Marie Antoinette


My friend and I were looking at movies on Netflix and we came upon the named Marie Antoinette. She exclaimed how great of a movie it was, and why it was such a significant event in the French Revolution. At the time, I was very unfamiliar with Marie Antoinette. So, in the previous hour I have been researching her, and I became overwhelmed with her life.

Marie Antoinette was a the queen of France during the revolution. She was crowned queen when she was 13 years of age. She threw lavish parties and bought lots of clothing. Her infantile behavior caused France to drown in debt. Putting thousands of people on the street starving to death. Finally, the people of France revolted and demanded for the queens death. The revolters got there favor, and Marie Antoinette was beheaded on October 17 1983.
