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