Guillotine
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
The guillotine is a machine used to kill people (by chopping off their heads). It got its first common use in France during the French Revolution of 1789. It was in common use in France, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. Since all those countries have stopped capital punishment (the death penalty), the guilliotine is no longer in use.
