In 1869 Emperor Francis Joseph I of Austria travelled outside continental Europe to attend the opening of the Suez Canal.

Francis Joseph's only son would become Emperor Rudolph I of Austria.
Rudolph would be a minor. A regency would be established.
Rudolph's uncle, Archduke Karl Ludwig could be a regent.
