 The French Revolution completely changed the course of Monge's career.He was a strong supporter of the Revolution, and in 1792, on the creation by the Legislative Assembly of an executive council, Monge accepted the office of Minister of the Marine, and held this office from 10 August 1792 to 10 April 1793, when he resigned.When the Committee of Public Safety made an appeal to the academics to assist in the defence of the republic, he applied himself wholly to these operations, and distinguished himself by his energy, writing the "Description Le l'art de Fabriquer Les canons" and "Avis aux ouvriers en fer sur la fabrication de l'acier".
