Zasady: Dyrektoriat (le Directoire) (1795-1799)

Dyrektoriat był pięcioosobowym komitetem, który rządził Francją od listopada 1795 r., kiedy to zastąpił Komitet Bezpieczeństwa Publicznego, aż do jego obalenia przez Napoleona Bonaparte w zamachu stanu 18 brumaire'a (8-9 listopada 1799 r.) i zastąpienia przez Konsulat. Nadał on swoją nazwę ostatnim czterem latom rewolucji francuskiej.

Rules: The Directory "le Directoire" (1795-1799)

The Directory was a five-member committee which governed France from November 1795, when it replaced the Committee of Public Safety until it was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte in the Coup of 18 Brumaire (8-9 November 1799) and replaced by the Consulate. It gave its name to the final four years of the French Revolution.
