Maximilien Robespierre was the most dominant leader during the French Revolution. He arose into the revolution and took control of the government to wipe out any trace of the old monarchy. Robespierre made many changes on France, for example he removed Sundays from the calender because he believed religion was old fashioned. He then ruled France for a time period, and his rule was called The Reign of Terror.
The Reign of Terror was a ten month crisis that occurred during the French Revolution, from September 15, 1793 to July 28, 1794. The terror was caused by struggles between rival factions led to mutual radicalization. The terror took many people's lives amounting between 18,500 to 40,000 deaths. France was then instituted to rule the country in a national emergency because of all the waves of executions being held. This all came about because of the inequality of rights between the lower and higher classes and other aspects such as freedom.
The terror was taking in action by chopping people's heads off using the guillotine
