The Reign of Terror was a period of violence that came soon after the French Revolution. The Guillotine was the instrument at hand during this time. A guillotine is a device used for carrying out executions by taking off the head of the victim. The Reign of Terror came to be because people couldn't function without a leader or someone to guide them, thus people began to panic. Max Robespierre was one of the leaders of the Enlightenment and the Reign of Terror. Robespierre became mad with the guillotine and killed anyone he thought was out to get him. Other members of the government became great with fear and created a conspiracy to get rid of Robespierre. He was later executed himself.
