Robespierre and The Reign of Terror

The Reign of terror was a violent event that took place fifteen months after the French Revolution. 16,000 to 40,000 people were killed during the reign of terror. Many famous and highly know people were executed under the blade. They were killed, (they were beheaded) in front of the people, to show that people who don't support them, and that they will have to face the same death. French nobles and clergy were not approving this new terror work, as they now had to work and did not receive any goods or benefits from the peasants.

Maximilien Robespierre tried to erase everything that was related to the old monarchy. Churches were closed as it was one of the major resident which was like a load over the peasant shoulder. He was like a dictator, he took charge of everything.. He was the person who organized The Reign of Terror. Government officials were scared and tried of his idea of cutting off others head. They didn't feel safe. They organized a conspiracy towards him and he was executed the same way, he was also beheaded. Then the Reign of Terror was over.

The Reign of Terror was caused because the democracy was not granted to the people (Most of these people were of the 3rd class).They had to fight for it, and the Reign of Terror was one of the way to gain it. It took lots of death body and blood to gain the freedom they desired. This execution was carried out as they kept on beheading many people. All the people were scared and were not strong enough to go against him. But, at last they all stood together and executed him.
