Demonstration of 20 June 1792
The demonstration of 20 June 1792 (French: Journée du 20 juin 1792) was the last peaceful attempt made by the people of Paris to persuade King Louis XVI of France to abandon his policy of lying and to govern with sympathy for all. The demonstration was in line with the Revolution by respecting the wishes of the Legislative Assembly, by defending France against foreign invasion and by preserving the Constitution. The demonstrators hoped that the king would withdraw his veto and recall the Girondin ministers. This event was the last phase of the unsuccessful attempt to establish a constitutional monarchy in France, and it resulted in the fall of the monarchy after the insurrection of 10 August 1792.
