Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the three coup d'à tats staged in Cisalpine, in an attempt to bring this republic under full French control. The first, enacted by the French diplomat Trouvà and supported by the Directory, succeeded in establishing a new constitution, one similar to that of France. This was immediately followed by a second, staged by the French general Brune, who sought to give more power to the Jacobins and anarchists. However, the Directory annulled Brune's coup, and sent a third envoy, Rivaud, to restore the original constitution, albeit with some modifications and compromises. Through this account, the author explores the tensions between French ambitions and the desire for independence of the Cisalpine government, as well as the complex interactions between the French military, diplomats, and revolutionary agitators.
