After the first few years of the French Revolution, France certainly found itself in frantic times. Whereas a constitution had been composed and some dynamic, Enlightenment inspired changes were being actualized, the government was once more ousted in 1792, the ruler was still detained, and expensive wars with Austria and Prussia were going poorly. The frantic measures the French attempted at this point resulted within the execution of the ruler and thousands of others in what has gotten to be known as the Reign of Terror
Glad to help ya!! Please correct any mistakes in my paragraph!! :)
The Reign of Terror was a period of violence during the French Revolution. It lasted from September, 1793 to July 1794 and is named for the many executions of those denounced as "enemies of the state", mainly in Paris but also in other areas of France. Most were guillotined (beheaded), as were King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, earlier in 1793....
