Edmond-Charles Genêt
Edmond-Charles Genet (January 8, 1763July 14, 1834), also known as Citizen Genet, was the French ambassador to the United States during the French Revolution.
==Early life and education==
Genet was born in Versailles in 1763. He was the ninth and final child of a French civil servant, Edmond Jacques Genet (September 11, 1726 – September 11, 1781), who was a head clerk in the ministry of foreign affairs. The elder Genet analyzed British naval strength during the Seven Years' War and monitored the progress of the American Revolutionary War. Genet was a prodigy who could read French, English, Italian, Latin, Swedish, and German by the age of 12.
At 18, Genet was appointed court translator, and in 1788 he was sent to the French embassy in Saint Petersburg. Over time, Genet became disenchanted with the ''ancien régime'', learning to despise not just the French monarchy but all monarchical systems, including Tsarist Russia under Catherine the Great. In 1792, Catherine declared Genet ''persona non grata'', calling his presence "not only superfluous but even intolerable." The same year, the Girondists rose to power in France and appointed Genet to the post of minister to the United States.
