The Committee of Public Safety was started by Robespierre and revolutionary leaders in an effort to overthrow the government and retain national security. The Committee gained 14 armies and got many provisions. What is ironic is that the Committee of Public Safety, under Robespierre's now Dictatorship, started the "Reign of Terror" where all anti-revolutionaries were killed by the guillotine. So the Committee of Public Safety, in turn, killed over 20,000 people.
