For a 10-month period from September 1793 to July 1794, the nation of France went through a period which could only be called insanity. 

In the aftermath of the French Revolution, a small group of radicals took control of the Revolutionary French government and began eliminating all enemies of the revolution, both real and perceived. 

Tens of thousands of people were imprisoned, and thousands met their end with what the French called madame la guillotine. 

Learn more about the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, why it started, and how it ended on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
