Content: He was killed by guillotine in April 1794. Maximilian Robespierre: Robespierre was one of the major players in the French Revolution, and he also played a major role in the Reign of Terror. He had some good ideas (like the abolition of slavery), but he went about achieving them through really violent measures. Things came to a head for Robespierre when he addressed the National Convention in July 1794, and was essentially booed off the stage for his paranoid speech that blamed many revolutionaries of conspiring against him. The people had finally had enough of Robespierre and his obsession with killing anyone that disagreed with him. He was swiftly arrested and put to death with his supporters on July 28, 1794.
