rumors of foreign intervention to end the revolution.
Explanation: fears that Austria/Prussia and other monarchies would invade (Declaration of Pillnitz, then the Brunswick Manifesto) convinced radicals the Revolution was under external threat, provoking harsher measures (September Massacres, Jacobin ascendancy, the Terror). Economic hardship and political breakdown mattered, but foreign intervention and the rumor of it were the main spur to violent escalation.
