Habsburgs. This was a considerable act. The European nobility are very serious about their aristocratic
rules. (Francis Joseph was not very close to the House, but his wife was a good friend of the
Rothschilds). Another great example of Rothschild
influence is their direct Involvement
on both sides
of the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian
Wars. Bismarck., dictator of Prussia, was a sort of son to
fatheriess Amschel of Frankfort. After Amschel died Bismarck remained close to the Rothschilds
(although he had occasional quibbles with the family). Bismarcks banker, Bleichroder, was a
Rothschild agent and the richest man in Berlin. He was invaluable to Bismarck as the financier of the
dictators wars with Austria and France. In Austria, the Hapsburgs were at least publicly Implored by
Alphonse and Anthony of Paris and Anselm of Vienna to avoid a war with the ambitious Prussian
dictator at all costs. Of all the international
banking families, the Rothschilds
appeared to be in favor
of peace the most, although this was probably a ruse. ,,We want peace at any price," said Anthony de
Rothschild. "What do we care about Germany, or Austria or Belgium? That sort of thing is out of
date." But the Austrians gave in to Bismarcks provocations and embarked on a war with Prussia in
1866 (the Rothschilds
had all congregated
in London for a family wedding the year before; it is
possible the wedding was used as an excuse to assemble the family together to discuss a plan of action
concerning the up-coming events) . Austria had been warned. In seven weeks the war was
over, Bismarck had crushed the Austrians. The war had been financed by Rothschild agent,
Bleichroder.
Then Bismarck began to provoke France. Napoleon III was in the pocket of the head of
all the Rothschilds,
Alphonse de Rothschild of the Paris House. In fact, the two even shared the same
mistress. Alphonse also had "access" to Bismarck. He was on both sides of the track, so to speak.
Then, (very possibly under Rothschild direction) Bismarck began to try to put a German prince on the
Spanish throne. Napoleon III responded by telling Alphonse that France could not allow such a thing,
and unless England intervened diplomatically
he would have no choice but to go to war against
Prussia. The Emperor wished to use the Rothschilds
courier/agent
system to reiay this message to
England. Baron Alphonse did so, sending the message to Nathaniel de Rothschild at New Court who
relayed it to a close family Mend, and former Prime Minister Gladstone (England happened to be
without a Prime Minister at that time). Gladstone (shedding. I believe, a light on the familys own
opinions) answered the message with a refusal to intervene. The stage was set. Although Bismarck
withdrew his SpanIsh candidate, the frictions between France and Prussia had become irreconcilable.
Napoleon III declared war on Prussia in 1870. Explained one biographer: "No one foresaw the fall of
France. Indeed crowned beads and statesmen alike believed that at long last Bismarck. had taken on an
impossible task." Despite everyones confidence in France, Alphonse sent his family to England. He
apparently knew better. Napoleon III suffered a terrible defeat. His empire came to an end. This war
was also financed by the Rothschild agent, Bleichroder. Here comes the great puzzle concerning the
whole affair. Biographers,
using diaries and such, seem to think the Rothschilds
were very distraught
over Napoleon IIIs loss. But It also appears they were behind the whole mess. Perhaps the fear of the
unpredictability
of the new revolution caused this dismay. Perhaps It is just Rothschild disinformation.
Perhaps their pan was to keep connections
on both sides of the conflict and ride out
the storm, but they were upset because their philosophical
loyalty was to France (although I find this
hard to believe). The family had their hands in both sides of the conflict, it even appears they
manufactured
the conflict, why the outcome might have upset them I have no idea. I personally
believe the House of Rothschild wanted to get rid of Napoleon Ill and his empire, which is exactly
what happened, the third republic was set up in France. After the war the French economy was
devastated. The Rothschild agent, Junius Morgan was brought in to help restore the French financial
situation. He made a large profit. As you can see the Rothschilds
involvement
in the Austro-Prussian
and Franco-Prussian
Wars was significant, even though they were crying peace.
FRENCH HOUSE, LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Alphonse, of the "New Trinity", was the 4th bead of the House of Rothschild. He was an aristocratic
man and friend of many prominent leaders of his day. He was also an adulterer, his most notable
affair being with the Comtesse de Castiglione. He and his wife were called "the most lavish
entertainers of their day." The sophisticated
Alphonse was even friends with Belgiums King Leopold
and Englands Prince of Whales. He also improved upon his Inherited network of Rothschild agents,
an underground system that would continue to grow well after his death. He was one of best Informed
