The Reign of Terror was a period during the French Revolution from September 1793 to July 1794, characterized by extreme political repression and mass executions of perceived enemies of the revolution, primarily through the guillotine. It was led by the Committee of Public Safety, with Maximilien Robespierre as a prominent figure. The Terror ended with the fall of Robespierre in July 1794, when he and several of his associates were arrested and executed, leading to a relaxation of the oppressive measures and a shift towards more moderate governance.
