Marie Antoinette wrote letters to her brother, Emperor Joseph II of Austria, primarily to seek support and assistance during the turbulent times of the French Revolution. As the political situation in France deteriorated and her position became increasingly precarious, she sought to maintain a connection with her familial ties and appeal for aid. Her correspondence reflected her anxiety over the revolution's impact on her family and her desire for intervention on their behalf. Additionally, these letters served as a means of communicating her perspective on the unfolding events.
