October 16, 1793

A few months after her husband was killed, Marie Antoinette was. She was executed by the guillotine. They tore her away from he children and put on trial. There, she was accused of high treason. Her children were taught to forget all about their parents and monarchy. This came true unfortunately, and her son ended up dying because of the conditions he was put in.

The significance of this event? The monarchy was completely abolished. The king and queen had been out of power for a few years now, but now they were gone. The country had beheaded them. There was no more monarchy. The country would control itself.
