French Revolution when numerous massacres and public executions took place. Over 16,000 death sentences were carried out across France, and over 2,000 of those were in Paris, an additional 10,000 died in prisons without trial. There is still historical dispute over when the killings began during the French Revolution. The revolution caused a essential shift of power from the Catholic Church to the state and subsequently led to the de-christianisation movement that expropriated church lands, while killing or exiling priests. Do you think that the church influenced the massacre ?
