  The French revolution included multiple power struggles between competing revolutionary factions [1], which led to numerous executions of revolutionaries by revolutionaries including some of the founders of the republic (the same happened in Russia in 1917). The revolutionary calendar was partially reverted to the older Gregorian calendar with effect from 1802 (several years after the Reign of Terror) and fully abolished by Napoleon in 1806 [2]. He had become Emperor of the French and wanted to replace the vestiges of the Republic that had installed the calendar in the first place.
