Capítulo 772: Chapter 35, Near East War Ends

On July 12, 1883, Russian Army captured the Ottoman Capital Ankara, apprehending Grand Vizier Midhat, and the Ottoman Empire officially declared its collapse.

From Vienna to St. Petersburg, both cities were immersed in the joy of victory, with various celebration events being continuously staged.

To commemorate this great victory, Franz, who disliked banquets, even personally hosted a victory banquet and at one point considered holding an ancestor worship ceremony.

After all, traditions are meant to be broken, and in those days The Vatican had already declined, lacking the ability to meddle.

Just the thought of the Habsburg Family's traditional funerary customs was enough to dispel Franz's interest in ancestor worship.

After death, members of the Habsburg Dynasty are buried in three different places: the heart in the Augustinian Church, the entrails in St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the body interred within the royal crypt beneath the Capuchin Church.
