Great Fear

The "Great Fear" is a historical phenomenon in the context of the French Revolution referring to a wave of widespread panic and peasant uprisings in the summer of 1789, distinguished by rumors of aristocratic conspiracies to suppress the Third Estate, which fueled rural insurrections and accelerated the collapse of feudal authority.
