    Fun fact:
    Wilhelm ll. was a very fast eater because in his soldier's mind meals were only (meaning primarily) for ingestion and not to be enjoyed. He therefore had a fork where one side was sharpened like a knife so he could eat even faster. Unfortunately for the others at the table the meal was over when the Kaiser was finished so you had to eat as fast as him or end up hungry.

      Funny how Franz Joseph - who also was very military minded - did the exact opposite. He ate especially slowly because he knew that the course was ended after he finished and he wanted the other guests to be able to eat properly.

      This is a scene from the movie "Die Deutschmeister (1955)". It is not historically acurate and the storieline is very dull and dumb. Stanzi (Constance) a young girl from a bakery shop has fallen in love with a young fellow who is member of the Deutschmeister. This is a military corps playing military marshing tunes for the Kaisers army. And this young Deutschmeister has composed a new piece of military music which should be played by the Deutschmeister corps. He already asked his corporal but he had refused him. So Stanzi, his girlfriend, comes up with the idea of putting the letter and the composition in the "Hörnchen" of the Kaiser because she knew the Hörnchen will be eaten by the Kaiser because her aunt is purveyor to the court. She could not know that Wilhelm II instead of Franz Josef would get the Hörnchen. But this is the scene you can watch here.
      Stanzi by the way was played by Romy Schneider and the aunt by her mother Magda Schneider, who was Hitlers favourite actress. Romy made her first Sissy-movie the same year.

      Serbian government itself was not behind the assassination! A secret organisation was, they even tried to assassinate Prince Aleksander a few times. .
      Thats why Prince Aleksander of Serbia gave into almost every demand to avoid a war both trade, economic, compensation!
      But Austria-Hungary already made up there mind to invade Serbia, knowing Serbia will refuse 2 demands which gives away sovereignty!
      Basically they wanted to occupy Serbia with or without a war stationing troops inside the country and seizing alot of military equipment, Serbia had no choice but war!

    Those who loved this film extract would equally love the Sissi trilogy about the courtship and marriage of Elisabeth and Franz Joseph. Romy Schneider, who was only eighteen when the first film was made is absolutely enchanting and beautiful and Karlheinz Böhm who plays Franz Joseph makes him human and shows his deep love for Elisabeth. The actress who plays Franz Joseph's domineering mother, the Archduchess Sophie is very good. The trilogy ends in1867, and takes considerable liberties with history but is beautifully shot in rich colour with lavish production values. For films over sixty years old they are still very enjoyable and capture something of the love between Elisabeth and Franz Joseph before the failure of the marriage and the tragedies that overtook them.

The Hohenzollern dynasty had another anthem, which, hohoho, had the same melody as the English still use for their anthem. The Federal Republic of Germany used the Haydn anthem. It was introduced after WWI. The communist GDR of East Germany used a completely new anthem and Austria didn’t want to have anything to do with the old Haydn melody.

      The Austrians used to have a great Empire similar to the Koreans, now the Austrians and Koreans have been brought down to a Rump State. The Austrians considered themselves Germans for a long time and were overshadowed by their German Brothers, The Koreans once considered Chinese were always overshadowed by the Chinese, and now the Koreans don't consider themselves Chinese and the Austrians don't consider themselves Germans. Its more of a like, "We are in the same situation as the Austrians, the were so cool.". On another Note, Austria will likely loose independence in the Next Global Conflict, World War 3 if you will, the Austrians will see this conflict as a need to loose Neutrality, and Will give up independence and Submit to their German heritage they threw away and took for granted.

      Looks amazing, but half those people probably left the table hungry. Royal protocol was that no one started eating before the sovereign (in this case Franz Joseph), and everyone had to stop eating once the sovereign stopped. Plus, he was the first one served. Franz Joseph was known for being a fast eater. Even state banquets rarely lasted longer than 20 minutes. If you were at the end of the table (last one served) you probably had one, maybe two, bites before your plate was whisked away. The other aspect of royal meals at that time was food would often arrive cold, as it was such a long way from the kitchen to the grand dining rooms.

Her decision to swap state visits with Napoleon III after he became Emperor in the 1850s nearly caused uproar in Britain, but in the end it proved a very wise move (she also apparently joked that her grandfather George III would be FURIOUS with her, meeting with a Bonaparte).

Wilhelm had a terrible personality and when he visited England everybody delighted in trolling him by making pointed glances at his short arm, offering their left hands to shake (which would have forced Willy to reciprocate with his crippled left, which he couldn't). By the end of his visit, Wilhelm was so humiliated and embarrassed that he really went off back home about toppling the British Empire. No, the troll dissing didn't cause the War, but Wilhelm was so unstable mentally that he just couldn't properly handle the power he'd been handed.
