The Terror |

| The Convention, with the Jacobins and Girodines voted to
execute Louis XVI, and the people who did not were branded traitors. Following
that, France came inwardly paranoid, and sent 40,000 people to the guillotine
for being traitors over the next few years. Robespierre was the man behind
the terror, and was eventually killed during the revolution that ended The
Terror. His death was amusing, by shooting off his jaw in attempted suicide,
fell out of a 2nd story window, and was still alive enough to be killed
at the guillotine. |
