27 Jul 1793 Jahr - Robespierre given even more power

Beschreibung:

Maximilien Robespierre was elected to the Committee of Public Safety, formed to oversee the government with virtual dictatorial control. Faced with pressures both from the outside and from within, the Revolutionary government instituted the Reign of Terror in September. In the next 11 months, 300,000 suspected enemies of the Revolution were arrested and more than 17,000 were executed, most by guillotine. In the bloodshed, Robespierre was able to eliminate many of his political opponents.
