Question: When did the group ruling the country considered one of NATO's creators during the reign of terror start?

The Committee of Public Safety succeeded the previous Committee of General Defence (established in January 1793) and assumed its role of protecting the newly established republic against foreign attacks and internal rebellion. As a wartime measure, the Committee -- composed at first of nine, and later of twelve, members -- was given broad supervisory powers over military, judicial, and legislative efforts. It was formed as an administrative body to supervise and expedite the work of the executive bodies of the Convention and of the government ministers appointed by the Convention. The Committee of Public Safety (French: Comité de salut public) -- created in April 1793 by the National Convention and then restructured in July 1793 -- formed the de facto executive government in France during the Reign of Terror (1793 -- 94), a stage of the French Revolution. As the Committee tried to meet the dangers of a coalition of European nations and counter-revolutionary forces within the country, it became more and more powerful. <SEP> On 6 April the Committee of Public Safety was created, which gradually became the de facto war - time government. <SEP> his reign represented the start of a new era in brunei. the discovery of oil changed the whole course of brunei's history and enabled faster development in all sectors of the country. the expansion and improvement of formal education and his encouragement of religious education were some of his additional contributions to brunei darussalam. <SEP> nato has added new members seven times since its founding in 1949, and since 2017 nato has had 29 members. twelve countries were part of the founding of nato: belgium, canada, denmark, france, iceland, italy, luxembourg, the netherlands, norway, portugal, the united kingdom, and the united states. in 1952, greece and turkey became members of the alliance, joined later by west germany (in 1955) and spain (in 1982). in 1990, with the reunification of germany, nato grew to include the former country of east germany. between 1994 and 1997, wider forums for regional cooperation between nato and its neighbors were set up, including the partnership for peace, the mediterranean dialogue initiative and the euro - atlantic partnership council. in 1997, three former warsaw pact countries, hungary, the czech republic, and poland, were invited to join nato. after this fourth enlargement in 1999, the vilnius group of the baltics and seven east european countries formed in may 2000 to cooperate and lobby for further nato membership. seven of these countries joined in the fifth enlargement in 2004. the adriatic states albania and croatia joined in the sixth enlargement in 2009, montenegro in 2017. <SEP> The GPRF laid the groundwork for a new constitutional order that resulted in the Fourth Republic, which saw spectacular economic growth (les Trente Glorieuses). France attempted to regain control of French Indochina but was defeated by the Viet Minh in 1954 at the climactic Battle of Dien Bien Phu. Only months later, France faced another anti-colonialist conflict in Algeria. The systematic torture and repression, as well as the extrajudicial killings that were perpetrated to keep control of Algeria, then considered as an integral part of France and home to over one million European settlers, wracked the country and nearly led to a coup and civil war.In 1958, the weak and unstable Fourth Republic gave way to the Fifth Republic, which included a strengthened Presidency. In the latter role, Charles de Gaulle managed to keep the country together while taking steps to end the Algerian war. France was one of the founding members of NATO (1949). The war was concluded with the Évian Accords in 1962 that led to Algerian independence. The Algerian independence came at the price a heavy human toll among the Algerian population. It resulted in some 500,000 to 1 million deaths and over 2 million internally displaced Algerians. A vestige of the colonial empire are the French overseas departments and territories.
