Does anyone know about the war vs. Austria?

Question

It happened during the French revolution and had something to do with Marie Antonette. She never said let them eat cake. I need help on a project. Thanks.

War of the Austrian Succession is what it was called.

Answer 1

Reportedly planned by Marie Antoinette, the escape of the royal couple from Paris was stopped at Varennes on October 21, 1791. Imprisoned with the king, Marie Antoinette continued to plot. She hoped for foreign intervention to end the revolution and free the royal family. She urged her brother, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II, to intervene, and supported a declaration of war against Austria in April, 1792, which she hoped would result in the defeat of France.

Marie Antoinette was executed by the guillotine. She was charged with aiding the enemy and inciting civil war.

I believe you're looking for The French Revolutionary Wars
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolutionary_Wars

The French Revolutionary Wars were a series of major conflicts, from 1792 until 1802, fought between the French Revolutionary government and several European states.

Answer 2

France fought with Austria many times. I think the war to which you are refering is the Seven Years War. Though the Marie Antoinette quote, which is likely bogus, is said to have led to the French Revolution which was not really a war versus Austria. Austria did intervene on behalf of the French monarchy, but that did nothing to save Louis and Marie from being beheaded. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Austria has come in Macedonia 1690 and fought against Turks. General Picolomini burned Skopje cause of plague and the town never raised again like before.
