ANATOMY OF A REVOLUTION

CRANE BRINTON

• Today we are going to think like historians and model an analysis of the French Revolution after Crane Brinton’s model

• Brinton was a 20th century historian who studied revolutions and created a model and way of examining revolutions

• Our T/E skill today will focus on Critical Thinking (C-5): Demonstrating Understanding of Concepts

• Saw revolutions as a fever. It starts with symptoms. He developed a key list:

WHICH OF THE SYMPTOMS FIT THE FRENCH REVOLUTION?

1. People from all social classes are discontented

2. People feel restless and held down by unacceptable restrictions in society, religion, the economy, or the government

3. The scholars and thinkers give up on the way their society operates

4. The government does not respond to the needs of its society

5. The government is unable to get enough support from any group to

save itself

6. The government cannot organize its finances correctly and is either going bankrupt and/or trying to tax heavily and unjustly
