Maximilian of Mexico - Dreams of Power
Since childhood, Archduke Maximilian, brother of Emperor Franz Josef I., wished for nothing but emerging from his sibling's shadow. His dream finally comes true when he becomes the Emperor of Mexico.
However, the dream unexpectedly becomes a nightmare: Maximilian believes he is welcomed in Mexico, but the opposite is the case. He is eventually captured by his adversary, Benito Juarez, and sentenced to death. Maximilian's dreams of becoming a glorious ruler die with him.
