Empress Zita Not Author of 1917 Peace Proposal
A long excerpted dispatch recounts Empress Zita and her brother Prince Sixtus of Bourbon seeking peace in 1917. It alleges Count Czernin pressured Zita to urge Sixtus to Vienna and cites negotiations in Hamburg with Emperor Charles, Bethmann Hollweg, and the German headquarters. The piece portrays Czernin as treacherous, claims Bethmann Hollweg opposed concessions, and accuses Czernin of later denying knowledge of Charles’s letter. It also notes political fallout for Czernin and suggests a legacy of treachery within the Habsburg circle.
