18th century France
The country suffers a violent period
of social and political revolt.
The Church is stripped
of any authority and land.
The King and Queen are executed,
crosses are destroyed,
and hundreds of priests are
murdered by angry mobs.
The guillotine is created and serves
as a warning to anyone who opposes
the new powers that be.
A new calendar is also introduced
for the sake of dechristianization
and tens of thousands of people are
murdered by the government
and the social movements.
At the time some thought of this as
a revolution, a new beginning
a better execution of freedom
with a perfect understanding of tolerance.
But history has remembered this time as
the reign of terror.
