Revolution Tribunal

The Revolution Tribunal was a special court established during the French Revolution in 1793 to try individuals accused of counter-revolutionary activities. It aimed to quickly and effectively punish those seen as enemies of the revolution, often resulting in executions or imprisonment. The tribunal operated with limited fairness and transparency, reflecting the intense political climate and revolutionary zeal of the period. Its judgments contributed to the Reign of Terror, a time marked by widespread persecution and violence against perceived enemies of the revolution.
