Talk:Sans-Souci Palace

Of course it is!
""Some scholars have also asked whether Christophe took part of his inspiration for the palace from the Prussian emperor Frederick the Great's palace in Potsdam, Sanssouci, a symbol of European Enlightenment achievement.""

That is not a question at all, it's a fact. Before writing such nonsense just have a look at Sanssouci in Potsdam. The front part is similar beyond doubt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.139.113.121 (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Amateur mistake. A likelier explanation is pure chance. Trouillot has shown that there is no direct evidence suggesting any affinity to Sanssouci in Potsdam, apart from visual similarity. Rather, there is strong evidence that shows Henri Christophe built it to show his power over the rebel loyalist and his enemy Jean-Baptiste Sans Souci, who refused to accept Christophe's authority because Christophe defected to the French in 1802. Christophe then killed Sans Souci and likely built the palace there. OwlzOfMinerva (talk) 16:50, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
