National assets or national domains are domains and possessions of the Church, property of the Crown, as well as the assets of some nobles (buildings, objects, agricultural land, mines, woods and forests) of the First Republic which were confiscated during the French Revolution, in accordance with the decree of November 2, 1789. These are sold through a process of alienation, decided by the law of July 9, 1790, to resolve the financial crisis that caused the Revolution.Lecarpentier: "L'histoire de la Révolution française ne consiste souvent qu'en guerres extérieures et civiles, faits et gestes des assemblées, des clubs et de la commune; mais dans toute la France et dans les provinces, les derniers mois de 1790 à la fin de 1793 épargnées par la guerre civile, la vente des biens nationaux fut le principal événement politique de cette période."Georges Lecarpentier, La vente des biens ecclésiastiques pendant la Révolution Française, Paris, Alcan, 1908.
