Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
From March 18 to May 28, 1871, Paris lived through a rare experiment: the Commune. For 72 days, the capital governed itself. It refused to obey the government based in Versailles and tried out a more social kind of democracy.
The uprising was born from a national defeat, a starving siege and a split between a radical Paris and a more conservative countryside. It ended with the Bloody Week.
