Karl's problem was that the empire he was trying to preserve was not worth preserving. It was like he was attempting to repair and reassemble a creaky medieval antique. He wasn't just incapable of preserving the Habsburg Empire. The imperial junkheap simply was overdue its euthanasia. Note: Pope John Paul's father was an officer in the Austro-Hungarian Army. Karl's romantic Catholicism and naive attachment to a sugary past appealed to his namesake (could the Pope's civilian name, Karol, be inspired by the former emperor?). Another weird political irony of the times was that the Hapsburgs were more respected in the distant regions like Southern Poland than among ethnic Austrian Germans in Lower Austria and Bohemia. Many of them resented the Crown for granting concessions to other nationalities. This was the stimmering political cauldron that shaped disgruntled Austrian Germans like a young Adolf Hitler.

Karl was a great leader, a Prince of peace, who wanted to save the world from a year of war; a statesman with ideas to save his people from the complicated problems of his Empire; a King who loved his people, a fearless man, a noble soul, distinguished, a saint from whose grave blessings come. - Herbert Vivian This war without end is criminal. What is abominable is that they do not want to end it. No, they do not want. Do not try to tell me that there was no way to end it. Emperor Charles offered peace; he is the only decent man to have appeared in this war, and he was not listened to. There was, through him, a chance that could have been seized... Clemenceau called the emperor a "rotten conscience," it's ignoble. Emperor Charles sincerely wanted peace, and therefore was despised by the whole world. A king of France, yes a king, would have had pity on our poor, exhausted, bloodlet nation. However democracy is without a heart and without entrails. When serving the powers of money, it is pitiless and inhuman. - Anatole France He tried to compensate for the evaporation of the ethical power which emperor Franz Joseph had represented by offering völkisch reconciliation. Even as he dealt with elements who were sworn to the goal of destroying his empire he believed that his acts of political grace would affect their conscience. These attempts were totally futile; those people had long ago lined up with our common enemies, and were far from being deterred. - Paul von Hindenburg

At least you did not claim the Jews were working with the Freemasons, the "Protocols of Zion" have long been proved to have been an Imperial Russian forgery.

As a Hungarian, it would be cool to see some videos connected to him, like about his son Otto, who is thought of here as "the last royal Habsburg", or Horthy, he did a lot in the first half of the 20th century, and funnily enough during WW2 he was rear-admiral of the non-existent navy of Hungary, a landlocked country

Would you consider doing a series of videos on the Three Kingdoms period in China? You know the people like Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan? I am an avid history lover however this period in China and in all history is my favourite for how complex it all was and how much tragedy, happiness etc happened, thanks anyway 👍
Fun fact: there's good evidence to suggest that Karol Woytila (John Paul II) was named after Emperor Karl.

You should do videos on people in Irish history such as Micheal Collins or Éamon de Valera

Could it be that AH was already a dying empire when Karl inherited the throne?

Thanks to this channel for making 19th Century history one of my favourite time periods of history (I know this video only has some mentions of this century).
