Královec Region
The Královec Region (; cs, Královecký kraj) is an internet meme consisting of a satirical annexation of Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast by the Czech Republic. The meme originated in 2022, in reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. History On 27 September, the Czech satirical website made a petition for the Czech Republic to send soldiers to Kaliningrad Oblast, hold an annexation referendum that would have a 98% vote in favor, and make the region a formal part of the country renamed as Královec, thus gaining access to the sea. This was in response to the annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine and the subsequent annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine. Satirical calls for Czech annexation also extended to Franz Josef Land ( cs, Země Františka Josefa, link=no), an Arctic archipelago discovered during an expedition by a group including Czech individuals on 1873. It was named after Franz ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Franz Joseph I Of Austria
Franz Joseph I or Francis Joseph I (german: Franz Joseph Karl, hu, Ferenc József Károly, 18 August 1830 – 21 November 1916) was Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, and the other states of the Habsburg monarchy from 2 December 1848 until his death on 21 November 1916. In the early part of his reign, his realms and territories were referred to as the Austrian Empire, but were reconstituted as the dual monarchy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1867. From 1 May 1850 to 24 August 1866, Franz Joseph was also President of the German Confederation. In December 1848, Franz Joseph's uncle Emperor Ferdinand abdicated the throne at Olomouc, as part of Minister President Felix zu Schwarzenberg's plan to end the Revolutions of 1848 in Hungary. Franz Joseph then acceded to the throne. Largely considered to be a reactionary, he spent his early reign resisting constitutionalism in his domains. The Austrian Empire was forced to cede its influence over Tuscany and most of its claim to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
