Robespierre and The Reign of Terror
The French Revolution brought about many changes. People of different social classes gained more power and were equal. But as others began to gain power ,others began to lose power.This is when the Reign of Terror came about. France had no leader and didnt know what to do to keep order in the country. Then a man named Maximilien Robespierre came along and took control of the french government. Calenders,laws,and church rules were changed.Robespierre took control by killing and executing people. This time was called the Reign of terror because the french citizens were afraid and no one was safe. But soon people were sick and tired of living in fear so he was arrested and his head was cut off. The reign of terror was over and people could live in peace.The government was finally stable.
