what was it about the French Revolution that allowed the Reign of Terror to occur? Why do you think it went on for so long?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Anti-revolutionary uprisings, the presence of enemy aries on French soil, and economic problems led to a sense of national emergency. As a result, the Assembly then appointed the Committee of Public Safety led by Maximilien Robespierre. Thus the Reign of Terror began. The aim of the movement was to impose revolutionary principles by force, leading to the execution of more that 40,000 people. Also, the principle of conscription was introduced, and it proved successful against many enemies, and even helped them gain some land in the Austrian Netherlands. The Reign of Terror Ended when Robespierre was ousted and executed by the guillotine. I think the Reign of Terror went on for so long because it held promise in the eyes of the peasants and revolutionaries. Many hated royals were executed, as well as those who did not support the revolution. This just fueled the fire that drove the Committee, and they continued their ways until the leader was overthrown. It also lasted for so long because they were continuously growing in number, so anyone who stood against them would be outnumbered and executed as a result.
