.@duolingo is down, but you can learn something! The French cravate (necktie) is from Croates (how the French call Croats) & "Hrvati" (how Croats call themselves). It was worn by Croatian mercenaries in French service during the Thirty Year's War & the fashion spread from there. pic.twitter.com/HSRmK1VdKg
