Yes, the 2nd Mexican Empire ended in tragedy. At least, the oficial history said that. A modern architect born in El Salvador investigated the story of a man named Justo Armas who lived in El Salvador at the end of the XIX century...... well, maybe the truth is still hidden.... !!!
I do not believe that rumor, it is too farfetched. Probably Justo Armas was an austrian solfier of fortune, who went to Mexico with Maximilian, when this one was defeated Armas ran away to Central America. He may have had some resemblance with Maximilian and that helped to make the myth.
Lean el drama Corona de sombra, del mexicano Rodolfo Usigli, que narra la desgracia de esta infeliz y su marido Maximiliano, "emperadores" de México porque así les vino en gana a Napoleón III y a su mujer Eugenia de Montijo. A cambio del ficticio imperio y de soporte militar, Maximiliano se encargaría de freir a impuestos a los mexicanos y mandar el dinero a los desaprensivos y ambiciosos Napoleón y Eugenia. Por desgracia para ellos, el patriota indio Benito Juárez puso fin a la farsa.
@MrPsychopompos jajaja cómo dice usted patrañas, se nota que necesita cursos de historia pero en serio. Lea bien. El Emperador Maximiliano I de México decreta la abolición de castigos corporales, tiendas de raya, herencia de deudas. Sus principales aliados son los indígenas, quienes ven en el emperador rubio de origen extranjero a su protector, quien reconoce sus propiedades y legisla la Ley de los Trabajadores del Campo que los abraza en un despacho único de asuntos indígenas.
@DonBoyso Por respeto a su madre no le digo su precio, ya que ella no tiene la culpa de que usted sea un triste paria infeliz que se oculta bajo el anonimato. Debería darle vergüenza utilizar la tecnología para darle un uso despreciable. Es mediante el debate, con conocimientos como se refuta una idea, no con ofensas. Si le duele la verdad que digo sobre Benito Juárez, no es mi problema, eso es lo que es. La patria mexicana tiene un traidor: Benito Juárez.
@DonBoyso Tu madre no tiene la culpa de que seas un parias, pusilánime. Es una pena que aun exista gente que con ofensas pretende debatir asuntos tan importantes.
Wow, its amazing that someone from the Czech Republic would be interested in Charlotte of Mexico. You really did an amazing job ! I´m from mexico and my paternal family are descendants from aristocrats of the first and second mexican empires, although the noble titles my family held in Mexico were abolished. Good job again and thanks for this amazing vid !
Beautiful!!! But just one correction: at 0:31, is not the Empress Charlotte, It's a painting called "Retrato de la Señorita Echeverría", made by catalonian painter Pelegrín Clavé, who came to Mexico to theach at the Academia de San Carlos during middle XIX century. Otherwise, congratulations!!!... By the way, what's the name of the music???
Se dice que mientras vivía en Roma, Italia, la Emperatriz Carlota en su demencia comenzó a creer que todo el mundo la odiaba y que la iban a tratar de envenenar y matar, por lo cual ella tomaba agua EXCLUSIVAMENTE de la famosa "Fontana de Trevi"....durante los años proximos, su demencia fué desapareciendo y volvió a tomar agua como una persona normal ! =D
It is said, that while living in Rome, Italy, Empress Carlota in her insanity believed that everybody hated her and was trying to poison her, for which reason she drank water EXCLUSIVELY form the "Fontana de Trevi" and from nowhere else....some time later her insanity began to fade away and she drank water like a normal person again ! =D
A lot of Austrians settled in deep Jalisco Marion, after Maximillian's death. I'm a descendant of one. That is what the 5th of May was all about. Pancho Villa went as far as the Magdalena Ranch lloking for these guys, but he was outnumbered and the Mexico troops returned after heavy losses. The untold and unwritten history. Anyway, history is a lesson to be learned and Carlotta was beautiful or Auntie Carlotta.

Y en Sinaloa, claro que hubo resistencia, pero Mazatlán fue adepto al Imperio, invierte en documentarte, cuando gustes te puedo recomendar algún libro, de historia de México de verdad.

@Luxbel The motherfucker is dead get over it. You invade an other country no matter how much of a humanist you are. IT"S NOT YOUR FUCKING COUNTRY!! Where do you get these insane ideas from? USA invaded Iraq in making it a democracy. We can see that was just a fantastic job. How is this any different?
@mazakiel, first, be quiet, then I don´t want offer the daily history lesson. But what I said about Juarez and Maximilian Emperor, is true. About Juarez, i like to know is dead with their traitorous bones.
@Luxbel I know my history fucknuckle I just don't think your crazy motherfucking mind understands how shit works. Your such a fucking romantic. . .oh the poor Empress. Who gives a fuck. You think in the what should be not in how things are. You hopeless romantic blow me. Me get a life? Your crying about a bitch who died years ago for taking what was not hers.
Hi Marion, Thanks for sharing this. I'm doing an opera on Carlota. And like you, I love to look at old 19thc. photographs--I'm amazed that you have some I've never seen. Your presentation has a lot of taste and class. Thank you!
Great photos... I've never seen the (variant) photo at 2:17... I have a Carte de Visite of Empress Carlota with that photo, but they must have taken a couple different poses...
Yes, Mexico has had two monarchies. After independence, the First Mexican Empire and in the 1860's the Second Mexican Empire. The grandsons of Agustin I (the first emperor) were adopted by Maximiliano I, and continue to be pretenders to the Mexican throne.
Yes, you're right, it was Spain's most important colony and sometimes referred to as the 'second Spain". Mexico gained its independence in 1821 and wanted the form of government to be monarchical. The first Emperor was part of the Mexican nobility (article 'Mexican nobility' at Wikipedia) and the second was from the European royal house of Habsburg. Europe and Mexico's histories, etc are very intertwined.
My Grandmother, born (1894) in Philadelphia, would always reiterate her story of the Empress of Mexico saying she had stayed with her parents for a time when she came to Philadelphia. It's good to see others remember her.
Wow! So interesting. There were actually two Empress consorts of Mexico. Empress Ana Maria (de Huarte y Muñiz) is buried in Philidelphia... She was probably the one to visit your grandmother's family. I wish I could've heard the stories!
You just forced me to do a research for this lady! So far, I focused on Marie Antoinette, but this looks also interesting. Great job! I gave you five stars :)
That's so great. I collect books on the subject as well - but probably only reached 15 of them. I'd love to see a play about them - I've always thought they should remake the movie, I'd have so many ideas for it!
@JulieEleonore A young, vibrant and very political savvy Carlota returning to 'beg' the Pope and Napoleon for help is utter nonsense. She had friends among the Indians (from the U.S.) who accompanied her back to Laredo and then to Oklahoma (Indian Country). Later traveling to D.C./West Virginia, while hoping to be restored to her former status, Carlota lived out her life, incognito in West Virginia. A book based on oral history will soon be available.
thanks a lot !!! I've been searching for the last four photos since i cant`remember when. I`m from Guadalajara, Mèxico and i love Empress Carlota, and i love u for this video......
Good work! A great deal of research, You just have one painting that does not belong to carlota but an aristocratic Mexican Lady of the time. Added to The Empress of farawell by Prince Michael of Greece there are other novels about her life, Among them The Cactus Throne and Noticias del Imperio. Also a movie called Juarez starting Betty Davis, As you I love this story.
she already showed sings of mental imbalance while in Mexico, but it fully exploded after napoleon refused further aid to mexico, she went totally delirious in Rome, in front of the Pope.
Thank so much MarionO11E. It's a nice song. Beautiful. But tell me something. Where are you from?... Why did you be interested at show this pictures about Charlotte of Mexico?. I'm really surprised at this.... You got a beautiful and very wealthy piece of work. Congratulations again. I love the figure of Charlotte, and It's amazing. Thank you.
I am from Czech Republic and I'm very interested in history. Especially the 19th century. I love Charlotte and I think it's very sad that she is not much known.
Excellent video. I am Mexican and a real fan of Emperor Maximilian and Empress Charlotte. I was pleasantly surprised by some not very well known images of the Empress and Maximilian..thanks for posting.
Tragic historical figure. She and Maximilian tried to do and go beyond what was possible.
