The Reign of Terror

The reign of terror was a very difficult time for the people in France.It was time were death was upon anyone and everyone.Lots of people were beeing sent to the Gullitones almost daily.The person responsible for all these deaths was Maximilien Robspierre.He is the man who killled King Louis the 16th.For when he was able to kill the king he became dictator of France.The reign of terror happend becuase there was many disputes on what type of gov. should France have.They no longer wanted to be ruled by only a king.And the king didnt like the fact that he no longer had complete control over his countries fait.He now had to answer to people.The killings were fairly simple.A quick one two cop, and off with your head.Although im pretty sure the last thing that ran threw someones mind who was beeing sent to the execution stand infront of the town was embarresment.It was a very quick process.Probably not even enough time for a final thought as the blade comes plunging to complete it task of taking ones life.
