Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the profound impact of the 1789 French Revolution on the nearby independent city-state of Lià ge. Lià ge, an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire, fell into crisis in 1789 as citizens inspired by the events in France rose against their prince-bishop and demanded radical political changes. The author places this local uprising within the broader context of contemporary Enlightenment political thought, exploring the ideas that motivated the reformers and shaped their revolutionary program. The book follows the twists and turns of the ensuing power struggle between the revolutionaries and the forces of reaction, both domestic and foreign. The successful counter-revolution of 1791, backed by imperial troops, resulted in the restoration of the old regime and the emigration of many of the revolution's leading figures. The author also analyzes the international diplomatic maneuvers surrounding the events in Lià ge, highlighting the complex and often conflicting interests of the major European powers. This book enhances our understanding of the dynamics of revolutionary movements, state repression, and the interplay of local and international politics during this tumultuous period in European history.
