The day of 9 Thermidor (27 July 1794) is universally acknowledged
as a major turning-point in the history of the French Revolution.
At 12.00 midnight, Maximilien Robespierre, the most prominent
member of the Committee of Public Safety which had for more than a
year directed the Reign of Terror, was planning to destroy one of
the most dangerous plots that the Revolution had faced. By 12.00
midnight at the close of the day, following a day of uncertainty,
surprises, upsets and reverses, his world had been turned upside
down. He was an outlaw, on the run, and himself wanted for
conspiracy against the Republic. He felt that his whole life and
his Revolutionary career were drawing to an end. As indeed they
were. He shot himself shortly afterwards. Half-dead, the guillotine
finished him off in grisly fashion the next day. The Fall of
Robespierre provides an hour-by-hour analysis of these 24 hours.
