The federalist revolts were a series of rebellions that erupted in several parts of France in the summer of 1793, in response to the concentration of power in Paris during the French Revolution (1789-99). Most of the revolts were crushed within months, leading the victorious Jacobins to implement the Reign of Terror to punish the rebels and enforce their ideology.
