Girondin A member of a French political party whose main exponents came from the Gironde region. The Girondins were closely associated with the JACOBINS in the early days of the FRENCH REVOLUTION. They held power at a critical time and were responsible for provoking the wars with France's enemies. The eventual failure of these wars led not only to the king's execution but also to the downfall of the party and the introduction of the Reign of Terror.
