About

"Fall of Eagles" is a 13-part British television drama aired by the BBC in 1974. The series portrays historical events from 1848 to 1918, dealing with the collapse of the ruling dynasties of Austria-Hungary (the Habsburgs), Germany (the Hohenzollerns) and Russia (the Romanovs).

A heavy sense of inevitable decay hangs over these corridors of power as grand dynasties slowly unravel. This sprawling chronicle captures the quiet, dignified tragedy of empires sliding toward their own destruction.
