there is too many scenarios about April fools
but we will talk about one is too important and it is " It all kicked off in France for the revolution "
Another theory is the French Revolution played a part. April 1 is the anniversary of the event...you may ask why is this linked to comedy?
Historians say back on April 1, 1789, after the French people deposed King Louis XVI, King George III of England made a joke which has continued the tradition until today. He pretended to step down.
The peasants took to the streets to celebrate their new freedom..and then were arrested and imprisoned.
