How did Marie Antoinette become queen of France?

Her marriage to Louis XVI at the age of 14 when he was only 15 had been made to strengthen France's alliance with its long-time enemy, Austria. The union, however, was not altogether popular, and Marie Antoinette's actions only increased hostility toward her.

She was now the Queen of France, and ever since the revolutionaries wanted to get rid of their monarchs to start a republic, vicious rumors had spread about her and she was seen as the cause of the great dept that France was in, the revolutionaries, therefore, decided not only to kill the King of France, but also his wife, Marie Antoinette. Not only that, but she was extremely mean towards peasants. She said that if they were having troubles, "let them eat cake!" which basically meant she didnt really care about their situation money wise or didnt know about it.
