Who was the ruler during the Reign of Terror?
Maximilien Robespierre (Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre, 1757-1794) was the de facto leader of France during the Reign of Terror, in which the Committee of Public Safety and its Revolutionary Tribunal summarily executed anyone who opposed its policies.
What was the stated aim of Robespierre and his supporters?
They wanted to overthrow the french monarchy (which they did) and institute a new government. Unfortunately the French Revolution was a violent bloodbath and the period that Robespierre ruled is commonly referred to as "the reign of terror"
What ended the reign of terror?
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
What was the National convention in the times of the French Revolution?
The National Convention was the governing body of France from the start of the revolution until the formation of the National Directory. They were originally made up of moderates, leftists, and rightists but that changed when Robespierre came into power. He led the reign of terror which removed most of the moderates and leftists from power and ended their lives. Following Robespierre's execution the Jacobins gained control of the National Convention and it became known as the Thermidorian Convention. It ruled very unwisely and is responsible for the great financial ruin that will later befall France during the reign of Napoleon. In 1794 they were replaced by the five man Directory, the Council of Ancients, and the Council of Five Hundred.
