Detailed Solution

Maximilien Robespierre ruled with an iron fist in France during the "Reign of Terror".
The period from 1793 to 1794 is referred to as the Reign of Terror when Maximilien statesman Robespierre ruled with an iron fist. All those he perceived to be republican foes, including ex-nobles, clergy, members of rival political parties, and even members of his party who disagreed with his methods, were apprehended, imprisoned, and then convicted by a revolutionary tribunal. If they were found to be guilty, they would also be executed. In addition, the legislation passed by Robespierre's administration set a maximum ceiling on prices and wages. Bread and meat were restricted. Thus, Robespierre's rule with strict control and punishment policies was called the "Reign of Terror".
