The Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution was led primarily by Maximilien Robespierre. He played a crucial role in overseeing the revolutionary government and implementing measures to protect the republic from internal and external threats. Under his leadership, the Committee directed the Reign of Terror, which aimed to eliminate perceived enemies of the revolution and maintain order. Robespierre's influence ultimately waned, leading to his arrest and execution in 1794, ending the Committee's most intense period of control.
