But since you asked, here it is.
The "Reign of Terror" or "The terror" for short was to stop the demise of the assemblee when the fractions of the assemblee went more and more head to head. In the end it took 30 years, 2 following monarchies and no less than 3 revolutions to stop the turmoil in late 18th early 19th century France which brought it to a social and economic bankruptcy. The constitutional assembly failed. There were too many monarchists to have a republic and too many republicans to have a monarch.
So no, the end did not justify the means, since the end wasn't met through the means and wouldn' t be for many years.
There you go, I presumed you wouldn't agree and you clearly don't! What's your problem?
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
