And Franz Ferdinand, a Serbian sympathizer - the only guy in the Austrian political system who would've attempted to stop the war (at least that's what the common narrative is), was killed by a Serbian terrorist. The world works in mysterious ways. I am still so sad the actual decent men in history lives are cut short. Guangxu was a humble man who despite losing to the Japanese and his homeland being torn apart by foreign powers and his own imperial court's misdoing still had hopes and plans to make thing betters once his time came. The Xianfeng was the last emperor with any actual power, lost the 2nd Opium War and literally being an opium junkie. Guangxu was a puppet his entire life and yet still kept a positive outlook on life, I cannot help to respect it when he had all the reason to basically kill everyone.
