The Paris Commune of 1871 was established on March 26, 1871, following elections held by the Central Committee of the National Guard [fr]. This revolutionary government was inspired by the earlier Paris Commune of 1792 and realized the aspirations of the social movement. The Commune saw the formation of an assembly representing all republican factions of the era, though the more moderate members soon left, leaving control to the more radical elements who drew upon Jacobinism, Blanquism, socialism, and anarchism.[1] The elected members served on the Commune Council.
