Stéphane Bern recounts the tragic fate of Emperor Maximilian and his wife, Charlotte of Belgium, two sovereigns from the great noble families of Europe who were designated to occupy the throne of Mexico. They find themselves, in spite of themselves, actors in a drama that is beyond their control, caught between the ambitions of France, led by Napoleon III, the inflexible attitude of the Emperor of Austria Francis Joseph and the expansionist aims of the United States. Following in the footsteps of Charlotte and Maximilian means traveling from Brussels to Milan and from Vienna to Paris before crossing the Atlantic to reach Mexico, the country where Maximilian will die in 1867. ????Find Secrets d'histoire: thousands of videos on our platform: https://www.secretsdhistoire.tv/ on our store: https://laboutiquesecretsdhistoire.tv/ on Facebook: / secretsdhistoire on X: / secretshistoire on Instagram: / secretsdhistoire
