What happen in 1793 and 1794 that was particularly horrible and what do you know that period by today?

In 1793 and 1794, the Reign of Terror occurred during the French Revolution, marked by extreme political violence and mass executions. Led by the Committee of Public Safety, thousands, including King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, were guillotined as revolutionary leaders sought to eliminate perceived enemies of the state. This period is often associated with the radicalization of the revolution and the widespread fear that permeated society, ultimately leading to the fall of prominent figures like Maximilien Robespierre. Today, it serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked political power and mob mentality.
