Reign of Terror


Robespierre was the cause of reign of terror. He controled the goverment and tried to wipe out the old monarchy. He changed many things such as the calender, playing cards, and months. Many people were excecuted from the goverment. Things were going harable, no one could be friends with robespierre. Due to the fact that one day you could b alive an the next minute you can be going to the guillotine. The guillotine is were Jacobins cut your head off, with a execution machines.
Robespierre even killed the widow queen, Marie Antoinette. her last words were "Monsieur...I beg your pardon. I did not do it on purpose" and then she died.

After this people didnt feel safe. People were getting tried of heads coming off. Everyone, especially the goverment, felt threatened. People put there heads together and got him arrested. They cut off his head and the Regin Of Terror was Over. Calmness filled the streets as things were coming together. France had a Legislative branch and executive body of 5 men called the Directly.
They found a person that was great for leading the french army. His name is Napolean Bonaparte.
