Make the Habsburgs Great Again!

A hundred years of imperial glory reduced to dust, a dynastic dream that vanished like a waking dream, a throne undermined by petty foes—while the Danube flows ever eastward. Habsburg, oh Habsburg. A passionate historian of the Habsburg legacy finds himself reborn as Emperor Franz, armed with foreknowledge and resolve. Determined to overturn history’s verdict, he sets out to reshape the empire’s fate and restore the House of Habsburg to unparalleled might. The vision of a seventy-million-strong great power, once lost to the annals of failure, becomes his personal mission to realize. This is the chronicle of an empire’s defiant resurgence, originally titled *The Road to the Rise of the Austrian Empire*.
