The ninth of Thermidor: the fall of Robespierre
"Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre (IPA: [ma.ksi.mi.lj̃ f̃.swa ma.i i.zi.d d .bs.pj]; 6 May 1758? 28 July 1794) was a French lawyer, politician, and one of the best-known and most influential figures of the French Revolution. As a member of the Estates-General, the Constituent Assembly and the Jacobin Club, he advocated against the death penalty and for the abolition of slavery, while supporting equality of rights, universal suffrage and the establishment of a republic. He opposed war with Austria and the possibility of a coup by the Marquis de Lafayette. As a member of the Committee of Public Safety, he was an important figure during the period of the Revolution commonly known as the Reign of Terror, which ended a few months after his arrest and execution in July 1794"--Wikipedia
