Robespierre and The Reign of Terror


After the French revolution change into democracy didn't happen right away.It did happen but first came the The Reign of Terror.

In this time the radical group Jacobin took control of France and started cutting of the heads of everybody who was connected to the old regime. Even if you were accused you could have your head cut off.
Then there was a huge power struggle and Maximilien Robespierre took control. He tried to wipe out the revolutionists.Then the people got pissed of at Maximilien Robespierre and arrested him and cut his head off. Then France settled down with democracy.
