Join Kimi and Emily for part 2 of talking about the year 1790 in the French Revolution, one of the messiest years we have gone over yet, on either side. In the second half of 1790, French Revolution focused on implementing key reforms, such as reorganizing administrative divisions into departments and enforcing the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which sought to bring the Catholic Church under state control. These measures intensified divisions between revolutionaries and conservative factions, laying the groundwork for future conflicts and unrest.
