Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Life Stories for Young People: Maximilian in Mexico The life story of Maximilian First in Mexico is one of the saddest of tragedies. Admitting that he was in some respects a weak sovereign and incompetent for the task he undertook, the tragedy is none the less sad. The dreadful fate which overtook the Empress Carlotta only adds to the gloom of the situation, and, if all reports are true, serves to emphasize Mexican cruelty and treachery, for in official circles it is generally believed she was made insane by a poisonous herb secretly mixed with her drink. Maximilian himself was a gentleman in the best sense of the term, gentle, courteous, refined, and scholarly; unfitted for the position he held, inexperienced in political matters, and ignorant how to contend with guile and treachery of the basest kind. He was virtually forced to ascend the Mexican throne, and consented only when, he was assured that the Mexican people had enthusing astically elected him. Once there, he found himself Co the victim of treacherous plots and deadly hatred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
