(November 2, 1755 - October 16, 1793)
Marie Antoinette was the last Queen of France who was
married to Louis XVI. Marie Antoinette's early life was being
a pawn between the allies of France and Austria during the
Seven Years' War. Eventually, Marie Antoinette sided with
France and married Louis XVI. Antoinette's royalty wouldn't
last long through her life as French citizens began an upriser
against the tyranny of Louis XVI, which sparked the French
Revolution. The French Revolution was the bloodiest in
France's history thanks to its infamous execution method,
the guillotine. During the revolution, Antoinette would
bring the famous quote "Let them eat cake." Antoinette's
life ended when she was executed by the guillotine in 1793.
