Amidst the bustling cafes of Paris in 1877-78, Mlle Becat's Cafe des Ambassadeurs played host to lively discussions among the elite. Prince Leopold of Belgium, fresh from his engagement to Princess Charlotte of Wales, mingled with the crowd, unaware of the tumultuous events unfolding on the other side of the Atlantic. Meanwhile, in the United States, American Indians at Pine Ridge Agency were rising against the confinement of their lands and the encroachment of white settlers. The American Indian Wars were in full swing, a stark contrast to the opulence of European high society. Back in Europe, Prince Leopold was no stranger to controversy. In 1872, he was implicated in the Mayerling incident, the mysterious death of his mistress, Countess Sissi. Fast forward to the early 20th century, Prince John, the future King George V's son, became a champion for women's rights and equality, a progressive stance that set him apart from his conservative contemporaries. Yet, the echoes of the past were not entirely forgotten. The scars of the Confederate Forces' defeat in the American Civil War still lingered, a painful reminder of the deep-rooted divisions that continued to plague both continents.
