Bischof, Günter (Hrsg.): From Empire to Republic Post Wwi (Contemporary Austrian Studies, Vol 19)

The breakup of the Habsburg Dual Monarchy and the redrawing of the political map of East Central Europe was a major experiment in destroying the old, and creating the new (O. Hwaletz). The eighteen essays in this volume offer fresh perspective and innovative scholarship on the difficult transition from empire to republic for the small state of Austria, newly created by the Allied peacemakers in Paris in 1919.
