The Conflict between the Nationalities and the Constitutional Conflict in Austria

Der Nationalitäten- und Verfassungskonflikt in Österreich

Author(s): Rudolf Vrba / Language(s): German

Keywords: Antisemitism; decay of Habsburg Empire; ethnic conflicts; imperialism; Colonialism;

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.«

Austria's Struggles with the Ottomans from 1526 to 1537

Die Kämpfe Oesterreichs mit den Osmanen vom Jahre 1526 bis 1537.

Author(s): Leopold Kupelwieser / Language(s): German

Keywords: Battle of Mohács; Turkish-Ottoman wars;

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. (the Author, 1898)

Austria and the Guarantees of its Existence. A political Study.

Österreich und die Bürgschaften seines Bestandes. Eine politische Studie.

Author(s): Adolph Fischhof / Language(s): German

Keywords: conflict of nationalities in Habsburg empire;

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.
