At 6:40 in the morning, on the nineteenth of June, 1867, Maximilian, the second and last Emperor of Mexico and the brother of the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, was shot dead by firing squad alongside two of his generals.
He’d been captured by liberal and anti-monarchist forces two days earlier, and he was quickly tried and sentenced to death.
As dawn broke on the day of his execution, Maximilian handed each member of the firing squad a gold coin before uttering his final words:
“I forgive everyone, and I ask everyone to forgive me. May my blood which is about to be spilled end the bloodshed which has been experienced in my new motherland. Long live Mexico! Long live its independence!”
Maximilian’s embalmed body was kept in Mexico and put on display for six months after his death, before it was sent back to Austria aboard SMS Novara–the same ship that brought Mexico’s final Emperor and Empress to the country just three years earlier.
