Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject History of Europe – Modern Times, Absolutism, Industrialization, grade: B, University of Auckland (History), course: History 324 – Old Regime and Revolution in France, language: English, abstract: The Terror of the French Revoltion has devided the world of scholars right from the
beginning. It is a crucial issue which was often connected with emotions and political
attitudes, when it was approached. Many questions rose when relating the violence and the
Terror with the genuine ideology of the French Revolution. Was it a part of it right from the
beginning? Or shall we see the Terror as an accident incompatible to democracy and the
origins of the French Revolution? This essay attempts to depict the reasons for the terror
with the aim to be able to judge the Terror. To judge means to be able to distinguish between
different sorts of Terror and to place the judgement into the scholarly discourse. The
depiction will leave out the description of developments but rather pick certain events and
breaks to show why and how Terror was used. Furthermore the essay will leave out the end
of the `Great Terror` as well as the `White Terror`.
