killing of the King.
In the middle of the chaos,
Maximilien
Robespierre
assumed power. He killed anyone who threatened his power. (Over
40,000 people)85% of the people killed were poor (supposedly those for whom the Revolution was carried out). This was called the Reign of TerrorSlide11

to get rid of
Robespierre
July 28, 1794: Robespierre lost his
head
.
National Convention met and created another new government (the third since 1789).New plan gave power to the middle class, created a two branch legislature, and an executive branch known as the DirectoryThe Directory picked a guy named
Napoleon
to be their new commander of the French armiesSlide12
