Armáda, společnost a nepokoje roku 1897
The Army, Society and the Riots of 1897

Summary/Abstract: By the end of the 19th century, the central government in Cisleithania was experiencing significant challenges in maintaining control over mass movements and riots. This was primarily due to the in sufficient number of police and gendarmerie forces and the politicization of local governments. The army was repeatedly called up, yet encountered similar challenges as the civil authorities. Moreover, it still operated in the spirit of absolutism, which rendered it incapable of responding effectively to the demands of modern times. The military thus often faced criticism. This became fully apparent during the 1897 riots.
