The Demonstration of 20 June 1792 was a final attempt by the _sans-culottes_ of Paris to reconcile King Louis XVI of France (r. 1774-1792) with the French Revolution (1789-99). Prompted by the king's veto of popular decrees, the people invaded the Tuileries Palace and accosted Louis XVI, who greeted them graciously but stood firm in his decisions.
