Explain the term ‘region of terror’?(1793-94) |
| Answer» The Reign of Terror, or The Terror (French: la Terreur), is the label given by some historians to a period during the French Revolution after the First French Republic was established.Several historians consider the "reign of terror" to have begun in 1793, placing the starting date at either 5 September,[1] June [2] or March (birth of the Revolutionary Tribunal), while some consider it to have begun in September 1792 (September Massacres), or even July 1789 (when the first beheadings by guillotine took place),[3] but there is a consensus that it ended with the fall of Robespierre in July 1794.[1][2]Between June 1793 and the end of July 1794, there were 16,594 official death sentences in France, of which 2,639 were in Paris | |
