Question

Who led the reign of terror ? (In context of French Revolution)

Answer 1

The principal architect of the Reign of Terror was Maximilien Robespierre. As a leading member of the Committee of Public Safety from 1793, he had over 17,000 perceived “Enemies of The Revolution” executed by the guillotine. Most were political enemies who had disagreed with Maximilien’s excessive policies.

 Maximilien Robespierre was arrested by the National Convention, the governing body of France. Robespierre tried to commit suicide but he botched and seriously injured himself. He was executed without a trial in the same manner as many of his victims – by the guillotine
