Not only the video itself is moving. The realising that with this funeral, the old ways of Europe were buried forever. This was the last Emperor of the truly old school. The Funeral of an emperor, and a 1000 year old tradition.
Part of the eerieness--the royalty from various countries marching in this funeral procession had themselves only a couple of years left on their thrones, before the world was rearranged without them.
The women's veils--they were black but transparent. You would have been able to see their faces. The age of the film makes them look darker than they were.
He will always be missed in Galicia.. Late Austria-Hungary was a precursor of the EU.. freest Empire of Europe.. not to mention our most beautiful Empress.. surprised that whom we used to call "German Austrians" don't thrive of that pan European Hapsburg's tradition..

@TruthNotMedia Islam is an utter nonsense religion. Muslims should just go on xtube, masturbate, and forget their pagan god and that mohamed who was probably just some junkie whore. all those bitches in black are just crying out for a good raw fuck and a load of semen in their pussies. sluts.
@TruthNotMedia Also: the veils look much more opaque given the quality of film available in 1917. They would have been much more translucent in person.
@bradleyjm44 what happened to " tolerance" and "freedom of speech"? or you rub the shit in peoples' faces when defending your filthy gay and drug lifestyle?
@DannyTallGuy Who said anything about my alleged gay/drug lifestyle? And I'm just saying, typical Muslims to claim that the Earth revolves around them. These women are Christian, NOT Muslim. And I'll be damned to Hell if I let any Muslim dirty their good name by calling them Muslim -- i.e., heretic pagans. Muslims worship a false god and revere an immoral and extremely false prophet, viz. Muhammed. He is in Hell. So, yeah, FUCKIN' MUSLIMS.
@TruthNotMedia You complete fool. In the civilised world, black is a colour of mourning, and veils were traditionally worn by women at times of mourning. While black is still worn, the style of attire has moved with the times and veils are no longer worn. It is not Islamic attire; your nonsense religion has nothing to do with it.
Franz Joseph's direct descendant, Otto Habsburg-Lothringen, died today. I understand he was four years old when he walked in this procession, probably one of the last survivors.
I am American because my Serbian grandfather didn't want to fight for Franz Joseph. RIP all.
@TruthNotMedia MOREOVER ,IF YOU KEEP ON INSISTING THESE WOMEN DRESS ACORDING THE ISLAMIC DRESS CODE ,I'LL THROW AWAY YEARS OF FASHION HISTORY JUST FOR YOU ,AND IN ORDER TO PLEASE YOU AND MAKE YOU FILL YOU HAVE TRUTH IN YOUR MOUTH ,I'LL LIE TELLING YOU THEY DRESS LIKE ISLAMIC WOMEN!!!!HAPPY?

@TruthNotMedia they aren't dress like islamic women....they just wear a black veil ,sign of sorrow for the dead emperor and not of submission!!!they are dressed to toe becouse that was the fashion it was early 1900!!!!!in europe as sign of sorrow people wear black and man high uniform.......sorry, in europe women had never hide their body ,and nobody force them to do it!!!!!
Et pendant ce temps là, des milliers d'hommes mourraient chaque jour, sans sépulture, tués par la guerre voulue par le caprice de ce vieillard sénile. Dans les poubelles de l'histoire, ces maudits Habsbourg et leur satané empire.
@TruthNotMedia Evidently It is not a islamic dress but a mourning one, used only for funerals and it is not required by christian doctrine. Women wore never that way in dayly life, not even in the Middle Ages, and even for funerals they wore that way only during ceremonies. And regards mens, they wore a black ribbon on the arm. This women's suit was used only for the funeral, then they wore in black a few months, meanwhile the ribbon men's was required for several month.
@storicus My question was an educational question not an inquiring one so you respond with brazen ignorance and bigotry. I'm specialized in European history, the real history, not the Zionist version.
European royalties dressed in "modesty" and lived up to high moral standards, nudity was not tolerated and the way artists depicted most of them was untrue. Most European dignified ladies covered their faces, imitating the highest modesty habit, Islamic rules.
Don't be angry, my friend. I just forgot this ..In any case, I respect all of AH history, and many of my people lived in that empire. But you started first, with insults and I just answered in each style.
In this summer I will be in Wienna. I hope it will be beautifull moments.
Best wishes for you. It's not necessery for us to be enemies.
Again to Goran -- what did the Serbs achieve by this murder? They were involved in a war from which they suffered so much, and then the Allies "rewarded" them after a similarly bad diplomatic issue which brought yet another pest to you -- communism -- by agreeing to accept Tito and not to support the King's Government. So Karadjordjevic are so unimportant in the view of the dynasty which ruled since Charlemagne and who are still, if not Emperors, more present and respected in Europe.
God I could never have expected that y little comment would spark such a debate. It only shows how the House of Habsburg still exists within history. Moreover, Archduke Otto von Habsburg, the Heir to the Throne, was elected to be a lifelong president of the European Parliament since he was amongst those who initiated the idea of European integration. He was also supportive of the Jews during WW2, and prosecuted by the Nazis.
Not true. Holding an honours degree in modern history I have to say I have always admired Austria-Hungary; and their efforts in The Great War were splendid. Please do not think that the BBC is in any way reflective of the British nation. It is not. It is a left-wing political broadcaster.
@Wotansrabe666 That is wrong of course. The BBC has very very little knowledge of their own history save an except a whitewashed view of Britain's role in the world. All the whitewashed nonsense of bringing civilization to the world, and none about the astonishing cruelty that British overlordship that it represented to everybody else.
@0GT70 We notice that you do not know the history of western painting, western women wear the veil mandatory leave from the Middle Ages. Marie Antoinette wearing veil? Catherne II of Russia, Maria Theresa of Austria? Isabel la Catolica? etc etc. These are the contributions that bring us Arabs
would have been better if not ruined by devilish circus tricks........unfortunately a common problem around the planet and particular among "royals". - they like to play. "let's get started and see what happens"....an unfortunate statement / plan by a player at that time and created a disaster that has not yet been appropriately stopped.
This video sends shivers down my spine... It's really moving, because with Kaiser Franz Joseph a generation and an era has died, along with all the moral values which were comprised all over Europe by the 'Victorian life'. Things have never been the same ever since and I'm affraid they will never be. I hate that I was born too late!
It's a sign of mourning & respect for the deceased.Admittedly,many European & other western nations seem to wear highly 'over-the-top' mourning dress,especially high ranking members of society.If you seek out footage of the 3 women of at the centre of the British monarchy when they attended the funeral of King George 6th,in 1952,they also wore such mourning dress.And,women in predominantly catholic countries still wear the mantilla,a similar head veil of black lace.
I have watched many of these WWI videos, and the overwhelming majority of the posts in them show that hardly anybody is happy with the results of that war. What were you thinking, Gavrilo?
en effet ça veux rien dire , c'était une bonne soeur assez âgé avec qui j'avais eu une discussion sérieuse et elle m'avait fait part de ce quelle pensait être du dogme ,de toute façon de nombreux spécialistes des évangiles font des débats sur le sujets ,mon premier commentaire était pour mettre le point sur le fait que dans le passé la pudeur était une valeur partagé et aujourd'hui quand cette pudeur est défendu par des musulmans ils sont taxés d' arriérés et machistes c'est drôle non ?
@TheCobraPower1 LA discusion été sérieusse mais pas la souer. N'imporque qui ayant lu le premier chapitre de n'importque quel libre de théologie sait que dogme est uniquement ce que fait partie consubstantial de la croyance religieuse, en rapport avec le message divin et la dinvinité elle même(par exemple la divinité du Christ pour les chretiens ou l'origine divine du coran en islam). Le voile ne rampli aucune d ces 2 conditions. C pourquoi le voile n'a jamias été obligatoire x les catholiques
@TheCobraPower1 Partagé avec qui? Il faut savoir que le voil n'etais pas obligatoire, et qu'il etais uniqumenet pour assister à des céremonies. Zita, emperatrice d'Autruche ne s'est voilé que pour le funerailles. Quant aux garcons, ils avaient et ils ont encore des restrictions vestimentaires dans l'eglise, par exemple ne pas se couvrir la tête. Pendant long temps les hommes ne devaient rentrer à l'eglise en chemise.
@storicus oui c'est vrai , une religieusement chrétienne m'avait dit que le voile en vérité devrait être obligatoire pour les femmes et que aujourd'hui cela serait difficile de le remette a l'ordre du jour ???
@TheCobraPower1 Excuses-moi mais votre commentaire ne veux rien dire. "une religieusement chrétienne" c'est qui cette personne? La damme du bureau de tabac ou la coiffeusse? C'est comme si je vous disait q'un religieux musulman m'a dit ce ci ou ce la! Soufit-il que quelqun disse quelque chose pour que cela fasse doctrine? Evidement non! Je vous invite à vous retourner plutot vers de libres ou des expresions avec poids doctrinal, tels encycliques, catechisme, etc.
The British government is corrupt as they come. They sacrificed everything and and lost as well. The greed and corruptness contributed to fall of royal houses and the deaths from Louis XIV to Czar Nicholas II. God protect our sovereign Czar Nicholas II
Prima.Dies ist ein Katholischer Trauerschleier.Aber lies deine Bibel und bilde dich. Im alten Testament steht das Rebeca kein Mann sie erkannt hat denn sie hat eienen Schleier getragen. Bravo.Deine Worte zeigten mal wieder das wahre Gesicht.Hast du im Spiegel geschaut ? Deshalb hast du einen Indoktrinat gesehen.Und wenn der Trauerschleier im Christentum einen hohen Rang hat warum zerreist ihr eure Mäuler wenn Islamische Frauen einen Schleier Tragen.

Rebekka? Du spielst auf Genesis an? Das war vor über 2000 Jahren, ist doch gleichermaßen logisch wie irrelevant, was die angehabt hat.
Der Trauerschleier hat keinen hohen Rang, ist einfach Tradition. Am Land gab es bis in die 80er Frauen, die beim Arbeiten einen Schleier tragen, damit die Haare nicht dreckig werden. Mir ist der Schleier wurscht. Diese Steinzeit-Islamisten wie "the truth" finde ich aber schrecklich. Der islamische Schleier wird halt als politisches Statement begriffen.
All of the peoples under the Hapsburg prospered. Idiot British doomed Europe to another world war by destroyng Hungary and Austria. Funny how they wanted self-determination for all but Austria and Hungary.
I live in a constitutional monarchy and, though I have strongly socialist opinions, I like very much the constancy that a monarchy provides. I would not like to see it go. Tradition is important to human beings.
@Augie47 I love you Augie47. Finally I found a socialist (or "left-wing") person that agrees that tradition is important to human beings. You see, people here in Europe are loosing their "touch". It's a bit of extremes - eradicate all royals because they're undemocratic. But it is democratic to have corrupted Republics that don't serve the people. It's just for you to have that feeling you elect another corrupted bastard who had to lie, cheat, bribe and stab to make his way up.
@takatof They're veiled for mourning. It was a custom that no longer exists. The practice of a woman wearing a veil in western culture is now limited to the three minutes it takes for her to walk down an aisle gowned for her wedding. And even then it's becoming positively rare.
@takatof Maybe you should think: This is only the way they dress when mourning. Where would we go to if everyone could hide her identity? To darkest Middle Ages.
people don´t like the idea of falling back to these dark times
The fact that you don´t see this immediately means you have no idea of what civilization and the progress thereof is. Teachers in europe´s schools have been pathetic in conveying these things
If royals in Europe dress exactly like Muslim women... why many people in the West still oppose Muslim women wearing Hijab and even find it weird ??!!

Commes les gens ont la mémoire courte, il y a de cela 1 siècle, les femmes portaient elles aussi le voile intégral, même si ce n'était que pour ce genre de cérémonie !!
Auch wenn ich kein Befürworter der Monarchie bin, aber dieser Kaiser war einer der Fähigsten für die Doppelmonarchie gewesen! Im Gegensatz zu unseren Politikern (Deutschland und Österreich) hat er das gewisse Etwas gehabt ;)
@Dasko1990 dem muss ich leider etwas widersprechen: ja es stimmt zwar, dass er für die doppelmonarchie gut war, aber nur als verwalter des reicches - insgesamt war er in seiner geistigen haltung reaktionär, hielt an den strukturen und teils auch ideaologien des vormärz fest und übersah damit alles, was an sozialer und technischer entwicklung in seiner regierung seit 1848 passierte. dies führte dann letzten ende zum untergang der monarchie, genauere antwortist biographisch nachzulesen über ihn
I like the labels of some of the dignitaries and relatives like Emperor Karl and Empress Zita (who lived into the 1980s), and allies like King Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
Many thanks storicus for posting this video. It must be a very sad day in Austria and I am moved by the music in particular. It is amazing that you are able to post an event that occured in 1916 for us in 2010 to view.
Also, ich bin kein Italiener, ich bin tatsaechlich Schotte, und ich muss zugeben, dass ich aus kulturellen Gruenden Osterreich (und selbstverstaendlich Wien) liebe, aber seitdem ich 4 Monate in der Stadt verbracht habe, kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass das Land etwas anderes braucht, als alten Revanschismus zu befriedigen. Versteh mich nicht schlecht, Mann: ich bin kein Feind Oesterreiches. Ich moechte nur, das so ein edeles Land was besseres fuer seine Zukunft haette.
Tja, Bruederlein, meine Ex war schon aus Sued-Tirol, und ich hab ein Geheimnis fuer dich: die wollen eben Oesterreich gar nicht zurueck!!! Ihnen geht es tatsaechlich gut ohne osterreichische Steuerzusaetze. Weisst du vielleicht, dass sie unter der italienischen Regierung so gut wie zwei Drittel von den Steuern zurueckbekommen? Es geht ihnen tatsaechlich schoen, sie haben die besten Strassen und die besten Krankenhaeuser im ganzen Land.
@paterike: Toll, du kriegst Sued-Tirol zurueck. Was wuerdest du damit anfangen? Glaubst du etwa, dass das genug waere, um Oesterreich mal wieder eine Weltmacht zu machen???? Wach mal auf, Kumpel...
@jamesjoyce77 er hat schon recht damit. du bist derjenige der anscheinend schläft! wie darf es sein das ein stück land wohinn kommt wo es nicht hingehört?! auch noch durch falschheit, ehrlosigkeit, niederträchtigkeit und verrat!
österreich braucht keine weltmacht werden...nur wieder eine monarchie mit nseren einstigen "brüdern und schwestern" einen europäische großmacht wie einst ist das ziel. ein land das man ernst nimmt. das nicht für hurensöhne wie fritzl und priklophil der depp bekannt ist!
If Austria-Hungary had at least a respectable military, WW1 might have been an entirely different story. Early A/H success could have ended WW1 in less than 2 years with them victorious. As a BBC documentary says Germany was "Shackled to a Corpse". Not taking sides here, but I always wonder why A/H was eager to fight a larger war they were so unprepared to do?
@gorangeorg serbia just wanted to rule over all slavs....and austria was against this idea of nationalism...no reason to kill our prince...but as the english historian john keegan wrote, serbia was a barbarian and undeveloped country (and after the 1990ies there it no daubt that it still is)
@holesandt1 Can you tell me something about WW2 and German crimes, and about holacaust, and about Hitler who was Austrian...and after that you can tell me about Serbs and their crimes...after Croatian crimes in Jasenovac you can tell me something about barbarian and undeveloped country. Serbia was free country before Hungarians, for example...if you know history you would be able to know this fact...
@paterike you need to study your history a little bit. Start with the Spanish inquisition the holocaust of the Native Americans and disenfranchisement and starvation of the Irish
@paterike Great, you started the 30 years war; thus, assured that all germans would be fragmented until Bismark. Hapsbergs with Spanish gold slattered germans for thirty years. They really never recovered. Today more people speak Portuguese than German. Martin Luther and the Hapsbergs were like putting two cats in a bag, and drowning them.
@zimmetstaern Was lernt ihr den in der Schweiz über die Kriegsschuld vom WW1? Durch Hitler lernen wir hier in Deutschland nur dieses britische Geschwätz von John Röhl der sagt Deutschland wars und nur Deutschland, wer auch anders als die verrückten Deutschen. Aber die Julikriese ist ja um einiges komplexer, lernt ihr es besser, oder wie jetzt? Oder auch das wir Deutsche und Örterr. allein dran Schuld waren. Also Frankreich wollte um jeden Preis das Elsaß zurück! Mal sehen was ihr Neutralen sagt!
Now to reply to you dear Goran -- firstly, who were Karadjordjevic in the 17th century >? Did they read or write then?
My ancestors knew your Royal Family before WWI and were highly respected by them, and I personally know HRH Prince Alexander now. Yet, even the Serbian historians now admit that the Sarajevo assassination was planned in Belgrade. King Peter I made sure to eliminate all the members of the group formed around Apis to erase the proofs of this.
say what you want about these royals but during the 1000 years they ran things there wasn't any holocosts, no genosides. this is the family who hired peoples like mozart and other artists
no my friend if you check the internet you will see that the head of serbian intelligence was the one behind assasination of franz ferdinand was a leader of black hand terrorist group. killed because they wanted to force boznia & hertzogevia to become part of serbia against their will- but i know serbia teaches this differently then the rest of the world
I know the background and I didn't mean he was solely responsible, just given your appreciation of his family its quite ironic that it was him who at least formally started all that mess.
I assure you, there were genocides and there were holocausts, maybe not on the scale of what you had in the 20th century, but that's just progress - we're finding ever better ways of killing ourselves. Also we're finding better ways to put an end to that process, and going back to monarchical way of running things is not a step forward.
And by the way, Mozart was struggling all his life to make ends meet and that's also why he died and while this family could prevent it, they didn't!
@danich45 I think you're wrong saying "during 1000 years" because in 16th century the Holy Roman Empire was ruled by Charles V (King of Spain). During Charles' reign were the conquerors of America, like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro. They killed many indigens and it was a genocide.
@danich45 I am sure that the monarchies of Europe had their shortcomings and faults, but simply turning them upside down and creating a vacuum was not the solution either. The First World War aptly has been described as the event by which Europe agreed to commit suicide.
@danich45 Go to IMDB.COM; look up NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA, and read the post that I, HijodelCid, wrote regarding the SCHIZOPHRENIC 20th CENTURY. In it I ask why was the 20th century such an atrocity, and someone gives an answer that I think is worth reflecting upon.
Ich würd nicht sagen, dass er der Allerschlechteste war.... Aber auf jeden Fall nah dran. Nur werden das unsere monarchistischen Freunde hier wohl nicht einsehen ;-)
Hab aber eigl. nix gegen die Habsburger. Ganz im gegenteil. Das Österreich von damals is sehr beeindruckend. So viele Völker, Sprachen Kulturen in einem Land, das soll auch die Zukunft Europas werden. Maria-Theresia, Franz I waren Topplitiker. Bin auch ein gr. Fan vom Otto!
Ich stimm dir vollkommen zu, was den Vielvölkerstaat betrifft. Dieser kulturelle Reichtum hatte sicher ein riesen Potential... Das Problem mit Monarchien ist halt, dass viel zu viel von einer einzigen Person abhängt. Wenn die ihre Sache gut macht - wunderbar! Aber ein Alleinherrscher kann eben auch viel kaputtmachen, siehe Franz Josef... Daher bin ich ganz froh, dass wir in einer Demokratie leben - in manchen Bereichen kann man sich natürlich trotzdem die Monarchie zum Vorbild nehmen.
Naja ich muss sagen der beste Kaiser war er nicht aber trotzdem war er ein guter Kerl;
Er hat sich ja auch viel zu viel von den Deutschen drängen lassen. Die wollten ja unbedingt Krieg gegen die Franzosen.
Fakt ist, dass die Ausrüstung der k.u.k Armee damals veraltet war.
Und es ist schade, dass wir kein Vielvölkerstraat mehr sind. Man muss bedenken wie viel einfluss Österreich dann hätte. (aber hätt i, wär i, dät i ...)
Wie gesagt, um den Vielvölkerstaat tuts mir auch leid, mir wird ganz anders, wenn an diese Kleingeistigkeit heute denke (Bin Kärntner, siehe Ortstafeln....)
Das der Franz Josef ein netter Kerl was will ich gern glauben, aber ein netter Kerl und ein braver Beamter zu sein ist irgendwie zu wenig, wenn man Kaiser einer mehr- oder- weniger- Großmacht ist
@Zeobit stimmt. pflichtbewusstsein bzw. -erfüllung reicht beleibe nicht aus!
wenn es jemand in der hand hatte die politische situation des vielvölkerstaates abzusichern, dann zweifelsohne franz joseph. einen umbau zum föderalen staatenbund hätte der alte, großteils geachtete, franz joseph wesentlich leichter umsetzen können als sein sohn rudolf oder sein neffe franz ferdinand.
was franz joseph fehlte war die weissicht mit der sein sohn bzw. sein neffe offenbar gesegnet waren.
Nationalism all over the multinational Empire was the power which destroyed it finally. Let that be a memorial against bigotry and small-mindedness!!!
Franz Joseph made a two mistakes..he did not crown himself a king of Bohemia even though people demanded it.. and he did not granted Bohemian crown lands its statehood rights..thats why czechs broke away from the monarchy
es lamentable que el mundo se diera cuanta tantos anios despues de todo lo que representaba la monarquia dual de Austria-Hungria y como michas cosas eran resueltas en ella. Tal vez muchas tragedias posteriores se habrian evitado si no hubiera sido destruida, y la vida de muchos salvada. Gott Erhalte, Gott Beschuetze, Unser Kaiser Unser Land
IMHO: The last emperor of the S.R.I.N.G. was Franz, who "abdicated" in 1806 following the War of the Third Coalition 1805 and ensuing pressure from Napoleon.
if your would know the idea, the sense of the S.R.I.N.G., your would know, the it can't be ended by the emperor himself and alone. it's a union between throne and altar! the popes never accepted!
You hit the mark citing idea. It was in/at the end merely an idea, a concept bordering mythology. A regulatory tool with in its late life weak moral authority pertaining to practical policy. As it was erected by a sovereign it could be dissolved by one even if in non-compliance with statutory requirements. What do you mean the popes never accepted? They were in conflict with the Reich from the outset be it owing to the aspirations of sacrality or otherwise.
It´s really Zita and Otto, but not his son. Karl was a nephew, Franz Joseph´s son was called Rudolf and commited suicide in 1889. Rudolf was married with Stephanie, princess of belgium. They onlyhab a daughter called Elisabeth. So one of his nephews (Karl) became the next empror.

@TruthNotMedia You complete fool. In the civilised world, black is a colour of mourning, and veils were traditionally worn by women at times of mourning. While black is still worn, the style of attire has moved with the times and veils are no longer worn. It is not Islamic attire; your nonsense religion has nothing to do with it.

@TruthNotMedia Evidently It is not a islamic dress but a mourning one, used only for funerals and it is not required by christian doctrine. Women wore never that way in dayly life, not even in the Middle Ages, and even for funerals they wore that way only during ceremonies. And regards mens, they wore a black ribbon on the arm. This women's suit was used only for the funeral, then they wore in black a few months, meanwhile the ribbon men's was required for several month.

European royalties dressed in "modesty" and lived up to high moral standards, nudity was not tolerated and the way artists depicted most of them was untrue. Most European dignified ladies covered their faces, imitating the highest modesty habit, Islamic rules.

Again to Goran -- what did the Serbs achieve by this murder? They were involved in a war from which they suffered so much, and then the Allies "rewarded" them after a similarly bad diplomatic issue which brought yet another pest to you -- communism -- by agreeing to accept Tito and not to support the King's Government. So Karadjordjevic are so unimportant in the view of the dynasty which ruled since Charlemagne and who are still, if not Emperors, more present and respected in Europe.

God I could never have expected that y little comment would spark such a debate. It only shows how the House of Habsburg still exists within history. Moreover, Archduke Otto von Habsburg, the Heir to the Throne, was elected to be a lifelong president of the European Parliament since he was amongst those who initiated the idea of European integration. He was also supportive of the Jews during WW2, and prosecuted by the Nazis.

In conservative regions, at funerals it is still common to wear a "black veil".
In German we call it "Trauerschleier", (veil of sadness)
It is a symbol of sadness worn by the daughters/wife/mother. maybe it's purpose is also to hide the crying and to relief them from communication

Der Trauerschleier hat keinen hohen Rang, ist einfach Tradition. Am Land gab es bis in die 80er Frauen, die beim Arbeiten einen Schleier tragen, damit die Haare nicht dreckig werden. Mir ist der Schleier wurscht. Diese Steinzeit-Islamisten wie "the truth" finde ich aber schrecklich. Der islamische Schleier wird halt als politisches Statement begriffen.

If Austria-Hungary had at least a respectable military, WW1 might have been an entirely different story. Early A/H success could have ended WW1 in less than 2 years with them victorious. As a BBC documentary says Germany was "Shackled to a Corpse". Not taking sides here, but I always wonder why A/H was eager to fight a larger war they were so unprepared to do?

es lamentable que el mundo se diera cuanta tantos anios despues de todo lo que representaba la monarquia dual de Austria-Hungria y como michas cosas eran resueltas en ella. Tal vez muchas tragedias posteriores se habrian evitado si no hubiera sido destruida, y la vida de muchos salvada. Gott Erhalte, Gott Beschuetze, Unser Kaiser Unser Land

IMHO: The last emperor of the S.R.I.N.G. was Franz, who "abdicated" in 1806 following the War of the Third Coalition 1805 and ensuing pressure from Napoleon.

if your would know the idea, the sense of the S.R.I.N.G., your would know, the it can't be ended by the emperor himself and alone. it's a union between throne and altar! the popes never accepted!

You hit the mark citing idea. It was in/at the end merely an idea, a concept bordering mythology. A regulatory tool with in its late life weak moral authority pertaining to practical policy. As it was erected by a sovereign it could be dissolved by one even if in non-compliance with statutory requirements. What do you mean the popes never accepted? They were in conflict with the Reich from the outset be it owing to the aspirations of sacrality or otherwise.

The Holy Roman Empire did not survive the Napoleonic Wars, so Karl I was the Last Emperor of the Austro Hungariam Empire

Empress Zita, Otto and son Karl (Franz-Joseph's successor)

It´s really Zita and Otto, but not his son. Karl was a nephew, Franz Joseph´s son was called Rudolf and commited suicide in 1889. Rudolf was married with Stephanie, princess of belgium. They onlyhab a daughter called Elisabeth. So one of his nephews (Karl) became the next empror.
