Why was each ultimately sent to the guillotine?

Why was each ultimately sent to the guillotine?

Answer

  1. Marie Antoinette: Convicted of treason and theft, widely blamed by the revolutionaries for her extravagant spending, ignoring the poor people's suffering, and conspiring with foreign enemies.
  2. King Louis XVI: Convicted of high treason against the French nation, tried to flee the country during the Flight to Varennes, was caught scheming with foreign monarchies to overthrow the new government, and tyranny.
  3. Robespierre: Overthrown/arrested, grew too powerful/tyrannical, executing thousands without proper trial so the people did the same for him on July 28th, 1794.
