The Jacobins. The Reign was mostly controlled by Maximilien Robespierre and, in the begining, Georges Danton, but he was killed by Robespierre after he spoke out against him.
Main reasons: * CGS and CPS against Robespierre * Robespierre lost support of Sans-Culottes by executing main leaders, disbanding armless revolutionaries. * Prior supporters turned against Terror - Danton * Growing extremism, even though war improved
He was in favor of the revolution and republic
There were an awfull lot of people involved in the French Revolution, but to name 4 of the most important figures: - King Louis XVI - Queen Marie Antoinette - Maximilian Robespierre - Napoleon Bonaparte
I have always thought that it did, and a lot of historians believe that had the revolution happened nowadays there would be a lot of charges for genocide and crimes against humanity. As for the contradiction, they side stepped it with the Law of Suspects.

Robespierre wanted more terror so he could influence the people of France into agreeing with him. He wanted a republic.
Absolutely Not. He was the one who started most of it!

Robespierre was a leader of "les montagnards", a hard-line group in the French assembly. "les montagnards" (the mountaineers) were named such because they occupied the upper seats in the assembly room.
It is because Robespierre executed many people who were suspected of being against the revolution.

Robespierre brought the Reign of Terror to France opposing anybody who was against the French Revolution. He killed between 16,000-40,000 people but eventually people were afraid of getting their heads cut off so he was arrested and executed by the guillotine.
His fellow politicians.
Robespierre's methods turned against him due to his increasing radicalism and use of extreme violence during the Reign of Terror. This led to opposition within the National Convention and among his former allies, who feared his unchecked power. Robespierre's downfall came during the Thermidorian Reaction, when he was arrested and executed along with his key supporters on July 28, 1794.
