WHAT DOES DIRECTOIRE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Directoire

French Directory

The Directory was the government of France during the second to last stage of the French Revolution. The five directors exercised power, only one of whom, Lazare Carnot, has a reputation for leadership or political sagacity. It operated following the National Convention and preceding the Consulate. It lasted 2 November 1795 until 10 November 1799, a period commonly known as the "Directory era." It was overthrown by Napoleon. The Directory at first had some success in foreign-policy, especially after Napoleon's conquests in Italy. It annexed Belgium and the left bank of the Rhine River, and set up satellite regimes in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and most of Italy. The conquered lands were forced to provide huge subsidies to the French treasury, which otherwise was bankrupt. On the domestic front however, conditions went from bad to worse and the Directory responded by repression. The period was a time of economic depression in France, with famines and widespread distress following the crop failure of 1795. Inflation was raging as the paper money was worth less than 1% of its face value. There was a major civil war in the Vendée region.
