On 22 September 1792, the French National Convention formally declared the establishment of the French First Republic, ending centuries of monarchical rule.
This momentous decision marked the culmination of years of revolutionary fervour and deep dissatisfaction with the monarchy, particularly the absolutist reign of Louis XVI.
The proclamation not only stripped the king of his powers but also symbolised the people's assertion of sovereignty, reshaping France's political landscape forever.
With this bold move, France stepped into a tumultuous yet transformative phase, laying the foundation for modern republican ideals and igniting a wave of revolutionary spirit across Europe.
