Q

what cause the terror in france?

A

“The Terror” in France was a period of violence and political repression that occurred during the French Revolution, specifically between 1793 and 1794. It was caused by a combination of factors, including internal conflicts within the revolutionary government, external threats from foreign powers, and economic instability.

At the time, France was engaged in a series of wars with neighboring countries, and there were concerns about the loyalty of some French citizens, particularly those who were seen as being sympathetic to the old aristocracy or foreign powers. In response, the revolutionary government implemented a range of policies aimed at rooting out perceived enemies of the Revolution, including counter-revolutionaries, aristocrats, and other political dissidents.

These policies included the use of summary executions, mass imprisonments, and other forms of political repression. Tens of thousands of people were executed during this period, including King Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette. The Reign of Terror came to an end with the fall of Robespierre and the Jacobins in July 1794.

Overall, the causes of the Terror were complex and multifaceted, with a range of political, social, and economic factors contributing to the violence and repression of the period.
