Answer 4

Monarchy in Austria ended up in 1918.

The term Habsburg Monarchy refers to the territories ruled by the Austrian branch of the House of Habsburg, and then by the successor House of Habsburg-Lorraine, between 1745 and 1867/1918. The capital was Vienna (from 1583 to 1611 Prague). The monarchy from 1804 to 1867 is usually referred to as the Austrian Empire and from 1867 to 1918 as Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Answer 5

No. Blessed Charles I (17 August 1887 – 1 April 1922) was the last Emperor of Austria, the last King of Bohemia, Hungary and Croatia and Slavonia, and the last monarch of the Habsburg dynasty. He reigned as Charles I as Emperor of Austria and Charles IV as King of Hungary from 1916 until 1918, when he "renounced participation" in state affairs, but did not abdicate. He spent the remaining years of his life attempting to restore the monarchy until his death in 1922.

Answer 6

No the Hapsburgs gave up their claim to the throne

Answer 7

Austria became a republic at the end of the First World War.  The last Emperor of Austria-Hungary was Franz Josef, but he actually became King of Austria and of Hungary - the Dual Monarchy - in 1867.  The last King of Austria was Karl (he was of course also King of Hungary), who 'relinquished government' rather than formally abdicating, in November 1918.

Answer 8

No, Austria abolished the monarchy in 1918. The last emperor was Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Maria von Habsburg-Lothringen (1887-1922) who ruled as Emperor Karl I of Austria and King Karoly IV of Hungary between 1916 and 1918. He died in exile in Madeira in 1922, but his wife, the Empress Zita lived until 1989. (Emperor Franz Josef I, mentioned in an earlier answer, reigned between 1848 and 1916). The Roman Catholic church is currently in the process of canonising Karl, so in church circles he is often referred to as the "Blessed Charles of Austria"; the second miracle which needs to be confirmed in order to make him a saint was claimed last January for a Baptist woman in Florida who it is claimed was miraculously cured of cancer after praying to him to intercede with the Lord for her. He is favoured by the church because he was a genuinely religious man, and the only monarch who in World War I forbade his army from using poison gas.

Their oldest son and heir is the currently 95-year-old Otto von Habsburg, who still has the titles "Archduke and Crown Prince of Austria, Crown Prince of Hungary and Bohemia", though the Austrian government would not let him back into the country after 1918 until 1966. He is a citizen of Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia, and served as a Member of the European Parliament for Bavaria between 1979 and 1999.
