the Girondists were the conservative party of the French government during the French Revolution, they opposed the killing of King Louis XVI, but were beaten by the Jacobins lead by Robespierre, soon after they were all arrested and executed in what was known as the "Reign of Terror"A group of deputies in the Assembly and Legislative Convention, many of them from the Gironde area around Bordeaux, established during the French Revolution. Centred around the figure of J.-P. Brissot, the 'faction of the Gironde' represented the resistance of the provinces to Parisian dominance, and opposition to the emerging dictatorship and terror under Robespierre. In June 1793 the Girondins were themselves expelled from the Convention and later killed.
The Girondists and the Mountain were rival political factions during the French Revolution. The Girondists were moderate republicans who favored a decentralized government and represented the interests of the provinces, while the Mountain were radical Jacobins who advocated for a centralized government and more extreme measures to protect the revolution. The Girondists were eventually overthrown by the Mountain, leading to the Reign of Terror.

The Girondists came into conflict with Montagnards, who were an extreme wing of the Jacobin Club during the French Revolution. This ultimately led to their arrest and execution.
After the King's execution, the influence of Robespierre, Danton, & the pragmatic politicians increased at the expense of the Girondists. Girondists refused to have anything more to do with Danton & because of this the government became more divided.
