The leader of the Jacobian party, Robbespierre, adopted a policy of terror to protect republic canism, put down internal revolt and to secure France from external attacks, from 1793 to 1794. This was called the reign of terror. Under this regime, Robbespierre began to put the revolters under the Gullotine, which was an implement to carry out a death sentence. The European nations were allying against France. Vigilance committees were made who searched for revolters and put them to death. The results of this terrorising system were very destructive. In fact, the leaders of the Jacobian Party, used terror to fulfill their personal ambitions and react to partisan enmity. The end to this reign of terror came with the fall of Robbespierre on 27 July, 1794. This period in France was a blot on the entire revolution.
