The reign of terror takes shortly after the revolution between the The monarchy of France with the ordinary people of France. naturally the people won due to greater numbers. soon after they created a system where there is limited monarchy, where the people share the same power. but out of this grew new radical ideas. for example, since religion was believed to be old fashioned it was said that all the churches in Paris were closed and put away. however the biggest radical idea was the guillotine. This machine was a device that would slice a person's head off using blade falling at rapid speeds. many people would be killed this way based on accusations and thoughts that were against the new regime.
Out of this a new radical leader came to power, who was Maximillion Robespierre. This man was a person who was very dedicated to the new regime, in fact so dedicated he killed the widow and people that were related or the people that she knew. people began to worry that everyone was now a victim of his dictatorship. Even though he was a dictator, people also believed he was a scared man. during this time Austria had become a big problem to France, the legislative party urge to wage war against them. however, he did not. This was another one of the factors that led to his death and execution with the guillotine(irony). Out of his death came a new appointed leader, Napoleon Bonaparte.
