There is No Justification for the Terror in the U.S.S.R. in the 1930's

The War on Terror can readily be compared to WWI.  The following analysis will compare and contrast these two important historical occurrences.  It will also examine just a few of the many consequences of both.

The French Revolution began in 1789 as an attempt, by the revolutionaries, to form a new government that would give the people more liberty, equality and value people’s rights. Between 1793 and 1794 the government used extreme ways to achieve their goals. This period of time, led by Robespierre, was called the reign of Terror because between 20,000-40,000 french people were killed by the government forces. The Reign of Terror was not justified for three reasons:The external and internal threat did not deserve it, they denied natural rights against people who opposed them and the methods of the Terror were too extreme.

The extent of killing has not gone too far in order to achieve purposes in the government during the Reign of Terror. Whereas, absolute monarchies have ruled for years with little considerations for the people that they reign over since a change was necessary to switch the point of views of the higher estates, which were the noblemen, clergy, and royal men. The radical attempts began with Robespierre with calls for blood throughout the state to rid the enemies. Since the people were being ignored the Reign of Terror included accepted methods of terror by the Pro Revolutionary thinkers, the external and internal threats that pushed forth a needed defense for the government, and the ideals of the revolution that were the reasons why the revolution even began, thus the Reign of Terror is justified.

It cannot be denied that terrorism remains a serious problem but there is a strong argument that the United States government oversold the actual and potential risk and that the power and authority granted to

The Reign of terror, death, war, but most importantly, change. Arising conflicts in France's government and economy were the building blocks of the revolution. King Louis XVI, searching for help with the state of this government, could not control the change that the men he went to looking for help wanted(Background Essay). Mobs where the beginning and then the revolution escalated, leading to what we know today as the Reign of Terror. Some believe it was just unjustified killing

Everyone deserves protection, whether it’s a commoner or a Nobel. After all, should it not be that everyone is created equally? Should everyone have liberty and freedom? During 1793 and 1794, no one was really sure if the conditions in France were serious enough to require such a violent response by the revolutionary government. The Reign of Terror was not justified by any means, the whole process was too extreme since all the people were only fighting for their rights. Rights such as: Liberty, equality, and fraternity. In addition, the external threat did not require the terror, the internal threat and the people inside France did not deserve terror and fear of everything and everyone around them. Finally, the government responses were truly

The execution of Louis XVI marked the beginning of an 18 month period in France known as the Reign Of Terror. The Reign Of Terror happened during the French Revolution from September 5, 1793 to July 27, 1794. The French were fighting enemies of the revolution, like normal civilians. During the terror, the government had control of almost everything, like the economy, religion, and rules or laws. This drove many people to revolt against the government, causing the Reign Of Terror. From the evidence and the documents provided, the Reign Of Terror was not justified because the acts from the government taking action against the fighters of the revolution like death, the churches being closed by the government, and the rights taken from the people of France during this time.

The Reign of Terror was full of deaths, wars and invading for what? Power? Is that all they wanted, is that all it took for someone to look bigger and more powerful. The real question is was the Reign of Terror Justified? I believe the reign of terror was not justified for these three reasons: Their were unnecessary killings, human rights were violated and not acknowledged in the situation, and no good came out of the reign of terror. in 1789 the french revolution began and in 1794 everything ended. At the beginning the poor people were starving and the bread prices would go up because bad weather had devastated the grain harvest. here were unfair tax systems, louis to his credit sought the advice of nobles, church officials and even commoners but the problems just grew and grew. On August 26 the new revolutionary government had signed a new document called the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen which also ensured the liberty, equality and fraternity, For the people of france.

The Reign of Terror, led by Robespierre, was a frightening period during the French Revolution that occurred to bring liberty, property, and equality to the citizens of France so they could live in peace within the government. The Reign of Terror began after the execution of Louis XVI in January 1793 to late July 1794. Between those 18 long months, more than 20,000 french citizens were put to the death by the guillotine; a machine used for beheading people. The threats, methods, and ideals are the reasons for why the Reign of Terror was not justified.

Three great accomplishments done by the Soviets that should be remembered and out into Soviet textbooks are their space races, military strength, and the Great Terror. The Soviet Union was the first country to ever send space satellites. At the time not even the United States had made any discoveries involved with space. Next to the space race discoveries, the Soviets also had extremely well military strength. They did spend more than the U.S but the advancement in their military strength was greatly larger. Both accomplishments were amazing but another life changing event that should be placed into Soviet textbooks is the Great Terror. The great terror was a tragic time for the Soviets and for it to be remembered by their future generation

Crowds surrounded the platform which held the guillotine which would soon kill the king of France, King Louis XVI. Blood covered the floor as the kings head slowly rolled off, followed by clapping and cheering. Little did the people know, once Louis XVI was executed, it led to the start of the 18-month period of the French Revolution which later earned the name “The Reign of Terror”. From 1793-1794 The Reign of Terror took place, certainly fulfilling the name given. Led by chief prosecutor named Maximilien Robespierre, this time in France’s history would be filled with blood and guts and a whole lot of inequality. For something to be considered justified, it must be done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason. The Reign of Terror was

This essay will also analyse terrorism as a perceived deviance, the role of the moral entrepreneur and folk devil, in order to develop a level of understanding to the causes of this particular moral panic and its effects on society.

Walter Laqueur’s book, “The New Terrorism: Fanaticism and the Arms of Mass Destruction”, is empowering readers with the entire spectrum of terrorism. The reasons behind terrorism are not easy to understand, but Laqueur goes into great detail to try and bring the reader to an understanding of what the terrorist is thinking in order to justify the means to the end.
