Mexican Empire - The History of Maximilian and Carlota of Mexico

Autor: H. Hyde

Número de Páginas: 388

Maximilian I of Mexico and his consort Charlotte of Belgium, known as Carlota were the only rulers of the second Mexican Empire. Installed by Napoleon III and a small group of Mexican Monarchists, the rule was short lived and even though Maximilian had a genuine love for Mexico and it's people and brought around liberal reforms the people of Mexico had no wish to be ruled by a foreign power and revolted. This is the fascinating story of his three year reign from documents and first hand accounts. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The Last Emperor of Mexico

Autor: Edward Shawcross

Número de Páginas: 262

Mexico, 19th June 1867. Dressed in black and carrying a crucifix, a tall blonde bearded man steps out of his carriage. As he turns to face the firing squad, his last words ring out under the cloudless sky: 'Long live Mexico, long live independence.'The execution of Ferdinand Maximilian is the climax of one of the most extraordinary stories in history. This young Austrian archduke was born into Europe's most illustrious royal family, second in line to the Habsburg throne. Why did he die as the Emperor of Mexico, leaving his wife to descend into madness in a Belgian castle? The answer is a tale of operatic proportions, sweeping across continents from the 1848 European revolutions to the civil wars in Mexico and the USA, pitting Old World against New, conservatives against radicals, monarchies against republics. Harbouring ambitions of a Latin American empire to halt American expansionism, Napoleon III of France installed these puppets to rule over a country riven by internal factions - with tragic consequences.Marshalling an incredible range of sources to bring to life a cast of stranger-than-fiction characters, Edward Shawcross' The Last Emperor of Mexico is historical storytelling ...

Maximilian and Carlota

Autor: M. M. Mcallen

Número de Páginas: 552

In this new telling of Mexico’s Second Empire and Louis Napoléon’s installation of Maximilian von Habsburg and his wife, Carlota of Belgium, as the emperor and empress of Mexico, Maximilian and Carlota brings the dramatic, interesting, and tragic time of this six-year-siege to life. From 1861 to 1866, the French incorporated the armies of Austria, Belgium—including forces from Crimea to Egypt—to fight and subdue the regime of Mexico’s Benito Juárez during the time of the U.S. Civil War. France viewed this as a chance to seize Mexican territory in a moment they were convinced the Confederacy would prevail and take over Mexico. With both sides distracted in the U.S., this was their opportunity to seize territory in North America. In 1867, with aid from the United States, this movement came to a disastrous end both for the royals and for France while ushering in a new era for Mexico. In a bid to oust Juárez, Mexican conservatives appealed to European leaders to select a monarch to run their country. Maximilian and Carlota’s reign, from 1864 to 1867, was marked from the start by extravagance and ambition and ended with the execution of Maximilian by firing squad, with...

A remarkable experience of little reported events The Second Empire of France was, by the early 1860's in good health. France had acquitted itself well in the Crimea and in the war against Austria. The idea of a European monarch on the throne of Mexico was not a new one. France was attracted to the idea of a 'Latin' influence in America and thus the opening chords were struck of what would eventually be-to quote the author-'A Dance of Doom', the steps of which would lead the Archduke Maximilian to a stark wall there to be riddled with bullets from a Mexican firing squad. The author of this account-a young American woman living in Paris-was swept up in these extraordinary events and found herself in Mexico amongst its most influential figures. This is her essential and riveting story of turmoil and rebellion.

Número de Páginas: 364

Description: "'Mexico under Maximilian', by J. J. Kendall, late Captain H.M. 44th and 6th Regiments, and subsequently in the service of his late Majesty the Emperor of Mexico, is an interesting chapter of the history of Mexico under the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian, related by an eye-witness, and one who personally shared in the many dangers and horrors of the time. Captain Kendall writes graphically, and the story he tells loses none of its thrilling interest in his manner of telling it. The incidents are all of them attractive, and are described naturally and with no attempt at exaggeration." * * * * * The reviews: "The author has taken great pains to obtain authentic information, and as to the interest of the book there can be no doubt." —Morning Post "The author is a close observer of men and manners, and is every inch a traveller and a soldier. His book is most interesting." —Inverness Advertiser. "Much useful and interesting information is contained in this volume. Its perusal cannot be attended with other than a feeling of pleasure." —Court Circular. "A very readable and amusing book.

Recollections of Mexico

Autor: Samuel Basch

Número de Páginas: 320

iThe events described herein are intended to be a new public contributionto the history of the Mexican Empire. I have seen and experienced these events during the most memorable months of my life./i With these words, an unlikely individual began to pen a valuable historical memoir. What started as a volunteer mission to Mexico quickly thrust obscure Samuel Basch, Austrian medical doctor, into the role of confidant and personal physician to Maximilian, Emperor of the short-lived Mexican empire. Keenly aware of the magnitude of the drama surrounding him and his position as an insider, Basch kept daily notes and astutely observed the court intrigues and other events of his days with the Emperor. This carefully gathered information was then crafted into a compelling firsthand overview of the last months of Maximilian, who was persuaded in 1864 to take the throne as part of Napoleon III's scheme to establish an empire in Mexico.P iRecollections of Mexico The Last Ten Months of Maximilian's Empirei offers scholars a rare authoritative source on this little-known, yet important, period in Mexican history. Written in 1868, this book has been masterfully translated word for word from the...

Maximilian's Lieutenant

Autor: Ernst Pitner

Número de Páginas: 228

"In 1864, the Austrian archduke Maximilian was induced by Napoleon III to become Emperor of Mexico in furtherance of Napoleon's ambition to establish an empire in the western hemisphere favourable to French interests. Although ending in a Mexican victory, the campaign remains one of the most traumatic episodes in Mexico's history, and on both sides the costs were enormous. Maximilian was executed and the event came as a profound shock to European opinion." "This book brings together the letters and excerpts from the Mexican diary of Lieutenant Ernst Pitner, a junior officer in Maximilian's volunteer corps. Pitner was one of the few European officers with Maximilian when he was captured, and he remained with him during his last days. Until a few years ago, Pitner's writings lay undiscovered in a cache of family papers in Vienna. Published for the first time, they represent a unique firsthand account of the campaign as it was fought and of life in Mexico from the point of view of an Austrian soldier. Pitner writes vivid descriptions of his journeys, his companions, the local peoples, and individual battles. He expresses the loneliness and tedium of nineteenth-century warfare on...
