OTD in 1793, Maximilien Robespierre, the former head of the Jacobins, was elected to France's Committee on Public Safety. Soon after came the Terror, during which over 17K were executed, often by guillotine. He was arrested exactly 1 year later, and himself executed the next day. https://t.co/tBceyHmZ9f — PolitiTweet.org
