The Besançon Commune (in French Commune de Besançon) was a short-lived revolutionary movement conceived and developed in 1871, aiming at the proclamation of a local autonomous power based on the Lyon and Paris experiences. [1] It originates from social upheavals which metamorphosed the city [2] [1] and with the emergence of unions including a section of IWA in connection with the future Jura Federation. [3] [4] [5] [6] [1] The course of events was precipitated by the Franco-Prussian War, the fall of the Second Empire, and the advent of the Third Republic. [7] [1] While many notables testify to an insurrectionary context [8] and armed support from Switzerland being organized, [9] [10] [1] the correspondence left by James Guillaume and Mikhail Bakunin [11] [12] attest to a planned release between the end of May and the beginning of June 1871. [1] However, with the start of the Semaine sanglante on 21 May and the pursuit of an internal campaign until 7 June, any attempt was seriously compromised. [1] Despite the hope of a restart, in the following weeks and months the idea of an insurrection was definitively abandoned, later reinforced by the extinction of groups and activities described as "anarchist" from 1875.
