Robespierre and The Reign of Terror

The reign of terror was a terrible time that Max Robespierre created after he became the leader of the Committee of Public Safety. He decided to see who was the enemy to the republic and afterwards, he acted like a dictaor. He started the whole thing by getting power, little by little, while other leaders struggled for it during the battle with the First Coalition, An alliance that Prussia and Austria made with Great Britain, Holland and Spain.

The Reign of Terror was something that people were afraid to be in. If anyone who challenged Max Robespierre's leadership, they would get their heads chopped of, same thing if someone does a crime that Max thinks it is. The execution would be sentenced to the gallows to get their heads chopped of. One example is that a 18-year old boy was sentenced to the gallows for chopping a tree down that it represents liberty. Alot of people in France died in the gallows and the people were in dangered one by one. The people didn't want to die. The Reign of terror happened because Max became a dictator and used the gallows ALOT.

On July 28, 1784
Max lost his head because the convention would know that they would not be safe when he is around so they turned on him. Everyone would say "down with the tyrant". people would be chasing him until they catched him and put him on the gallows. After Max lost his head, The Reeign of Terror had finally ended.
