The French Revolution led to the Reign of Terror in 1593.
The dictatorship imposed by the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror , from 1793 until 1794 , established price controls on food and other items , abolished slavery in French colonies abroad , dechristianised society through the creation of a new calendar and the expulsion of religious figures , and secured the borders of the new republic from its enemies .

The Reign of Terror or The Terror -LRB- la Terreur -RRB- is the label given by some historians to a period during the French Revolution , in an apparent attempt to retorically discredit or ` curse ' the politics and events especially during the dominating presence -LRB- July 1793 -- July 1794 -RRB- of Maximilien Robespierre on the Committee of Public Safety -- the de facto executive government of Revolutionary France .

Several historians consider ` reign of terror ' to have begun in 1793 , placing the starting date at either 5 September , June or March -LRB- birth of the Revolutionary Tribunal -RRB- , while some consider it to have begun in September 1792 -LRB- September Massacres -RRB- , or even July 1789 -LRB- when the first decapitations took place -RRB- , but there is a general consensus that it ended with the fall of Robespierre in July 1794 .
