Detailed explanation-1: -The Reign of Terror (French: la Terreur) was a period of the French Revolution when, following the creation of the First Republic, a series of massacres and numerous public executions took place in response to revolutionary fervour, anticlerical sentiment, and accusations of treason by the Committee of Public Safety .
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the most prominent opponents of the Reign of Terror was Georges Danton, an influential member of the Jacobins and Robespierre’s political rival. By the fall of 1793, Danton argued that the instability threatening the revolution, which had justified the Terror, had ended.
Detailed explanation-3: -Maximilien Robespierre, the architect of the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, is overthrown and arrested by the National Convention.
