Severed heads, countless corpses and terror in the streets, does the French Revolution sound justified to you? The French Revolution lasted 18 months, starting in January 1793 to late July 1794. During that time 20,000 people were killed by using the guillotine, including king Louis XVI. Does the French Revolution still sound justified to you? The Reign of Terror was not justified. This claim can be supported by looking at the external threats, internal threats, and methods used.
The external threat was not serious enough to justify the Reign of Terror. They denied legal representation to people, they would just kill them on the spot. Some of the soldiers didn’t even agree with some of the things their own government was doing
