eight years, removes the direct cause of the world-wide
war. because of an affront to his dynasty, the surviving
monarch of feudalism had no hesitation in offering his
country and liis countrymen as a sacrifice to wounded
pride.
Aside from tho great war. Francis Joseph's reign, was
one of the most eventful in history, lie saw the Frencli
monarchy go down, 't lie second empire rise and crumble,
flic commune flare briefly, and the republic of today rise;
on its ashes; he saw the black pinions of the Prussian eagle
stamped on the flag of the new Herman empire later to
tower threateningly over Austria itself; he saw the papacy
shorn of its territorial demesne, while about a blickering
family of petty principalities was wielded into united
Italy; he saw Spain, once the greatest of colonial powers,
lose the last of her dependencies in two oceans; he saw
Japan opened to western civilization, and later defeat the
sprawling colossus of two continents; he saw the most ab
solute despotisms Russia. Turkey and Persia concede
representation to the people: he saw at a distance; the
United States cement its federation -with the blood of a
great internecine war, and he saw his own brother prove
that monarchy could not take new root on American soil.
In his own country he faced internal dissensions and
exh'rual aggressions from the moment he came to Ihe
throne, liy the war of 1S."9 with France and Sardinia, he
was forced to cede l.oinbardy to Italy; by force of arms
and treaty he lost the duchy of llolstein to Prussia and
Venice to Italy; and by the revolt of Kossuth, the Hungar
ian patriot, he barely escaped having his dual empire cut
in two.
lint in human interest his personal sorrows overshad
owed all. One after another they came upon him. In 185:!
the list of tragic incidents began with an attempt upon his
own life. In 1807 his brother, the Archduke Maximilian,
after three years' experiment as emperor of .Mexico, was
captured by the army of the patriots and condemned to
death by a court martial, whose sentence was executed
notwithstanding intercession in his behalf by the govern
ments of the United States,' England and Prussia.
There followed the burning to death of a niece in
Vienna; a sister' met similar fate in Paris, and a cousin
drowned himself in Stahrenherg lake. Yet these were but
minor tragedies in comparison with that which befell th?
ancient house of the llapsburgs in 188!), when Rudolf, the
imperial prince, upon whom the Austrians pinned their
hopes, met death in a mystery which to this day is not
cleared. :
Clouded in still deeper mystery, if possible, was the
disappearance that same year of Francis Joseph's favor
ite 3iephw, the Archduke Johann Salvator. Heir to the
throne at the death of .Rudolf, he renounced all his imperial
dignities and fled the country as John Ortli, captain of a
merchant ship, never to be heard of again. The next of
kin, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, who became heir
presumptive, added a further burden to his uncle's heart
by morganatic marriage to Sophie, the countess of Chotek.
It Wiis he and his wife who were assassinated at Sarajevo
in .June, 1!) It.
lint it is doubtful if any or all of these reverses weighed
more heavily upon the emperor's heart than the tragedy at
(leneva, when the Empress Elizabeth, who had been called
the most beautiful woman in Europe, was stabbed to death
by an Italian anarchist, in 1898.
(iossip dealt plentifully with his private life, filled with
romance and nnstortune. As a soldier, tlie emperor was
beloved of his arinv. In a crushing reverse by the Frcn
at Solferiiio, he suffered such humiliation that he is said
to have wished to die with his men; that he stood motion
less in the fire of a battery, hoping to be struck down. Ih't
none of his reverses made hint any the less popular ,tl
home.
His popularity reached beyond the army. He was
truly the idol of his people, and especially at Vienna. His
tall, gaunt figure was familiar to (-very Viennese. 11c
rode through the streets unguarded, bowing to toe saluta
tions of his loving people, lie was imperial,
