explain the periods of reason of terror in France from 1793 to 1794
Answers
It is called so because during that period Robespierre was ruling and he was somehow ruling in the way the dictator does . all those who were against him and were acting against his orders were Guillotine. this was the machine created by Dr Gullotine. This machine directly slaughtered people. But this finally came to an end when Robespirre was Gullotined himself the same way he used to punish people.
The period from 1793 to 1794 was referred to as the ‘Reign of Terror’ because of the following reasons:
Maximilian Robespierre followed a policy of severe control and punishment. Any person who did not agree with his policies was guillotined.
Robespierre’s government issued laws placing a maximum ceiling on wages and prices. Peasants were forced to sell their grains at prices fixed by the government.
Equality was also sought to be practised through forms of speech and address. Robespierre followed his policies so obstinately that he began to loose support of the people.
