Emperor Franz Josef I

Francesco Giuseppe I d'Austria-Ungheria (Schönbrunn (Vienna) 18 agosto 1830 - 21 novembre 1916) Imperatore d'Austria (1848-1916) e Re d'Ungheria (1867-1916). Apparteneva alla casa d'Asburgo.

Emperor Franz Josef I reigned as Austro-Hungarian monarch from 1848 until his death in 1916, by which time the Austro-Hungarian empire was fast crumbling.
Indeed by the time of his passing he knew that Austria-Hungary's fate was almost certainly doomed. With the war lost two years later - with Karl I as Emperor - the empire rapidly dissolved.
