollstonecraft associated mostly with the moderate Girondins rather than the more radical Jacobins. |
|
However, the fall of the Girondins on 31 May 1793 led to Otto's dismissal and arrest. |
|
Despite her sympathy for the revolution, life for Wollstonecraft become very uncomfortable, all the more so as the Girondins had lost out to the Jacobins. |
|
Regarded as an ally of the Girondins, he was seen with increasing disfavor by the Montagnards who were now in power, and in particular by Robespierre. |
|
Petitions circulated, indicting and condemning 22 Girondins. |
