Childhood Marie Antoinette was born on November 2, 1755 in Vienna, Austria. She was the fifteenth and penultimate daughter of Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. She lived a very carefree life and received the best education that existed at that time in the 18th century. He focused his life on religious and moral principles while his brothers focused on academic education. After the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, leaders were busy strengthening their position and a common way they used was to make marriage alliances. In 1965, French Emperor Louis Ferdinand died, leaving his eleven-year-old nephew Louis Augustus as heir to the French throne. It was at this time that Marie Antoinette was betrothed to Louis Augustus. Their marriage, which took place on May 16, 1770, led Marie Antoinette to settle in France with her husband. Married life From the first day of marriage Marie did not fit in well with her husband as they both had completely different personalities and she was definitely not ready for marriage since she was a little girl who wanted to enjoy life. He wrote several letters to his mother expressing his unhappiness. Being a very young girl she did not have the patience or interest in taking part in the long rituals she was asked to perform. When Louis XV died in 1774 Louis Auguste became king and Mary became queen. He was fast, lively, daring and a person who loved to party, gamble, spend late nights and indulge in extravagant fashion. When he returned from the feast late at night, the king slept soundly, and when he got up at noon the king was at work. For this reason their marriage with......middle of paper......harsh climate destroyed several crops forcing people to live without food for several days. Further poor choice of product, low incomes due to low or no returns, all of which have affected farmers and the poor. At that time the nobles and the rich were never affected as they could pay high prices which the common man could not do. People moved to cities in search of work, which in turn affected already low production. Therefore food shortage was also one of the main reasons for the start of the revolution in France. Conclusion From the above arguments it is clear that Marie Antoinette was in no way responsible for the French Revolution. While it was true that she was concerned about her enjoyment and happiness, she could never be blamed for taxes, famine, the observations of great philosophers, the influence of American revolutionaries, weak rulers, etc..
