The '''Committee of Public Safety''' was a post-[[French Revolution]] faction that gained near dictatorial control over France during the [[Reign of Terror]]. Established on April 6, 1793, it was not intended to have dictatorial powers as it was reapproved every month by the [[Convention]]. However, after June 2 of that year, when the [[Girondins]] were forcibly removed from power, the CPS became the tools of the [[Jacobins]] and later [[Maximilien de Robespierre]] who joined on July 27, 1793.

On December 4, 1793, the law of Frimaire established [[revolution]]ary government. The CPS was granted full control over ministers and generals, [[foreign policy]] and the [[Terror]]. Despite providing a stable government for France and ending the anarchy of the Revolution, rejected the principles of the 1789 Revolution. 1,594 people were executed in [[Paris]] during the period from June 10, 1794 to July 27, also known as the Great Terror. After the fall of Robespierre, in which the CPS played a minor role, many of its members joined the [[Thermidorians]] who moved the politics of the Revolution away from the extreme left and towards the center, unwittingly preparing France for [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] to take over.
