Robespierre's methods ultimately backfired on him because his extreme actions during the Reign of Terror, such as executing thousands of people without fair trials, led to widespread fear and opposition among the French people. This backlash eventually resulted in his own downfall, as he was arrested and executed by his political rivals in 1794.
