Popular Article: National Convention
The National Convention (French: Convention nationale) was a parliament of the French Revolution, following the two-year National Constituent Assembly and the one-year Legislative Assembly. Created after the great insurrection of 10 August 1792, it was the first French government organized as a republic, abandoning the monarchy altogether. The Convention sat as a single-chamber assembly from September 20, 1792 to October 26, 1795 (4 Brumaire IV under the Convention's adopted calendar).
