The Reign of Terror (1793–94) was a period of mass executions by which the Paris-based Jacobins secured power through fear against the province-based Girondists after the French Revolution (1789). The Terror famously used the guillotine to behead victims, including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The Terror grew out of fears that counter-revolutionary forces were threatening the revolution, but soon led to indiscriminant executions of nobles, clergy, and the educated in general, though the majority of victims are thought to have been peasants who denounced each other for personal rather than political reasons. The terror's leader, Maximilien Robespierre, exercised dictatorial powers as head of the Committee of Public Safety until his own beheading. Political stability eluded post-revolutionary France until Napoleon seized power in 1799.
