Under the Foreign policy section there is currently a subsection with regards to the "German question" but a section with regards to the equally important "Italian question" is lacking. Nonetheless, the Italian question was a very important part of the early part of Franz Josef's reign. It culminated in the Second War of Italian Independence against Piemont-Sardinia and the Second French Empire, where Franz Josef personally commanded the Austrian army at Solferino and after the loss of that battle he was forced to cede Lombardy to Piemont. After that battle he never commanded in the field again. Seven years later as a consequence of losing the Austro-Prussian War, and regardless of the Austrians winning at Custozza against the Prussian allied new Intalian Kingdom, he was obliged to cede the Veneto to the new Italian Kingdom. Methinks thus a new section should be introduced in the article with regards to this topic. -- fdewaele, 3 May 2020, 23:26.

Oppose. Not this again. Oppose for the same reason as last time, per a couple of threads above this. There's got to be more useful things to be doing than this. DeCausa (talk) 13:51, 5 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Support - Per WP:SOVEREIGN, WP:CONCISE, and WP:COMMONNAME. Strong oppose removing the ordinal, although it may be more common it was part of his regnal name. Its only natural that "Franz Joseph" alone will be more common as writers won't repeatedly add the numeral in a biography for every reference. estar8806 (talk) ★17:27, 5 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Just watched "Corsage", the recent biopic of Empress Elisabeth. FJ (as she calls him to one of her people) is shown removing his side whiskers in private and simply sporting a bushy moustache. I had no idea this was the case, or whether it was common in the 1860s and 1870s when men often worse their facial hair like this. Might be worth a brief mention.

The ultimatum send to Serbia was designed to be rejected. Austria-Hungary was deliberately steering for war. Yet the text as written here shifts the blame to Serbia as being unreasonable. Therefore, this paragraph needs to be rewritten. ~2026-25000-44 (talk) 08:05, 24 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
