During the Great Fear,________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Great Fear was a period during the French Revolution marked by disturbances in cities and in the countryside. These disturbances included rioting and uprisings by peasants who were angry about their living conditions and the high price of bread. The fear of violence during this period was widespread and contributed to the sense of instability and crisis in France at the time. The other options are incorrect; there is no indication that peasants demanded Louis XVI's execution during the Great Fear or that the liberal nobles gained new titles and wealth. While some nobles did eventually make concessions to the peasantry, there is no suggestion that they refused to do so during the Great Fear.
