The BRUTAL Execution Of Maximilian I Of Mexico - The Emperor Of Mexico

Throughout History there have been many different acts of regicide which resulted in the executions of a King or an Emperor. One of the strangest executions of an Emperor was Maximilian I of Mexico, who was an Archduke of Austria. Maximilian was invited to become the Emperor of Mexico however this was ill-informed and he was ousted from power by rebels who did not want to be ruled over by a European monarch. There was a great deal of anger, and he was later besieged inside a city, but Maximilian was arrested and was then accused of treason, and was sentenced to death.

Many European heads of state appealed against the death sentence, and they wanted Maximilian to be spared. But this did not get granted, and he was executed. He was brought in front of a firing squad and a large crowd, and he uttered a final speech before he was executed. Some claim he was a man who wanted to help the Mexicans, but others claim that he was a man who was very far from home, and did not know much about the country he was ruling.
