Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rule of the Directory, which lasted from 1795 to 1799, marked a shift in the French revolution towards more pragmatic and moderate governance. The Directory was established after the most radical stage of the revolution, during which the French monarchy was abolished, Louis XVI was executed, and the Reign of Terror took place. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen was written during the early stages of the revolution, and France was not defeated by a combined army until the later Napoleonic Wars.
