1: The Habsburg Monarchy

In parts one and two of 'Anatomy of Austria-Hungary'(Anatomy of the Emperor's Throne), we provide an overarching 'history of events' before delving into the regional histories of the composite lands that compromised the 'Kaisertum' (Austria/Austria-Hungary), in a manner inspired by Fernand Braudel's Identity of France.

In this episode, we discuss the long history of the possessions of the Imperial House of Habsburg; from their ascension as Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire until the early reign of Franz Joseph I and the battle of Koniggratz (1452-1866).
