rbzpr:Danton’s Corruption: Research ProjectHello, citizens! Since the beginning of the Revolution, the question if Danton was corrupt has caused much controversy, and this debate is still ongoing today. While many historians dismiss it as pure speculation based on rumours, personally, I think there is enough evidence to conclude that Danton was indeed corrupt, so in the course of this project, I will collect, translate and compile various articles, primary sources or studies which provide evidence for Danton’s corruption. Feel free to add if I forgot anything!
