After Leopold II abdicated in favor of his elder son Ferdinand IV on 21 July 1859, the hypothetical reign did not last long. The Tuscan National Assembly formally deposed the House of Habsburg-Lorraine on 16 August 1859, ending the dynasty's rule in Tuscany. The grand ducal government was subsequently dissolved upon Tuscany's annexation to the United Provinces of Central Italy in 1859.
