- The Reign of Terror occurred from September of 1793 until July of 1794, and was a time period of extreme violence and paranoia during the French Revolution. Following the execution of Louis XVI, the more radical revolutionaries, the Jacobins, were concerned that foreign and domestic groups would threaten the continuing of the revolution. As such, the Jacobins worked to remove the more moderate Girondins from positions of power within the revolution.
The Reign of Terror was one of the most significant events of the French Revolution. It was originally carried out to stop supposed threats to revolution, but ended up displaying the excesses of the revolution and the heights of violence. In total, over 40,000 citizens of France were executed during the Reign of Terror with many beheaded by the guillotine.
In this video, we investigate what happened during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, including: causes, significance and impacts.

It feels like the year 1780 was a long and short time ago.

Watching this 'ancient history documentary' about France feels like I'm cramming for a history test… but with baguettes and berets! 🥖🎩
