On this day in 1871 the Paris Commune fell. The Commune took power in opposition to the conservative royalist National Assembly which was elected in February 1871. Republican Parisians feared the Assembly would restore the monarchy. When government officials tried to remove the cannons of the city’s guards on March 18th the Commune seized power and were elected on March 26th.

The Commune was brutally repressed by the national government, with 20,000 insurrectionists being killed before the Commune fell on May 28th.
