RADICALS AND THE REIGN OF
         TERROR
Radicals
• Don’t think there should be any king at
  all and France should become a republic
  where all people have a say in the
  government.
• Want to see major changes happen to
  France.
• Usually bourgeoisie and/or members of
  the Third Estate.
Moderates
• Would like to see some changes to France.
• Think Louis XVI can still be king, but it needs to
  be a limited monarchy, where the king follows
  the rules of the constitution and gives people
  rights and freedoms.
• Are a members of the bourgeoisie meaning
  you are an educated member of the third
  estate.
Conservatives
• Think Louis XVI should be allowed to
  remain king and rule France as an
  absolute monarch.
• Don’t want the government to
  change.
• Are members of the first or second
  estate.
1791
  • The king and his family
    are caught trying to
    leave France and taken
    prisoner.
  • Radical groups win
    power in the Legislative
    Assembly and decide
    the best way to gain
    more power is through
    violence.
1792
• The Legislative
  Assembly is now
  controlled by radicals
  and rename themselves
  the National
  Convention. They
  declare France to be a
  republic and abolish the
  monarchy.
1793
  • The National
    Convention puts
    Louis XVI and his
    family on trial and
    find them guilty to
    treason.
  • Louis and Marie
    Antoinette are
    executed by
    guillotine.
1793
• The National Convention is
  worried about threats to
  their power. They create
  the Committee of Public
  Safety to deal with the
  threats to them and handle
  some of the public’s
  problems (such as food
  shortages).
• An extreme radical named
  Maximilien Robespierre
  becomes the leader of the
  committee.
1793 - 1794
     • This time period when
       Robespierre ruled over
       the Committee of Public
       Safety is known as the
       Reign of Terror.
     • During this time anyone
       who was suspected of
       being loyal to the king
       or trying to stop the
       revolution from
       happening was put on
       trial and killed.
What were people executed for?
• Robespierre said in order to
  keep France safe for
  democracy he had to get rid
  of anyone who was loyal to
  the king in any way.
• People were executed for
  simple offenses such as
  owning a deck of cards with
  a king in it.
• You were put on trial in the
  morning and executed in
  the afternoon.
1794
  • Even the radicals
    think Robespierre
    has gone too far.
    Robespierre is put
    on trial and
    executed.
  • Moderates now take
    over the
    government.
Results
