Explanation

Robespierre was a leading figure in the Reign of Terror, during which many people were executed as enemies of the Revolution. As his power grew, opponents saw him as a tyrant and moved against him; he was arrested and executed by guillotine in 1794. He was not executed for wanting to preserve the nobility or for rejecting democratic reform.
