The parties that fanned the French Revolution
Although parties have always been known as a way to unite people, they were actually one of the main reasons that caused The French Revolution. This was because aristocracies would be torn apart by hosting these types of events.
At the luxurious Masquerade parties, Marie Antoinette was often Drowned in Champagne and known to spy on others behind masks. It was rumored she even had affairs at these events, always leaving her royal husband, the king, at home!
