Best Answer

The Reign of terror, also known as "The Terror", is an event of violence that happened during the French Revolution. Many have died during this period using the Guillotine. The name Reign of terror is used rather than using the name of the person ruling at that time and it signifies that terror or revenge was the one in control at that said period.

The Reign of Terror was so named because rather than a real person ruling, it was like terror and vengeance was making decisions and influencing the people.
