Joseph II was the Emperor of the Enlightenment. During his short term in office he changed his empire like no other. He wanted to understand the living conditions of the common people and alleviate their misery. Until his death he traveled 50,000 kilometres - more than once around the globe - through Europe, including visiting his sister Marie Antoinette in Versailles.
