The French Revolution is one of the most recognized revolutions ever. This is because the people of France did not get what the wanted for so long. After the French Revolution a group of Radical who opposed the idea of a monarchy led the Reign of Terror.
They were part of the Legislative Assembly and were completely against the King and wanted a new government. There were also the Moderates. They were the people that felt they were treated bad but not as bad as the Radicals so they did not want that many changes in the government. There were also the Conservatives. They supported the ideas of a limited monarchy and did not changes if any at all. Then the Radicals had their way though and the head of King Louis was chopped off and the leader of this new France was Max Robespierre. He promised the people of France democracy but he got power hungry and became what he tried to overthrow. He had started the Reign Of Terror which proved to be much worse than the King. The Reign came to an end with the head of Max Robespierre.
