Marie Antoinette was the queen of which country?

She kinda lost her HEAD over that deal

Isn't she the one known for saying "let them eat cake!" when she heard her people were starving? I get my monarchs confused so please don't bite my head off if i'm wrong

HippieTasha, It is a popular translation but she may have meant something less callous than "let them eat cake". She was significantly out of touch with the common people and surrounded by insincere shallow courtiers. Sort of like the people we have in Washington, D.C. or my state capital, Salem., Oregon

What she said was 'let them eat brioche' which is a type of bread, it's since been commonly translated as 'let them eat cake'.

HippieTasha, no she never said that, that's a myth.

France was in huge financial difficulties anyway after helping America in the war of independence against the British - they also gave America the statue of liberty. She was a useful scapegoat

HippieTasha, yes
