During the Reign of Terror in France from September 1793 to July 1794, it is estimated that around 16,000 to 40,000 people were executed, primarily by guillotine. The exact number varies among historians due to the chaotic nature of the period and the lack of precise records. This period was marked by intense political purges and social upheaval, driven by revolutionary zeal and fear of counter-revolution.
