The Reign of Terror began in September 1793, when the National Convention, the governing body of the French Revolution, established the Committee of Public Safety. The Committee, led by Maximilien Robespierre, was tasked with rooting out and punishing enemies of the revolution. Over the next year, the Committee presided over a reign of terror that saw thousands of people guillotined, including King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
