The Eternal Emperor - The True Story of Franz Joseph I

Sisi and Franz Joseph: the Austrian royal dream couple inspires audiences to this day. The romantic story of the two young lovers obscures the view of a ruler who steered the fate of the Habsburg Empire for 68 years - often with an iron hand. His fatal misjudgments directly led the imperial and royal monarchy towards its downfall. Ultimately, it is HIS signature that triggered the onset of the First World War. Who was Franz Joseph I?
