Robespierre and The Reigen of Terror

why did the Reign of Terror happen/and max robespierre's inolvement in it-period of violence that occurredd in months after the french revolution. Executions of "enemies of the revolution". Many were killed 20,000 to 40,000. The Enlightenment thinkers brought to life the ideas of freedom, and equality. The middle class and the poor had more power than before. The King, Queen lost power, those that gained power didnt always use it well. The revolution would turn into the Reign of Terror. Committee of Public Safety was created (Apr. 6, 1793) to preserve the reforms of the french revolutions. Robespierre became the dominant member. Their aim was to raise new armies, and to assure food supplies for the armies and cities. Robesierre's took control of the goverenment, and ruled france [like a dictator]. His rule was called the Reign of Terror. He killed Louis XVI , and the queen Marie Antoinette. "On her way across the guillotine, as she accidentally stepped on her executioners foot, she apologized; "Monsieur ... I beg your pardon. I did not do it on purpose". Those were her last words." People grew tired of Robespierre cutting peoples head off. People who worked in the government did not feel safe, they thought their head might be the next to go. So people organized a plan against Robespierre. He was arrested and his head was cut off. The Reign of Terror was over. France settled down with a government that they trusted. There was finally some stability.
how were these actions carried out-The Law of Suspects (Sept. 17, 1793) arrested alot of people for “treasonable” activities. All the moves were made by the Revolutionary Tribunal. Estimates over 200,000 were arrested.
