We're studying the French Revolution in my World History and it was sooo bloody! I had no idea! Before we started studying it I thought it was some war like the American Revolution but the French people went insane! They would kill anyone by guillotine who made the smallest comment against the French Revolution at one point, it was called the Reign of Terror. Everyone was constantly fighting and killing eachother... just so much violence.. I am SO glad I did not live back then in France. Just plain scary..
Random Thing about the Guillotine: The guillotine was the method used to execute people during the Revolution. The reason they used it was because they wanted a cleaner, quicker way to kill people, so the guillotine came into the picture. There were studies that the guillotine doesn't kill you right away though, apparently heads can possibly stay alive for a few seconds or minute or something and react to a slap or their eyes focus.. but it could just be random muscle spasms since the head was disconnected from the body.. but if you are alive for a few seconds.. that must suck.. or be a weird feeling, I don't know.
