It occurred fifteen months after the French Revolution. Ranging from 16,000 to 40,000 deaths. It was the Rein of terror that appeared to chop many heads off. It was a blade that hung on the top of a rectangular Guillotine. At the bottom had the hole, and where they put the heads so the blade could come down and chop the head off. Many famous people died from the Guillotine, like Marie-Antoinette, the Girondins Philippe Egalite, and Madam Roland.The Guillotine became a symbol of executions. Its because the Girondines and the Jacobins hated each other and had "Enemies of the Revolution".There were twelve members in the public safety community. Robespierre became the dominant member.
Their aim was to eliminate all internal counterrevolutionary elements, to raise new armies, and to assure food supplies for the armies and cities. Some of their measures were demanded by the people of Paris, whose support was essential. Also the police and committee of General security took that responsibility of the Guillotine.
