After Robespierre was taken out, the Convention was supposedly in charge. But they botched their win so badly that they ended up with the end of the Republic and Napoleon as Emperor.
That period, from 1792 to 1799, is worth more attention. Because it covers the death of what had been, briefly, a democracy. Compare with Russia after the breakup of the USSR.
