The opening of the work sets the stage for understanding the complex world in which Marie Antoinette lived, beginning with the backdrop of the 18th-century Diplomatic Revolution, which profoundly affected her life. It emphasizes her role as a pawn in the political strategies of her family and others, detailing how her marriage was part of a larger political alliance designed by her mother, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
