After the Terror, there was the Thermidorian reaction, when people basically realized that the Reign of Terror had gone way too far. This reaction was caused by a lessening of military pressure on France, due to several significant French victories. In the Thermidorian Reaction, The Committee of Public Safety, the group who had ruled during the Terror, was destroyed. Its leader, Robespierre, was guillotined. From then on, moderates took leadership of the government.
Because no matter how loyal you were, if your name came up on a list of enemies of the state, you could have a date with the guillotine.
Almost certainly not. Robespierre did not join the Committee of Public Safety until the main lines of the Terror had been laid down. He came to be associated with it because he was the best-known and most popular member of the Committee, but the instpiration behind the Terror was essentially military and inspired not by Robespierre but by Carnot. The other members were happy to let Robespierre take the responsibility for the Terror, but his fall was caused at least partly by the more extreme members wanting to get rid of Robespierre because he was in fact opposed to the extreme aspects of the policy.
Robespierrie started the Reign of Terror, and it came to an end when he was arrested and guillotined by his enemies.

Money reigns supreme. King Wilhelm reigned with an iron fist to keep peace in the land. The Protestant Reformation was brutally suppressed during the reign of Henry VIII.
No, women were also executed by the guillotine. Sexual and social status were treated equally when it came to executions during the French Revolution.
Moderates freed many of Jacobins' prisoners, neutralized the power of the Committee for Public Safety, and had many of Robespierre's friends killed.
Maximilien de Robespierre was an early proponent of political democracy. His advanced ideas concerning the application of the revolutionary principle of equality won for him the fervent support of the lower middle and working classes (the sans-culottes) and a firm place later in the 19th century in the pantheon of European radical and revolutionary heroes. These ideas and the repressive methods used to implement and defend them, which came to be called the Reign of Terror, and his role as spokesman for this radical and violent phase of the French Revolution also won for him the opprobrium of conservative opponents of the Revolution ever since.
