>DANTONISTS: Hardcore Jacobins at first but once they had gotten basically what they wanted by breaking the power of the nobility and church they wanted to stop the violence and get on with things, but the Terrorists took this as a personal insult and killed them for not wanting to keep killing people
>HEBERTISTS: These guys make the Terrorists look sane in comparison. There's a reason why even Robespierre wanted them dead. It was mainly that they were super cringe militant atheists and rejected all morality whereas Robespierre wanted some type of moral foundation even if his personal morals were greatly compromised
>THERMIDORIANS: The guys who thought the Montangnards were right at first, or at least pretended to think so, so that they didn't get killed, but waited until Robespierre overplayed his hand to denounce him as a tyrant. They ended up implementing the policies of the Girondins, more or less, in the form of the Directory. Some of their original members were Montangnards who got pissed off at Robespierre, but most of them ended up getting purged in the reactionary anti-Terrorist sentiment that swept the country after the Thermidorians emptied the prisons and repealed censorship and martial law. They basically became anti-democratic libertarians that gave Napoleon his career
The French Revolution culminated in a military officer moving into Versailles and crowning himself emperor and restoring various elements of the ancien regime while also warring against a Holy Alliance of (mostly, but not exclusively) conservative powers while spreading the Napoleonic legal code which wasn't something the conservatives in their day were gonna do.
