After the Committee of Public Safety began to fall apart in France, the Reign of Terror subsided, leading to a period known as the Thermidorian Reaction. This saw the fall of key leaders like Maximilien Robespierre, who was executed in July 1794. The power shifted towards more moderate factions, resulting in the establishment of the Directory in 1795, which aimed to stabilize France but struggled with corruption and inefficiency. Ultimately, this political instability set the stage for the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the end of the revolutionary government.
