Question: When was the start of the organization that, during the reign of terror, ruled the country that allied with Britain in 1904?

habeas corpus derives from the english common law where the first recorded usage was in 1305, in the reign of king edward i of england. the procedure for the issuing of writs of habeas corpus was first codified by the habeas corpus act 1679, following judicial rulings which had restricted the effectiveness of the writ. a previous act had been passed in 1640 to overturn a ruling that the command of the queen was a sufficient answer to a petition of habeas corpus. winston churchill, in his chapter on the english common law in the birth of britain, explains the process thus: <SEP> the 1904 cambridge springs international chess congress was the first major international chess tournament in america in the twentieth century. it featured the participation of world champion emanuel lasker, who had not played a tournament since 1900 and would not play again until 1909. after the tournament lasker moved to america and started publishing "lasker's chess magazine", which ran from 1904 to 1907. however, that was not the only chess magazine spawned by the tournament. the daily bulletins produced by hermann helms proved so popular that helms started the "american chess bulletin" as a direct consequence of the tournament. volume 1, issue 1 of the magazine was devoted to cambridge springs. helms was somewhat more successful than lasker as a publisher and american chess bulletin would be edited and published by helms from 1904 until his death in 1963. the surprising upset victory of frank marshall marked his rise to prominence in american chess and he would eventually reign as champion of the united states for twenty six years. <SEP> On 6 April the Committee of Public Safety was created, which gradually became the de facto war - time government. <SEP> By the turn of the 20th century, fears had begun to grow in Britain that it would no longer be able to defend the metropole and the entirety of the empire while at the same time maintaining the policy of "splendid isolation". Recognising that it was overstretched in the Pacific and threatened at home by the Imperial German Navy, Britain formed an alliance with Japan in 1902 and with its old enemies France and Russia in 1904 and 1907, respectively. Germany was rapidly rising as a military and industrial power and was now seen as the most likely opponent in any future war. <SEP> The Committee of Public Safety succeeded the previous Committee of General Defence (established in January 1793) and assumed its role of protecting the newly established republic against foreign attacks and internal rebellion. As a wartime measure, the Committee -- composed at first of nine, and later of twelve, members -- was given broad supervisory powers over military, judicial, and legislative efforts. It was formed as an administrative body to supervise and expedite the work of the executive bodies of the Convention and of the government ministers appointed by the Convention. As the Committee tried to meet the dangers of a coalition of European nations and counter-revolutionary forces within the country, it became more and more powerful. The Committee of Public Safety (French: Comité de salut public) -- created in April 1793 by the National Convention and then restructured in July 1793 -- formed the de facto executive government in France during the Reign of Terror (1793 -- 94), a stage of the French Revolution.
