- Abstract
The article focuses on the recruitment by French Army in the District of Poitiers in 1793. In 1793, the French National Convention passed three laws through which it applied the principle of universal compulsory military service on a large scale. It was in response to the shortage of the personnel in the army during the war with Austria and Prussia which started in the spring of 1792. The District of Poitiers was one of the six districts, where the recruitment was to be done. But there was a resistance to the new conscription law in the District of Poitiers.
