Hausdorff's Maximal Principle is equivalent to Axiom of Choice

Theorem
Every ordered set has a maximal chain the axiom of choice holds.

Proof

 * Hausdorff Maximal Principle implies Zermelo's Well-Ordering Theorem
 * Zermelo's Well-Ordering Theorem is Equivalent to Axiom of Choice
 * Hausdorff Maximal Principle: Proof 3, from whence the Axiom of Choice is seen to imply the Hausdorff Maximal Principle
