The Reign of Terror lasted from September 1793 until Robespierre was executed in 1794. The Reign of Terror’s main purpose was to protect France from foreign enemies and eliminate counterrevolutionaries. People who disagreed with the revolution were executed in town square in front of the town’s people. During the Reign of Terror, about 40,000 people were murdered or executed. Was this method of protecting France from external and internal enemies reasonable? The Reign of Terror was not justified because the external affairs were small, the internal affairs were not serious, and the methods of the Terror were too extreme.
Eventually, he ended his rampage in a third floor lecture hall where he shot and wounded several more people before ending his own life. Suicide notes found on him revealed that his motives were based on his hatred for feminists, stating that they have “ruined his life”. It also revealed a hit list containing 15 public figures, probably found through news media sources, but stated that he was unable to act upon it. Instead, all his victims turned out to be strangers that were unfortunate enough to be caught in the killing spree (Maser, 1987).
Have you ever heard of the Reign Of Terror? The Reign Of Terror was during the French Revolution.Maximilien De Robespierre used extreme methods to punish those who didn't agree with him. The Reign Of Terror wasn't Justified. The methods Robispierre used were barbaric and unjust.

The Reign of Terror started in 1789 and was a time when supporters of the French Revolution ran wild and started killing non-supporters or counterrevolutionaries. The French held a ceremony if you will, in Paris for the execution of King Louis XVI on January 21, 1793. This was because Louis was having financial, and harvest issues. In June of 1789 King Louis called the Estates Meeting to discuss taxes and money problems. Then some men disliked what Louis was talking about so they stormed out and filed into a tennis court, and vowed not to leave until they created a new constitution. On August 26 “The Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen” was signed and put into action. Not everyone was in
The question asked by this DBQ is: Was the Reign of Terror justified. To answer this question, one must begin by defining a few terms. Harm as defined by The New Oxford Dictionary is: Physical injury, especially that which is deliberately inflicted. Justifiable as defined by the New Oxford Dictionary is: Able to be shown to be right or reasonable; defensible. Bankrupt as defined by The New Oxford Dictionary is: Declared in law unable to pay outstanding debts. After that one must proceed by analyzing the events preceding the Reign of Terror. In early July of 1789 the french revolution began. This forced Louis XVI to share his power with the people.
The French Revolution was a result of influence and inspiration gained from the American Revolution. This event occurred in 1789 and continued until the late 1790’s due to bloodshed and disagreement. During this time period the people with nothing began to have a voice and the people with power were rapidly executed leading to democracy, which meant every man was free with equal rights. The French’s method was named the Reign of Terror because of the French’s unique scare tactics. This event was not justified due to the oppression of the guillotine, the Tribunal system, and Declaration of the Rights of man.
The Reign of Terror was a period in time when about 16,000 people were executed for being seen as a threat towards the revolution. The Reign of Terror was implemented as a way to “protect the public safety,” from external and internal enemies. The Reign of Terror was first established when “Committee of Public Safety” was tasked to protect the citizens. The “Committee of Public Safety” needed a way to protect the people from external and internal conflicts, which is why they created the Reign of Terror which meant that they could guillotine anyone whom they seemed to pose a threat towards the revolution. Later on the “Committee of Public Safety” established a shadowy network of spies to achieve the ends of protecting the
figure, Marat (doctor and journalist) was murdered in his bath. The Jacobins knew that the revolution could only be saved if they had popular support; therefore they created plenty of social laws.
During the French Revolution, the revolutionaries wanted to make a new government that would give the citizens more freedom, liberty, and equality. The Reign of Terror, led by Robespierre, was a period of the French Revolution during which many people were ruthlessly executed by the new government. This period of murder and blood shed started from the execution of Louis XVI in January 1793 to late July 1794 called the Reign of Terror. During those eighteen months, more than 20,000 French people were put to death by guillotine. The behavior by the revolutionaries in the French government was not justified for these three reasons: internal and external threats were not serious, the manipulation of the Committee of Public Safety and Maximilien Robespierre wasn’t for the benefit of the all the French citizen, and the uses of the death machine, the guillotine, was inhumane.
The murders showed no sign of struggle and no sign of a break in. Andrew Borden was found dead on his couch. According to Stephen Christianson of Encyclopedia.com “When a policeman, followed
Richard Kuklinski was a convicted murderer and contract killer who was born on April 11 in 1935. Kuklinski claims to have killed over 200 people over the course of his “career” during 1949 to 1986. At first, he would simply kill people who annoyed him, got on his nerves, or who he ‘needed’ to kill. When the mob caught wind of a man who killed as frivolously as Kuklinski, they began to hire him out as a contract killer. He lived in New Jersey and New York and committed most of his crimes in that area. In 1988, he was caught and sentenced to life in prison -- he later died in prison in March of 2006

Sadly, this is when Theodore’s behavior seemed to take a turn for the worse. On January 5, 1974 Theodore Bundy viciously attacked a woman referred to as Joni Lenz, a pseudonym used to protect her true identity, in her basement apartment, beating her severely and then brutally raping her vaginally with a piece of her metal bedframe. The high from this outburst did not last long however, and on February 1, 1974 Theodore Bundy’s first confirmed kidnapping and probable homicide victim, Lynda Ann Healy, was reported missing, her body was never found. After this first confirmed victim of kidnapping and suspected murder, a flood of women disappeared, all eventually attributed to Ted, who took his victims approximately once a month.
