This year marks the 125th anniversary of the assassination of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Her death spread widespread grief and shock across Europe. Throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as in other countries in Europe a period of mourning was arranged and memorial services were held. Her assassination prompted nations to increase their security measures and take additional precautions to protect their head of state against anarchists and political radicals. Many people began seeing the anarchists as a threat to social order and stability. The public outcry against anarchism rose.
Empress Elisabeth or "Sisi", how she is commonly remembered today, left this world with a lasting legacy. As she did not pose for photographs after her mid 30s her youthful beauty is locked in people’s minds up until this day. Her looks and fashion sense laid the foundation for many books, movies and TV series. She somehow seemed like a tragic but yet so mystical figure, who struggled with the royal life she was pushed into.
