The reason she was killed was pretty easy, she was queen. THe French people revolt becuase they were in constant poverty and the government did nothing but keep them there so they took back their country from the royalty and in the process they killed every person of royal lineage in sight so they could rule there own country. They used the guillotine in the place de concord ( a square in paris) and killed the royals.

Marie Antionette tried to stand up for her country, France, during the French Revolution. Many of her beliefs and statements opposed the French government. Because treason was condsidered a serious crime then, she was beheaded as punishment.

Because an ungrateful French public decided they did not want to have a monarchy and went for the blood of a young, niave French monarch.

Unlike leaders in today's political environment, she didn't have the sense to see which direction the people were heading and get out in front of them to lead them.
She was typical of European aristocrats, she thought she was so much better than the unwashed masses that she could remain above the fray.
'Fraid not . . .

Marie Antoinette was irresponsible in the way she governed during a time of peasant revolt. She lost her head over it.

she was queen. and they hated her and what the monarchy had come to represent. from the pesants point of view, the monarchy didnt care about the fact that they were starving and dying, marie antoinette was particularly famous for this.
in order to start fresh, they had to get rid of their past. and the worst thing about their past was their rulers, so " off with their heads"
