The Reign of Terror began shortly after the French revolution. Soon after the kings queens and the nobles lost power things began to be more democratic but the people who gained power didn't use it very well. Then this street gang called the Jacobin's started to run France and used the guillotine to kill all the people who they suspected were against them and they ended up killing King Louis the XVI. Then some one else rose to power a man name Maximilien Robespierre. He acted as a dictator and started to cut every ones heads off with the guillotine and wiped out all traces of the old monarchy's and thought the churches were old fashion so they remained closed and he also altered the calender by removing Sundays.
