Whether it's a Hail Mary at the end of a football game or guessing at the last few answers of a test when time is called, sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. After the first few years of the French Revolution, France certainly found itself in desperate times. While a constitution had been written and some progressive, Enlightenment-inspired reforms were being implemented, the government was again overthrown in 1792, the king was still imprisoned, and costly wars with Austria and Prussia were going poorly. The desperate measures the French undertook at this juncture resulted in the execution of the king and thousands of others in what has become known as the Reign of Terror.

1. Loss of lives:

The reign of terror led to massive loss of lives in France. It’s estimated that about 17,000 people were guillotined and this included high level persons like King Louis and his wife Antoinette, Robespierre, Danton, and other persons of high profile were put to death.

2. Destruction of property:

Beside, there was destruction of property and infrastructure in France. This includes Hotel Deville and the Bastille prison which were destroyed by the mob. Several castles and mansions including property were attacked and destroyed by the revolutionaries.

3. Economic decline:

There was general economic decline that arose from un stable political atmosphere. Inflation, unemployment famine and starvation reached their highest levels during the reign terror. Many industries were also destroyed which affected the French economy.


4. Wars with other nations:

The reign of terror brought war between France and other neighbouring nations.countris like Britain and Russia formed a coalition in 1793 and invaded France. This was because they were scared by massive loss of lives including the king and his wife Marie Antoinette. The revolutionaries also wanted to export the ideas of the French revolution to neighbouring nations which was opposed by other states leading to wars.


5. Rise of directory Government:

The social, economic destructions caused by reign of terror paved way for the rise of Directory Government in France in 1795. It was instituted in 1795 as a full stop to the destructive reign of terror in France and to end dictatorship in France.


6. End of political parties:

The reign of terror led to the downfall of political clubs and political pluralism in France. Before the reign terror, there were some political parties that were formed such as The Jacobin under Robespierre, Cordllier under Danton and Girondin led by Murato. But the terror machinery killed all the leaders of these political Parties in France.
