Fritz Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 100 years ago on 21. November 2016 Kaiser Franz Joseph I passed away. He had been gradually getting weaker and his undiminishing dilligence and devotion to duty had aged him. (1832-1916) His son, Crown Prince Rudolf had committed suicide in 1889, the Empress Elisabeth was assassinated by an Italian anarchist at Lake Geneva on 10.September 1898. The next heir to the throne, his nephew, Archduke Franz Ferdinand had been assassinated in Sarajevo on 28. June 1914, sparking off the Great War. His next successor was Emperor Karl, who was only to reign for two more years till the end of the monarchy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
