Uncover the reasons for the Thermidorian coup in France

The Thermidorian coup in France was organized by those leaders of the Convention who made their fortune during the revolution mainly on speculation. The measures taken by the Jacobins threatened their well-being and stability. First of all, this refers to the introduction of a maximum price, as well as the rampant terror, in particular, the law “on suspicious” and the subsequent wave of repressions. The main conspirators, future members of the Directory, Talien, Barras and others, understood perfectly well that in such conditions none of them was immune from the guillotine. Therefore, they took decisive action that led to the fall of the Jacobin dictatorship.
