historiographical dispute over 6 February 1934
1934년 2월 6일을 둘러싼 역사학적 논쟁
This concept denotes the historiographical debate over whether the 6 February 1934 demonstrations in Paris constituted a coordinated fascist coup or a violent but uncoordinated riot by anti-parliamentary right-wing leagues. Historians weigh the leagues’ aims and command structures, the demonstrations’ course, and documentary evidence for an intended seizure of parliament.
In depth
One side of the debate is the “fascist coup” interpretation advanced by the contemporary left. The leagues’ paramilitary appearance, anti-parliamentarianism, leader cults, and violence are cited as evidence of their relationship to fascism. Other scholarship rejects a unified seizure plan, stressing the leagues’ divergent aims and organisation, especially François de La Rocque’s refusal to order the Croix-de-Feu to attack parliament. The term therefore allows the event’s violence to be retained while examining which sources and political memories sustain the categories of “riot” and “coup”.
