Reign of Terror
Reign of Terror (June 1793–July 1794) Phase of the
French Revolution. It began with the overthrow of the
Girondins and the ascendancy of the
Jacobins under
Robespierre. Against a background of foreign invasion and civil war, opponents were ruthlessly persecuted and
c.1400 executed by the
guillotine. On July 27, 1794, the Terror ended with a coup in the National Convention, when Robespierre and leading Jacobins were arrested and executed.
