#MariaTheresa abolished the use of #torture in interrogation in the #Habsburg empire on the advice of Joseph II #OnThisDay in 1776; Frederick the Great's Prussia was the first country to do so in 1740; so why can't #DonaldTrump & the US Congress do the same in the US?

When in Trieste, you can marvel at a giant Maria Theresa Thaler. In the 19th century this thaler became one of the most important trading coins in the world. The Austrian Mint continues to mint this iconic coin to this day.

Histoire des Habsbourg
#MariaTheresa was born #OnThisDay in 1717; the only woman to rule over the Habsburg empire was the ablest of all the #Hapsburgs, centralizing her father's ramshackle empire & introducing important reforms that kept it going for nearly 150 more years...

Medal depicting coronation of Maria Theresa as queen of Bohemia 1743. The Habsburg heiress had to fight for almost every inch of land she inherited. You can read more about Maria Theresa & other female kings in my forthcoming book 😉 #womenwhoruledtheworld #femaleking #reigningqueen #mariatheresa
#MariaTheresa abolished the use of #torture in interrogation in the #Habsburg empire on the advice of Joseph II #OnThisDay in 1776; Frederick the Great's Prussia was the first country to do so in 1740; so why can't #JoeBiden do the same in the US...? It's funny to think that the republican US is 300 years behind an imperial regime that collapsed in 1918 in terms of public policy reform & human rights... http://tortureum.com/history-of-torture/
