Description
The Fall of the Habsburg Government The end of Habsburg rule is still surrounded by numerous myths, legends, and widespread misconceptions. The year 2018 marks the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Czech Republic and also the end of six hundred and forty years of Habsburg rule. It is certainly an opportunity to address the most important questions and, based on historical facts and previously unpublished sources, to uncover legends, debunk clichés, and view the most significant figures of that time from a new perspective. Clearly distinguishing between myths and truth and shedding light on the end of one of the most powerful dynasties in Europe. Habsburg expert Katrin Unterreiner seeks answers to intriguing questions, documents events, and examines the truth of popular myths and legends. * Was Charles a peaceful emperor? * How did the transfer of Habsburg residences take place? * Who was behind the deposition of the Habsburgs? * Was Habsburg property expropriated? * What really happened to the Habsburg coronation jewels? * Did Charles die in poverty, in a damp, miserable apartment in Madeira? * How did Charles's family live after his death? * What happened to the descendants of Emperor Franz Joseph? * Where and how do the Habsburgs live today?
