The Reign of Terror
Heads Up!
The Reign of Terror was absolutely the bloodiest, most gory period in the French Revolution. It was a bloodbath. Basically, The Reign of Terror was a series of trials and accusations most of them ending in death by guillotine. If someone, man or woman, rich or poor, was accused of treason they would be unfairly tried, then executed or thrown in prison. The Reign of Terror was headed by the radical rebel group known as The Mountain, with Maximilian Robespierre as the leader of the pack. It was oddly similar to the Salem Witch Trials. The first blood tasted by the guillotine during The Reign of Terror belonged to Marie Antoinette. She was falsely accused of treason. Her death was the one that sparked The Reign
