Why does everyone love Marie Antoinette so much? I just don't get it. She was kind of a horrible person. She helped bankrupt France, which ultimately lead to the revolution, which lead to the killing of thousands. But in the end it worked out okay, after the deaths.
We've been studying the French Revolution if European history. So interesting., so much stuff went down.
But back to Marie Antoinette, sure she was glamorous, she dressed nice, she was rich But why the obsession? I guess because I know the history I'm turned off. Sometimes history ruins everything...nope not really. Now I wont make the mistake of liking her.
You know she never said "Let then eat cake" Never happened. She also was almost ripped limb from limb by fish women. In the end only her head was cut off. The nursery rhyme Jack and Jill is partly based off her and Louis XVI. She also had a mini old fashioned French village constructed in the back woods of Versailles
You know you can always come to me for boring historical facts and political rants. There are defiantly more to come.
lets hear some more, and they are not boring.
