The green cockade that turned his crowd into a revolution

This episode explores the story of Camille Desmoulins, a young lawyer whose impromptu speech in a Parisian café sparked the French Revolution. It delves into the circumstances that led to his pivotal moment and the unexpected trajectory of his revolutionary ideas.

Person: Camille Desmoulins
Date: July 12, 1789
Location: Palais-Royal, Paris
Event: Dismissal of Jacques Necker
Status: France was functionally bankrupt

- Camille Desmoulins, a lawyer unable to practice due to a stammer, spent four years writing political pamphlets and letters while living in poverty.
- On July 12, 1789, Desmoulins climbed onto a café table in the Palais-Royal and, losing his stammer, called for a visible sign to distinguish patriots.
- He suggested green cockades, made from leaves, which were quickly adopted by the crowd but abandoned two days later for red and blue.
- Desmoulins armed himself and joined the attack on the Hôtel des Invalides, which preceded the fall of the Bastille.
- His pamphlet, "La France Libre," published days after the Bastille fell, explicitly called for a republic, a radical stance at the time.
