Question

Policies of maximillien robespierre

Answer 1

Answer:

Robespierre used his position on the committee to further his rigorous idealism and impose it remorselessly on the French Nation. He did this by instituting the Reign of Terror. Through his committee, his control of the Jacobin Club, and relations with the sans coulottes he executed or had murdered anyone who remotely opposed his policies. In the course of several purges, he destroyed even close compatriots such as Danton. It is estimated that more than 25,000 people were killed because of their political views. Many of them were put to death with no legal defense. Though many were scientifically executed using the guillotine, others were destroyed by firing squads, cannon fire, and even drowning en masse.
