RE: [Cz-L] Franz Joseph the Kaiser

Hi Yoseph! Kaiser Franz Joseph did not lose the Empire....Kaiser Karl did
that, in spite of trying quite hard to get out of the war: his approaches
were rejected mainly by the Italians who had a Treaty with Austria-Hungary
which they ignored and attacked in 1915 because France and England promised
them Austrian territory. Cornel
