Toppeling the Government
*Defenestrations
Latin de (out of) & fenestra (window)
year 1618
Prague was a melting pot of religious and political tension. In a time before organized voting or social media, throwing a leader out of a window was the ultimate "public comment." It was a highly symbolic, theatrical way of showing that the current authority was no longer recognized.
