Question

explain your answers

Answer 1

From a historical point of wiew, it was - the whole period turned out as a success, France did become a Republic and all of the goals of the revolution have, eventually, been fullfilled. I can remind you to some famous sayings that can very much be transfered to that situation: 'The goal justifies the means'; ' Every revolution eats it's children'; 'Who lives from the sword will die from one'. It was a terrible period, but it served it's purpose.
From a moral and ethical point of wiew, you know that terror can never be justified, and that any violent act is wrong. So was the reign of terror. From just a human stand, it is a big stain on the history of the revolution and France, and even mankind. But, on the other hand, at least Robespieere also lived to experience a similar thing - eventually he also got to see the guilotine's blade from a very, very 'sharp' angle!
