Marie Antoinette was actually quite generous. 1. She donated a lot to charity. There's a letter she sent to her family in Austria that she cared and was concerned about the poor people in France 2. For "Let them eat cake", it's actually Rosseau who spread that propaganda. He probably referred to Queen Maria-Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV who lived a century prior. 3. She actually popularized the simple white dress to women in France. *"I was a queen, and you dethroned me. I was a wife, and you killed my husband. I was a mother, and you tore me from my children. Only my blood remains: you are thirsty. Drink it. Hasten to meet it that you may drink it."* -Marie Antoinette, 1793
She donated to charity but was a strict conservative who wanted her family to remain absolute monarchs, so clearly she liked the idea of people venerating her for her « charity » more than actually helping them. She also wanted to raise an army from Austria to invade her « own people », all to keep power. She did not say « let them eat cake » but her actions are the reason why people assume she did.
At the very least, she faced her fate with dignity. Her last words were "Pardon me, sir, I didn't mean to do that"... referring not to what she was accused of, but to having accidentally stepped on someone's foot on her way to the guillotine.
The same is true for Louis actually. I heard how he was not exactly anti-reformation but rather anti-revolution. Granted he did not help his case half the time but history paints him in a much worse light then he actually was.
One way I heard it described (I don't know how true it is) is that her famous quote wasn't so much a cruel/uncaring response to the starvation, as it was an ivory-tower liberal ditz's response: If the peasantry lacked bread makings, then simply feed them with cake dough (which was more expensive) to get them through the emergency . Ta-da, problem solved! Living in Versailles, where the wealthy ate well, it must have sounded to her like a perfectly reasonable plan. It was a problem of total lack of frame of reference, rather than callousness. (although that was a problem, too)
@@MM22966 Yeah, that's why I never really had a problem with the quote, despite it not being something she actually said; it was accurate to her attitude and what basically everyone thought of the royal family, that they couldn't comprehend what the problem was.

For anyone interested in a little background: Louis XIV introduced a really elaborate form of court etiquette as a way to keep control of his nobles. If they were fighting over who got to hand the King his gloves and who got to help the Queen put on her rouge then they wouldn’t have time to fight with him over important stuff. It sort of worked, and he actually had the longest reign of any monarch (that can be verified), 72 years. His grandson, Louis XV kept the system going, but he was a dilettante who spent his time chasing skirts and moping about his lot in life so the state began to stagnate. He reigned for a long time, almost 59 years. Louis XVI was his grandson and by the time he came to the throne things were in a bad way. France was getting kicked by Britain on the one side and Prussia on the other. It would have taken an extraordinarily strong ruler to turn things around and sadly Louis didn’t qualify.

Allegedly, Marat's skin condition was related to celiac disease. So, ironically, his debilitating skin condition would go away if he stopped eating gluten - as in, bread. Exactly what was lacking at the time.
Wow. That’s so horrible. To think that the cure would have been as simple as just cutting out bread. All his suffering was needless. That’s both funny and sad at the same time.
Separating a Frenchman from pastries is like separating Siamese twins, ultimately more trouble than it’s worth, and likely to cause horrific side effects
Anglia Alba Napoleonic wars, the British were little babies who needed allies to win against France, but they still lost 5 times even with allies, so your ancestors were fucking bad.
@@SpoonWitMe No as in the British lost 5 wars against the French before they actually won one. And that was with major continental powers like Russia, Prussia and Austria-Hungary.
"Fear, left unchecked, often boils over into anger, and that anger detonates with violence." Very true, that one statement actually sums up a lot of things.

Skyjohn so your one of those people who instead of going out and gaining knowledge on your own you want someone else to learn everything for you and then spend months creating a video to entertain you while teaching you about that period of history.
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodqu3859 Some of these pepole don't even know about the topics in the first place. Like i didn't about the three kingdoms and how China was ruled during that time. Also the way Oversimplified persents it brings in an audience that otherwise would not traditonally look up history topics.
I never said it was a bad idea also I don’t have a problem with learning from TH-cam or finding out new things but the way this person worded it made it seem as if he ONLY watches Oversimplified and I think that’s pretty stupid because there is only so much you can learn from one source, and I only want people to be educated.
Oui oui Mon Ami jemmepel Lafayette The Lancelot of the revolutionary set I came from afar just to say bonsoir to the king (something I don't know ) who's the best? C'EST MOI
Although most nobles and royals alive at the time of the revolution were executed some were spared. Marie Antoinette's children Louis and Marie Therese were imprisoned for the remainder of the revolution and weren't executed. Louis died during the revolution from tuberculosis age 7 and Marie Therese died in her late 60's many years after. The two remaining children of Louis XV, Victoire and Adélaïde fled to Rome before the revolution got worse. Victoire died in 1799 age 66 and Adélaïde in 1800 age 68.
It's amazing how Louis the 16th, one of the "weakest" kings, had such a large impact on history by funding the American Revolution on behalf of the colonies.
He actually wasn't as weak as depicted in general culture. He actually wanted to rule, having grown in the absolute monarchy of divine right. He was opposed to the revolution and tried to betray the nation several times (the King's escape from the Tuileries, Marie Antoinette giving some plans to Austria etc...). So the fact that he was so deeply implied in US history is actually not that surprising.
@@landrylongacre6391 I mean, if you're already deep in debt, the last thing you should do is go around financing revolutions just because you're salty about Britain winning the 7 Years War.

i mean he's done the american and french revoluitions, i think now he should cover the haitian revolution too since they are kind of like an enlightenment trio
The fact that he added the old united states flag at 3:45 really shows how much care he puts into these videos. Either that or I'm impressed by simple, easy to do things.
@@leonardhughe8825 You mean to me or Teman Nkri? Because if for me, then I was simply stating that I think the amount of effort that OverSimplified puts into his videos and that everything in his videos seems to be of very high quality is great, and defiantly deserves praise.
So basically you can sum up the entire French Revolution with that one Yoda quote from The Phantom Menace: “Fear, leads to anger. Anger, leads to hate. Hate, leads to suffering”.
I like how one video covers up my weeks of research materials… also it is funny that I crossed the video with Hamilton when Lafayette and Jefferson were mentioned. Ha……

“It seemed, the king was done negotiating.” Fear, left unchecked, often boils over into anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to the dark side.

Allegedly, Marat's skin condition was related to celiac disease. So, ironically, his debilitating skin condition would go away if he stopped eating gluten - as in, bread. Exactly what was lacking at the time.
Wow. That’s so horrible. To think that the cure would have been as simple as just cutting out bread. All his suffering was needless. That’s both funny and sad at the same time.
Separating a Frenchman from pastries is like separating Siamese twins, ultimately more trouble than it’s worth, and likely to cause horrific side effects

Skyjohn so your one of those people who instead of going out and gaining knowledge on your own you want someone else to learn everything for you and then spend months creating a video to entertain you while teaching you about that period of history.
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodqu3859 hey that's good idea
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodqu3859 Some of these pepole don't even know about the topics in the first place. Like i didn't about the three kingdoms and how China was ruled during that time. Also the way Oversimplified persents it brings in an audience that otherwise would not traditonally look up history topics.
I never said it was a bad idea also I don’t have a problem with learning from TH-cam or finding out new things but the way this person worded it made it seem as if he ONLY watches Oversimplified and I think that’s pretty stupid because there is only so much you can learn from one source, and I only want people to be educated.
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodqu3859 Very true. If you only see one thing in life, your perspective is limted.

Although most nobles and royals alive at the time of the revolution were executed some were spared. Marie Antoinette's children Louis and Marie Therese were imprisoned for the remainder of the revolution and weren't executed. Louis died during the revolution from tuberculosis age 7 and Marie Therese died in her late 60's many years after. The two remaining children of Louis XV, Victoire and Adélaïde fled to Rome before the revolution got worse. Victoire died in 1799 age 66 and Adélaïde in 1800 age 68.
It's amazing how Louis the 16th, one of the "weakest" kings, had such a large impact on history by funding the American Revolution on behalf of the colonies.
He actually wasn't as weak as depicted in general culture. He actually wanted to rule, having grown in the absolute monarchy of divine right. He was opposed to the revolution and tried to betray the nation several times (the King's escape from the Tuileries, Marie Antoinette giving some plans to Austria etc...). So the fact that he was so deeply implied in US history is actually not that surprising.
Arguably this was the worst mistake he ever made
@@landrylongacre6391 I mean, if you're already deep in debt, the last thing you should do is go around financing revolutions just because you're salty about Britain winning the 7 Years War.
Mário Ďuráč oh that too, but I meant helping them rebel to create the USA because this country was a mistake.
@@landrylongacre6391 Oh yeah, no argument there lol. Maybe a second revolution would be in order at this point, just start the country over and try again.
