History of the Commune of 1871

During the hardships of the Franco-Prussian War, working-class radicalism grew among soldiers. In March 1871, soldiers of the National Guard seized control of the city. They refused to accept the authority of the French government instead of attempting to establish an independent government. These events entered history under the name of the Paris Commune of 1871. The Commune governed Paris for two months. Their policies were directed toward a progressive, anti-religious system of social democracy, including the separation of church and state, self-policing, the remission of rent during the siege, the abolition of child labor, and the right of employees to take over an enterprise deserted by its owner. The Commune was eventually suppressed by the French national Army in May 1871. This book presents the history of Commune from the point of view of the participants.
