What Is the Difference Between a Reign of Terror and Bloody Weeks?

In both cases, we are looking at top down state violence perpetrated against its own people. The ultimate goal of a reign of terror being the liquidation of perceived enemies of the revolution and a final consolidation of power by those in power. A bloody week is when a revolutionary government uses the power of the state to carry out political violence against defeated radicals. In both cases, they obviously happen after the contest between moderates and radicals has been decided. And carrying out a vast project of political violence is a team effort that never happens alone.
