I can see both points of view. The Reign of Terror might be considered necessary to purge France of the enemies of the people. If they were allowed to live, they could regain power. On the other hand, such indescriminate and brutal violence was unnecessary and killed many innocent people. The enemies of the people could have been exiled or imprisoned.
Lessons? Is such violence ever necessary? Many revolutions have been fought and won without reigns of terror.

no
one might be force to say it was necessary since it guillotined a lot of people in france,the king and his wife,Marie Antonette were also guillotined .so it might be b necessary.
