all the rich people were murdered in the reign of terror
the people
The Reign of Terror took place because they had no way of controlling the people so they decided to just kill anyone who got in their way. It went on as long as it did because the people were too afraid to stand up to Robespierre (the man responsible for the start of the Reign of Terror).
no one really knows but about 16,000 to 40,000 people had been executed from the reign of terror
the jacobins were afraid that people wouldn't support them and therefore they would lose power. so they used violence and terror to force the people to vote and keep them in power.
