| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Joseph II |
| | Joseph viewed with jealous discontent the intellectual superiority of the Protestant North of Germany, then first dominant over the Catholic South: he also reflected with chafing impatience on Frederick's victories and talent for government, and thence conceived a definite aim in life. | | | After a reign of ten years and fully aware of his failure, he ended his unhappy and lonely existence (20 February, 1790), leaving even the monarchy itself in peril. | | | Twice he met Frederick the Great, and in 1780 Catherine II of Russia. |

| | Franz Joseph, however, fell in love at first sight with fifteen-year-old Sisi instead, and two days later (on August 18, his 23rd birthday) had his mother ask if Elisabeth would marry him. | | | Franz Joseph was deeply devoted to his mother, and only rarely supported his wife against her. | | | She did insist that the children accompany her and Franz Joseph on a state visit to Hungary in 1857, during which they became ill and little Sophie died--a misfortune which became used as proof that the young Empress was unfit to be a mother. |

| | In Honor of Franz Joseph by Carlo Stagnaro |
| | Basically, the Habsburg Empire was a multi-national, largely pre-state Empire, while what the former Trotskyites who are running the federal government aim at creating is one global, stars-and-stripes state. | | | As Joseph Roth points out in his masterpiece, The Emperor’s Tomb, "The so called extraordinary is obvious for Austria-Hungary. | | | Significantly enough, Franz Joseph was always opposed to the anti-semitic movement of Karl Lueger, the Christian-Socials: "any anti-semitic movement should be halted at its birth." He repeatedly vetoed Lueger’s election as Mayor of Vienna, showing how the "absolute" power of the Emperor was less absolute, and far less dangerous than the power of democratic bodies. |

| | The Russians did not protect Serbia by going to war, and the war ended tsarist Russia and the tsar and his family. | | | And Wilhelm, along with his military chiefs, overreacted to Russia mobilizing its armies: it declared war and went on the offensive against Russia and its ally France, who were on their way to making war on Germany. | | | Instead of saving Serbia - which did well militarily against Austria-Hungary at the beginning of the war - the war was a disaster. |
