Chapter 486: Her Royal Highness the Princess Who Is Not Worthy of the Name!!

“The Habsburgs?”

Li Mingxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Sophia say this.

Now many people regard the Rothschild family as a myth in the financial world, and even some people believe that it is this family that controls everything on the planet.

Of course, this statement is exaggerated, but the glory of the Rothschild family is indeed not small.

After all, since making their fortune in the 19th century, the Rothschilds have always been around the world’s leading capitalist countries, and they have profiteered from the division of Germany, from the Franco-Prussian War to World War I.

In fact, in European history, there is one family that has definitely prospered more prosperous than the Rothschilds, and that is the Habsburgs.

This family is more direct, their business does not need to be placed in the dark, it can be done directly on the table, because they want to serve as the monarchs of the European states.

According to statistics, a member of the Habsburg family, who served as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (First German Empire), emperor of Austria, king of Hungary, king of Bohemia (Czech), king of Castile, king of Spain, king of Portugal, emperor of Mexico, various dukes of Italy.

Counting it this way, the Habsburgs, at least served as monarchs in the 9 major duchies, kingdoms or empires.

If you open the genealogy of European royal families, you will find an interesting thing, that is, most of these royal families are related by marriage, not five hundred years ago.

It can be a family now.

Once the Habsburgs relied on marriage to rule most of Europe.

At first, the Habsburgs set their sights on the Holy Roman Emperor.

This emperor is also an outlier among all emperors.

He was actually elected.

This is definitely good news for the Habsburgs, whose family has no other means but to have a good relationship with others, so many people choose them.

They also finally got the first throne.

Later, the Habsburgs did the same, occupying the Netherlands and Spain.

Many people laugh at them and think they eat soft rice.

But the Habsburgs didn’t care, because the soft rice was really fragrant.

Later, this family joined forces with several other families to defeat the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

In fact, the Habsburgs could not defeat the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

But there are many families, Spain, the Netherlands have come to mix a kick, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not expect that there were so many people behind the Habsburgs, and even missed.

In the end, the Ottoman Turkish Empire lost all its elite navy in that great war.

However, such a favorite, the family that once ruled half of the state of Oshadia eventually declined in modern times.

Speaking of why the Habsburgs fell, we have to mention a concept, called the maximum population capacity of the land.

The concept is that a square meter of land can only have so many people, and if the population density is too large, it will lead to a decrease in the quality of life of the population.

The land is like that, and so are the people.

A person’s energy is limited, he can only do so many things in a lifetime, and it is impossible to learn literature and martial arts, dance and practice swords.

This kind of behavior is overdrawing life.

The Habsburgs also made the mistake of ruling over a territory so large that they often couldn’t look after each other.

In the process of expansion, the family also offended many people, Sweden, Turkey, Gaul, these countries were enemies of the Habsburgs.

Although these countries alone do not seem terrible, their combined strength is very strong.

And much of the Habsburg rule was carried out by marriage.

The alliance maintained by marriage is not stable.

Over time, the kings of those countries were not willing to submit only to the interests of the Habsburgs.

In addition, within the family, there was also a lot of trouble over the issue of inheritance, and the Habsburg throne flowed between different countries.

Many countries had inheritance rights, which led to the Habsburg royal marriage.

Another point is that the long-term marriage of close relatives has also laid a heavy foreshadowing for the decline of the family.

The current members of the Habsburg dynasty are all Maria. The descendants of Queen Teresa and Emperor Franz belong to the Habsburg-Lorraine line, and are also the only remaining branch of the Habsburg family…

That is, the group that founded Austria-Hungary during World War I and is famous for his frugality (husband of Princess Sisi).

When Emperor Franz died in 1916, the heir to the throne was Emperor Karl, but Emperor Karl was bent on believing that the First World War was wrong and tried to end it.

However, the results could not prevent the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

And Sophia’s grandfather was Prince Otto, the eldest son of Emperor Karl.

Unfortunately, after the war, Austria and Hungary no longer served as princes of Otto.

After the annexation of Austria in World War II, Mustache intended to restore Crown Prince Otto to his pre-World War I status in order to stabilize the political situation.

However, Crown Prince Otto refused.

This directly angered the mustache and ordered the capture of Prince Otto and the confiscation of the Habsburg family property.

There is no way, Prince Otto can only go into exile with the beautiful country.

With the end of World War II, he was able to return to Austria.

And Sophia is the daughter of the second son of Crown Prince Otto.

Her full name is Sofia von Habsburg, and according to the previous title system, she should be considered the royal duke of Hungary, Bohemian Croatia.

However, with the decline of the Habsburgs, this series of titles is difficult to officially recognize.

Otherwise, Sophia’s bodyguards would have informed the armed forces in Berlin long ago.

Hearing Sophia’s Jiaojun release, Li Ming was silent.

To be honest, he was just an ordinary flower planter before he was reborn, for a family like Habsburg.

It’s just that I never really understand it, but with Sophia’s explanation.

Only then did he understand that the family had been in decline for hundreds of years.

However, a skinny camel is larger than a horse.

Even if the Habsburgs declined, it was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The family still leaves a huge legacy in Europe.

“Sophia, who do you think is going to kill you, or let me put it another way, who is most advantageous after you die!”

Li Mingxuan asked.
