Answer:
Explanation:
One of the most fascinating figures to emerge from the French Revolution was Maximilian Robespierre. In the 1790s he rose to wield great power in the revolutionary government. As an extreme radical leftist, he was instrumental in instituting 'Reign of Terror'. This was a period when anyone who opposed Robespierre's idealism, was judicially murdered, generally by the use of Guillotine.
Robespierre was the leader of the Committee of Public Safety, the Executive Committee of the National Convention and the most powerful person in France. Robespierre used his position in the Committee to further impose his idealism on the French nation. He did this by instituting the Reign of Terror. After the death of King Louis XVI in 1793, The Reign of Terror began. The first victim was Mary Antoinette. The guillotine was the new instrument of egalitarian justice and it was put to work. Public executions were considered educational. The Revolutionary Tribunal ordered the execution of 2400 people in Paris by July 1794. Across France, around 30000 people lost their lives. The terror was designed to fight the enemies of the revolution, to prevent counter-revolution from gaining ground. Most of the people rounded up were not aristocrats, but ordinary people. Even the radical Jacobins, the supporters of Robespierre, felt that the Terror must be stopped. In July 1794, Robespierre was arrested and sent to the guillotine next day. He was the last victim of the Reign of Terror.
