Explanation and Analysis:

The Scarlet Pimpernel takes place in England and France in 1792, during the height of the French Revolution. The conflict had begun two years earlier with the storming of the Bastille and continued with the Reign of Terror, a government campaign that sent thousands of French aristocrats to the guillotine.
