	Meaning well: The curious life of a habsburg idealist. (Books).(Emperor Maximilian II) (book review) - Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Maximilian recognized and sought to address such problems in his Hofkammerordnung, the exchequer reform of 1568, but it would be the work of centuries for the Habsburgs to devise and establish the institutions of government that would correlate the diverse parts of such far-flung dominions.
		Maximilian himself did not encourage Jesuit missionary activity in Austria, and was unenthusiastic about the religious enterprises of contemporary popes, remarking about Pius V in the 1560s that "the pope would be well suited as an inquisitor or to direct a monastery...
		Maximilian's universalism was certainly premised on the possibility of a unitary and reconciled Christian faith in Europe, but he did not accept that it was the absolute prerogative of the pope to determine the contours of that faith.

		Maximilian II continued the building programs of his father, established the Bavarian National Museum (1855), and played a role in encouraging writers to settle in Munich.
		Maximilian built an avenue (the Maximilianstrasse) in his own honor and held a series of competitions among architects for the design of such public buildings as the Regierung (Administrative Building) and the Maximilianeum (Bavarian Parliament Building).
		Maximilian's role in the promotion of science, industry, and education made him one of the most enlightened despots of the 19th century.

	French intervention in Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French intervention in Mexico, also known as the Maximilian Affair, was an invasion of Mexico by the army of the Second French Empire, supported in the beginning by the British and Spanish.
		Maximilian landed at Veracruz on 28 May (or possibly 29 May) 1864 in the SMS Novara and accepted the crown formally on 10 April, signing the Miramar Convention.
		Maximilian was executed on 19 June (along with his generals Miguel Miramón and Tomás Mejía) on the Cerro de las Campanas, a hill on the outskirts of Querétaro, by the forces loyal to President Benito Juárez, who had kept the federal government functioning during the French intervention.

	Congress of Ems
		Maximilian Franz, Archbishop of Cologne (a brother of Emperor Joseph II), refused to see him, and none of the three elector-archbishops honoured his credentials.
		Archbishop Wenceslaus of Trier, who had long desired an amicable settlement of the odious affair, into which, it appears, he was drawn against his will, publicly withdrew from the "Punctation" on 20 Feb., 1790, and admonished his colleagues to follow his example.
		They, however, continued their opposition and on occasion of the imperial capitulation of Leopold II (1790) and that of Francis II (1792) obtained the promise that their complaints concerning the nunciatures would be attended to as soon as possible by a decree of the diet.

	Unfinished Homage: Manet's Burial and Baudelaire. - Encyclopedia.com
		Manet was told in advance of the Salon of 1868 that his painting on the subject would not be accepted, and his lithographic stone after the painting was seized and almost effaced.
		It is well known that Manet's later versions of The Execution of Maximilian are heavily indebted to Francisco de Goya's anti-Bonapartist The Third of May, 1808, of 1814, and that Manet's friend Charles Yriarte had just come out with a monograph on Goya in April 1867 that included an engraving of the painting.
		Stylistically, The Burial appears to combine the loose notation of cityscape visible in the Universal Exposition with the handling of space typical of the Execution, which would suggest that the painting is from the same period--late 1867 or early 1868.

		Maximilian talked to her about politics, Lord Byron, his own beliefs and goals, his planned for home of Miramar in Triest, Italy and about his many travels.
		Maximilian came to his wife's point of view, but still refused to accept the offer until Napoleon III promised him that he was genuinely wanted and that French troops and money would support him until Mexico could stand alone.
		Maximilian, not wishing to impose himself if he was not truly wanted, and seeing the odds mounting against him, considered abdicating, but Empress Carlota, despite her sadness, was not the sort of woman to give up and she was determined that they would prevail against all those who had used and deceived them.

		Maximilian simply could not be allowed to live to continue holding together Chesley, and so I put aside my old friendship for the man and ended his life.

		Maximilian had an Indian mistress in Cuernavaca and, according to contemporary historians, she gave birth to a boy in 1866.
		As for Carlota, she was having an affair with a Belgian officer in Maximilian's army, Colonel Alfred van der Smissens, and was pregnant when she went to Europe to plead her husband's cause.

	441ImperialReform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		For several decades prior to the "Luther Affair," the political life of central Europe was absorbed with a series of efforts to reform the institutions of law-making and government within the Holy Roman Empire.
		Emperor Maximilian -- vulnerable due to several simultaneous wars -- was forced to concede a large measure of control over the new tribunal to the princes, who appointed some of the judges and who (in theory) financed the whole operation.
		Finally, in 1500, Maximilian could no longer resist the pressure to establish a Imperial Executive Council (Reichsregiment), seated in the imperial city of Nürnberg, which was meant to operate continuously as a governing council, on behalf of the Reichstag and with only a minimum of interference from the Emperor.

	First, it is necessary to draw distinctions between the two periods of the Dreyfus Affair
		The rise of Waldeck-Rousseau was a testament to this swing of the pendulum, and the subsequent elections in the Chamber further reflected it.
		The Affair also brought to question what place such zealous nationalism, clericalism, and anti-Semitism had in the Third Republic, and after the Henry suicide in 1898, many conservatives found themselves on the wrong side of what was in the best interests for the French nation.
		The very nature of the Dreyfus Affair would be centered around public opinion, and it was no accident that rural and poor areas lacking press influence due to limitations in circulation, would throughout the entire process be immune from the hysteria the press would often times incite.

	The Brooklyn Rail - Dec 2006/Jan 2007 - John Elderfield with Phong Bui
		But let’s go back to the Maximilian picture: We know it never received as popular a reception as the two paintings “Olympia” and “Le Dejeuner sur l’herb”—partially because the Maximilian pictures were not shown in France during Manet’s lifetime.
		As far as the gesture of Maximilian’s arms is concerned, whether it was religious or has other psychological implications, all I can say is that Proust would prefer the London picture while Freud would pick the Boston picture.
		This was clearly a propaganda effort to try and engage Mexico on the side of the United States, and an example of the wider effort of trying to get every Latin American country on the side of the allies during the war, which was by and large successful.
