The Reign of Terror: Radical Phase of the French Revolution (1793–1794)

The Reign of Terror (1793–1794) was a radical phase of the French Revolution marked by the execution of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, wars with European powers, and the rise of the Jacobins under Robespierre. To protect the Revolution from internal and external enemies, the Committee of Public Safety adopted harsh measures. Revolutionary tribunals sentenced around 17,000 people to death and imprisoned thousands more. Though defended as necessary for safeguarding the Republic, the Reign of Terror created widespread fear and ultimately ended with the fall of Robespierre in July 1794.
