The execution of Emperor Franz Josef's brother Emperor Maximiliano I of Mexico was forgotten... =]

[HabsburgLorraine]

And I left out Italy reclaiming Lombardy-Venetia.

The Habsburgs are really a declining family since the early 19th century.

That is why in old comic maps (around 1880-1910) Austria-Hungary has been drawn the figure of an ill man.

The video is very good, the music fits to it.

@FRAGIORGIO1 we communnist are not welcome in the west thanks to capitialism and one constitutional monarchy in england but i know the hapsburgs were great people. if only austro- hungria was still existing today i would die to protecting them.

@communism100 Remember that northern Europe is mostly Socialist and also constitutional monarchist, so it's not necessarily impossible, since monarchs are not political leaders and are rather non-political heads of state with duties of maintaining contact with the people, national unity, culture, receiving ambassadors, and visiting foreign countries to promote commercial and cultural ties.

@HabsburgLorraine The music was low comedy and not fitting.

@DonMiguel1810 The "republic" in Mexico has not been anything except coups de `etats and caudillismo, until finally the election of 2000. Certainly the 30 years of Diaz brought stability and development to Mexico, and the 60 of the PRI also, but at the price of dictatorship.

i thought the presentation disrespectful to the values that the Habsburg gave to the Empire and the later dual monarchy. There was no analysis. A great grandfather of mine was a colonel loyal to Maximilian of Habsburg-Lorraine and went to prison rather than accept the US-imposed anti-Catholic Juarez. There is no mention of Emperor-King Karl's overtures for peace in WW I which were refused by that pig Clemenceau, who perferred the killing of soldiers and destruction for another year.

@HabsburgLorraine my family served and pledge their loyality the Emperor Maximiliano I of mexico he and now I am loyal to the habsburg, even though i'm a communist and go against capitialism, fascism and monachy, but to the habsburg. all hail the imperial family of Habsburg-Lorriane!

I wonder what Rudolf would have been able to change. Too bad he was a genius with brilliant ideas, but at the same time he wasnt able to deal with women and his affairs. This and his bad relationship to Franz Joseph made him commit suicide. I find this is one of the most tragic figures in the Habsburg family. He was a real modern thinker and didn't support the influence of religion. It's good to live in Vienna, having all this history around me every day :). Makes me crave the good old times! ^^

You forgot the rebellion in Czech Bohemia in Prague
