1793 Declaration of terror in France

225 years ago, on September 5, 1793, the National Convention of France, controlled by the Jacobins, established a regime of terror that involved the execution of "enemies of the revolution" under summary judicial procedure. In less than 11 months (until July 27, 1794) of terror, according to various estimates, from 16 to 40 thousand people, mainly Girondins, royalists and representatives of the clergy, became its victims.
