-The "Reign Of Terror" was a time of violnce that occured 15 months after the onset of the French Revolution. Numbers chaqnge between how many people have been killed, with numbers ranging from 16,000 to 40,000 people. The Guillotine became the symbol of a string of executions. During the summer of 1794 the revolutionary government of France got threatened by internal enemies, conspirators and foreign monarchies.
- Maximilien Robespierre dominated the "Committee Of Public Saftey" in order to put an end to internal counter revolutionary activities and raise additional French military forces. The reign of terror achieved nothing and the hatred of Robespierre`s attempts to sanctify the revolution with blood and inspire his supporters the common people started to turn on him as the mortuaries were growing ever more full and Robespierre had his allies executed.
After the French Revolution, Maximiellin Robespierre took control, and he started killing millions of people who were thought to be unloyal to Republic. Eventually France turned on him, and he tried to commit suicide, but he only shot himself in the jaw.
