Only the Prussian constitution of 1848 made the Poles living in Prussia Prussian citizens; they had "no longer to be regarded as Prussian Poles, but as Polish Prussians". The legal situation that was created at that time has fundamentally not changed over the past decades. However, general legal understanding has progressed over time. In particular, the international treaties that ended the World War created the concept of "national minorities" and introduced it into practical politics. The "national minorities" of Prussia and, thus, of the German Reich include those German Reich or Prussian nationals who are willing to preserve and cultivate their own and unique Polish nationality in the foreign state association - according to descent, customs, customs and traditions and to continue to exist within it as a nationally united Polish community. In terms of constitutional law, the Polish minority in Prussia can only be described as “Polish Prussians” in the sense of Prussian nationals of Polish origin. Anyone who possesses Prussian or German nationality — possession of which is a conceptual prerequisite for someone being able to count themselves among the national minorities in Prussia or Germany — cannot at the same time be “Pole”, i.e. non-German; On the other hand, anyone who is Poles, i.e. foreigners, does not belong to the national minority and therefore cannot derive any rights from this characteristic. "Member of a minority" and "foreigner" are two mutually exclusive terms: Every member of the minority is also a citizen of the state in which he resides. A “Prussian Pole” could therefore not exist in itself: because a “Pole” living in Prussia cannot also be a “Prussian” as a foreigner! The antithesis: "Prussian Poles or Polish Prussians?" is therefore legally unfounded and untenable.

THE AUTHOR WAS CHARACTERIZED BY A CLEAR ANTI-SEMITIC ATTITUDE. IT IS INTERCONNECTED WITH HIS AUTHORITARIAN BELIEF THAT "MIGHT MAKES LAW" (SEE BELOW – GERMAN WORDING IS USING HERE »VIOLENCE« INSTEAD OF »MIGHT«). IN HIS PREFACE THE AUTHOR WAS WRITING: »Who is now in Austria-Hungary the main bearer of the unfortunate nationality dispute, which threatens to destroy the venerable old Habsburg Empire if disillusionment does not set in? Yes, the question would be solved soon. If the Czecho-Slavs would submit, renounce their language, adopt the German state language; in, in Austria, one would prefer to proceed like the Prussians with the Poles, the Magyars with the Slovaks, Romanians, the English with the Irish, the Italians with the Serbo-Croats and Slovenes — then the dispute would soon be settled, violence before the law. The nationality quarrel could not possibly have assumed such dimensions if Austria were not so richly blessed with the Jewish press, Austria's curse. This wretched press is Austria's greatest misfortune. The evidence is provided by the Palacký celebrations on June 19, 1898, held in Prague.«

Interest in the history of the Turkish wars prompted me to describe in more detail the Turkish incursions into the Austrian hereditary lands which followed the Battle of Mohács in the next few years, and to publish this work of mine with regard to the favorable reception which my »Battles of Hungary with the Ottomans until the Battle of Mohács 152« experienced three years ago. I hope that in this my work I have given a fairly detailed and coherent picture of the events of these years, but I also feel compelled to publish a new edition of the "Battles of Hungary" in which, in order to avoid repetition, the conditions in Austria, insofar as they cannot be separated from those of Hungary, are fully taken into account.

None of the great nationalities of Austria can secure the existence of the monarchy on its own, but each of them can endanger the empire through their resistance. Each of them can individually intervene in a destructive way, but only all of them together can act constructively. If government, representatives of the people and journalists, both on this side and on the other side of the Leitha, always keep this truth in mind in their decisions and work, Austria will consolidate. If not, then not.

This book was begun when public attention, held for more than a year by the affairs of Armenia, Crete and the Greco-Turkish conflict, was suddenly brought back to the Austrian crisis. Its object being to present, not only the Serbs, the Montenegrins and the Bulgarians, but all the South Slavic race, spread from the Black Sea to Trieste, to the state of entity, of ethnic individuality, if the we can say, finally, one by origin, tendencies, interests and international function, - we can well admit that because of certain folds of the Western spirit it seemed to us several times of a difficult realization. On the one hand, it was necessary to insist on the ethnographic data and to put forward one of those theories of “nationalities” which fascinated the generation of 1848, even that of 1860, but are now considered outdated. On the other hand, it was necessary to break with certain usual classifications, which are above all inspired by the outline of the political border: we are used to considering that the "Balkan" begins at the precise point where the Empire ends. of the Habsburgs, and no more solidarity is admitted between these two worlds than between the so-called "Austrian" questions and the Eastern question.

ONE of the main tasks of the Jewish intelligentsia is to combat racial hatred and anti-Semitism. Centuries-old prejudices and open incitements on the part of prominent public circles create an atmosphere of hostility in some of the countries in Europe and America. Apart from the persecutions to which the ethnic minority elements are exposed in certain countries, the Jews are the object of a systematic and well-organized propaganda in most of the countries of south-eastern Europe. Especially in a great country, whose past speaks of a great rise in all fields of human genius, the Jews are de facto disenfranchised, as human beings and citizens, deprived of the opportunity to exercise their prerogatives as subjects of the country. … The offered book is the work of one editor whose efforts to illuminate and combat racism and anti-Semitism are known to the public.

Digitized copy of the print-edition of 1929/1930 by A. Pedone Editeur in Paris, with a preface by William Oualid (Prof. of Law at the Law Faculty of Paris University) FROM OUALID's PREFACE:Ms Stamenovitch's book is the model of a national monograph on emigration. It would be desirable for similar ones to appear for each of the principal emigrant countries. Each of them has, in fact, its own causes of demographic exodus: distant and deep causes or immediate and superficial causes. Thus, the detailed and detailed table of the internal migrations of the vast movements of men inside what has become the unified Yugoslavia, shows that the movement goes back a long way in history, and the past partly sheds light on the present. But history should not overlook the influence of recent events: the murderous and devastating war, the political aspirations for independence, and economic aspirations for equality; deep reforms such as agrarian reform satisfying immediate demands, but perhaps cutting corners, sacrificing old institutions of human solidarity and social prosperity like the Zadrouga! With the precision of an agronomist, the objectivity of a scientist, the philosophy of a historian and the eclecticism of a politician, Ms Stamenovitch analyzed all aspects of emigration in her country. He did so with the honest patriotism of a man who fought and suffered for the freedom and unity of old Serbia. He also did it with the breadth of view of a man trained in science in our universities, able to consider the human side of major modern questions. There is no doubt that these qualities ensure his book the success it deserves.
More...The author in his introduction: Recent events show that Yugoslavia is facing important decisions. Due to the change of government and the increased activity of the opposition, the most important problems of domestic and foreign policy are nearing their final settlement, with lively public interest. The way in which these questions are being raised and the point in time at which they are being raised reveal the full significance of the political events in the most powerful state in South-Eastern Europe.

«This book contains, without any major changes, my lectures on the problems of democracy, which were delivered at the University of Chicago in March, April and May, 1939. I could wish that I had had more time to complete, or, at least, to adapt some chapters of rhe book for the enlightenment of European readers. Though that has not been possible, I am glad to have the opportunity this preface provides to add a few words for my British readers.» (from Beneš' Introduction) // Original Publication in 19349 by MACMILLAN & CO., LIMITED, London 1939
