Understanding the key events, figures, and societal shifts of 1789–1799.

Step 1: Identify the organization created in April of 1793 (Question 34)

In April 1793, during a period of foreign war and domestic crisis, the National Convention created the Committee of Public Safety (Comité de salut public). It was designed to protect the newly established republic against foreign attacks and internal rebellion, eventually becoming the de facto executive government of France during the Reign of Terror.

Step 2: Describe the Reign of Terror (Question 35)

The Reign of Terror (September 1793 – July 1794) was a period of state-sanctioned violence and mass executions during the French Revolution. Led primarily by Maximilien Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety, the revolutionary government arrested, tried, and executed anyone suspected of being an "enemy of the revolution." Tens of thousands of people across France, from aristocrats to ordinary citizens, were executed by the guillotine.

Step 3: Identify when the Reign of Terror occurred (Question 36)

The Reign of Terror occurred from September 5, 1793, to July 27, 1794 (ending with the fall of Robespierre, known as the Thermidorian Reaction).

Step 4: Analyze public sentiment toward Marie Antoinette (Question 37)

During her time as Queen, the French public generally felt great resentment, hostility, and distrust toward Marie Antoinette. She was viewed as a symbol of royal extravagance and financial waste (earning the nickname "Madame Déficit"). Because of her Austrian heritage, many French citizens also suspected her of being a foreign spy who was actively working against the interests of France and the Revolution.
