1794

The year 1794 was a significant period during the French Revolution, marked by intense political upheaval. It saw the peak of the Reign of Terror, led by Robespierre, where thousands accused of opposing the revolution were executed, including Queen Marie Antoinette. The revolution aimed to establish democracy and eliminate monarchy, leading to radical changes in French society. Internationally, it influenced revolutionary movements elsewhere. The tumultuous events of 1794 ultimately contributed to the fall of Robespierre and the end of the Terror, paving the way for more moderate policies and shaping modern France's political landscape.
