Answer:

  • The Reign of Terror or simply The Terror was a period of about 11 months during the French Revolution. During this time, French people who did not support the revolution were executed at the guillotine.

  • The Reign of Terror was started on 5 September, 1793. The violence happened more and more often in June and July of 1794, a period called la Grande Terreur (The Great Terror). On 17 July 1794, sixteen nuns attracted much attention by singing a religious song as they were being executed for treason. The Terror ended ten days later, when several important leaders of the Reign of Terror were executed, including Saint-Just and Robespierre. The Terror took the lives of between 18,500 to 40,000 people.

  • Robespierre died due to the Thermidorian Reaction against the Jacobins. This was a revolt against the revolution otherwise called a counter-revolution. Robespierre was one of the last to be guillotined.

  • Eventually, Napoleon Bonaparte rose to be the emperor of France.
