Answer:

The French Revolution was when rebels of the government were executed in droves. In this dictatorial government, people were murdered with unfair trials.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Reign of Terror was the period of chaos, violence and mass murder in France between 1793 and 1794. The revolution was a violent attempt to overthrow the French monarchy. It began with the execution of Louis XVI on 21 January 1793, and ended with his wife Marie Antoinette's execution on 16 October 1794.

During this time there were many executions; however some people who were sentenced to death by guillotine survived their sentence due to being rescued from the guillotine before it could be completed.

The Reign of Terror is also known as "The Blood Year" because over 20,000 people died during it (the most recorded number of deaths in one year). This event became known as "la Terreur Rouge".
