Beheading was the official form of capital punishment in France, and most people find it surprising that the last beheading in France was in 1977. It was done using the guillotine, a French invention around the time of the French Revolution. Capital punishment was abolished there in 1981. Beheadings have taken place in other countries since then, and usually an axe or sword is used.
