This episode traces the move from constitutional experiment to war in late 1791–early 1792. Holland and Sandbrook introduce the Girondins (led by Jacques-Pierre Brissot and allies who gather in Madame Roland's salon) and explain how factionalism in the new Legislative Assembly, economic collapse, rural disorder and the Saint-Domingue slave revolt radicalized politics.
