Describe The Reign Of Terror
2016-11-08 03:48:21 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
The Reign of Terror (5 September 1793 – 28 July 1794) or simply The Terror (French: la Terreur) was a period of about 10 months during the French Revolution when struggles between rival factions led to mutual radicalization which took on a violent character with mass executions by the guillotine. It is generally associated with the figures of Maximilien Robespierre and Georges Danton and is popularly represented as an archetype of revolutionary violence.
The Terror itself started on 5 September 1793. The repression accelerated in June and July 1794, a period named la Grande Terreur (The Great Terror) and lasted until the executions following the coup of 9 Thermidor Year II (27 July 1794), in which several key leaders of the Reign of Terror were themselves executed, including Saint-Just and Robespierre. The Terror took the lives of between 18,500 to 40,000 people (estimates vary widely, due to the difference between historical records and statistical estimates). In the single month before it ended, 1,900 executions took place.

The Reign of Terror usually refers to the French Revolution, when the ordinary people rose up against the ruling classes, took control and sent many aristocrats, and eventually the King and Queen to the guillotine. It took place mainly in Paris. The people referred to each other as "Citizen" no matter what their station in life. Robespierre was a famous leader of the revolution. Hope this helps.
