Entry: Frum's Mishagas Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/frums_mishagas#9381 Post contents: Dr. Gottfried, Remember that Emperor Charles did everything he could to stop the war, and restore a stable Europe that essentially was the status quo ante bellum. He realized that there would be no peace between Germany and France until Alsatia and Lorraine were back with France, and would have given the Germans a huge province of his, I can't remember whether it was Silesia, Galicia, or the Ukraine. The idiot German General Staff refused to listen to the only head of state who took pains to visit his troops at the front, and fought until they lost everything. Emperor Charles also wrote his in-law Sixte, an Italian nobleman serving in the Belgian army, trying to see what could be done to end the nightmare. Cast all the aspersions you want on the others, but please give Blessed Charles his due! Sent at: 2008 07 06
