Paris Commune (1789–1795)

The Paris Commune was the government that ruled over Paris from 1789 to 1795, led by the Templar Order-controlled Jacobin Club. Its leaders were Maximilien de Robespierre, Francois Hanriot, and other Jacobin leaders.
History
The Paris Commune was formed in 1789 by the Jacobin Club, a group of radicals led by the Templar Maximilien de Robespierre. The commune ruled over Paris after the overthrowing of King Louis XVI of France and oversaw the Reign of Terror against counter-revolutionaries and people that they deemed so. The commune was outlawed in 1794 when Robespierre, labeled a criminal by the National Convention, hid in their government center of the Hotel de Ville, and they were quelled when the Convention troops took over the hotel, in which most of the Commune guards were killed by Arno Dorian. Robespierre was executed on 28 July 1794, and the commune was eventually taken over by the French Republic.
