  • The Causation of World War 1
    LEARNING ACTIVITY Student worksheet The causation of World War 1 Task 1: What happened in Sarajevo? It is 28th June 1914. You work for the newsroom of the Sarajevo Daily Show. Today is a big day for the city of Sarajevo. Sarajevo is the capital of the province of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The province is ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It can often seem like a very long way from the capital of the Empire in Vienna to the small city of Sarajevo. However, Sarajevo has a strong sense of identity and a proud history. Today is a big day! The heir to the Austro-Hungarian Imperial throne is visiting the city. Archduke Franz-Ferdinand, as he is known, is visiting with his wife Sophie. They will be arriving at the station just before 10AM. They will be met by General Oskar Potiorek, the governor of the province. He will accompany them in an open top car cortege to the City Hall for an official reception. The cars will drive down the Appel Quay along the river and there are expected to be many crowds lining the route. The Archduke is not popular in Austria, but is keen to make a good impression on his future subjects in Sarajevo. This story will be the news of the day. How are you going to report it? Where are you going to send reporters? Whose views would you like to get? What pictures need taking? How are you going to present the story? Start planning! Your colleague has arrived in the office.

  • Occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
    DOI 10.7251/GOD2042061S УДК 341.223.2(497.15):930.85(497.15) ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER OCCUPATION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Sanja Savić1 Faculty of Law, University of East Sarajevo Abstract: The extensive diplomatic action with which the Austro-Hungari- an monarchy began in 1875 ultimately resulted in the Berlin Congress and the acquisition of a mandate to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina. This act led to a series of changes, both in terms of the international legal position of the occu- pied territory, and in internal issues. The author deals with the circumstances that preceded the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the way in which it was carried out, as well as the internal changes that it led to, placing special emphasis on the organization of government and the legal system. Key words: occupation, Bosnia and Herzegovina, government organiza- tion, legal system. 1. DIPLOMATIC STRUGGLE OF AUSTRO-HUNGARY FOR BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Seeing in the uprising that broke out in 1875 the possibility of realizing their own interests regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austro-Hungary launched an extensive diplomatic action. As early as December 30, 1875, the Austro-Hun- garian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count GyulaAndrássy, sent a diplomatic note to the great European powers, the content of which primarily referred to the need for appropriate reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina: freedom of reli- gion, improving the economic situation of peasants, as well as the abolition of the lease.2 In addition, the establishment of appropriate bodies to oversee the implementation of these reforms was sought. After obtaining the consent of the great powers, the memorandum was sent to the Turkish government on January 31, 1876.

Graydon A. Tunstall shows how Austria-Hungary entered the war woefully unprepared for the ordeal it would endure. When the war commenced, the Habsburg Army proved grossly understrength relative to trained officers and manpower, possess- ing obsolete weapons and equipment, and with the vast majority of its troops proved inadequately trained for modern warfare. Well over one million Habsburg troops mobilized, creating an enormous logistical chal- lenge of forging an army from the diverse cultures, languages, economic and educational backgrounds of the empire’s peoples.

S obzirom na broj sačuvanih predmeta, izbor nije bio lak, ali će odabrani za- interesirati javnost za povijesno blago i, nadajmo se, potaknuti nova istraživanja. Ključne riječi: Hrvatski povijesni muzej, muzejske zbirke, muzejski predmeti Saznanja o ljudima u prošlosti, njihovu životu i raznim događajima ne stječu se izravno nego samo neizravno, tj. na temelju materijalnih ili pisanih tra- gova koji su sačuvani te ih potom stručne osobe objašnjavaju i javno pred- stavljaju.1 Primjenom pravila znanstvenoga postupka, stručnom obradom ti ostaci i tragovi prošlosti postaju izvori koji služe kao svjedočanstva o odre- đenim povijesnim zbivanjima. Primjenjujući definiciju povijesnoga izvora na muzejske predmete, možemo kazati da oni postaju sredstvo za spoznaju određenih povijesnih zbivanja. U ovom konkretnom slučaju to znači da su različite vrste muzejskih predmeta skupljenih u okviru zbirki postale sred- stvo pomoću kojega se nastoji spoznati pojavnost Prvoga svjetskog rata ne samo u hrvatskom nego i širem europskom kontekstu. 1 U zbirkama Hrvatskoga povijesnog muzeja sakupljeno je više tisuća raznovrsnih muzejskih predmeta (dokumentarne građe, djela likovnih umjetnosti, odlikovanja, memorabilija, predmeta svakodnevne upotrebe, oružja, odora i ostaloga) koji su materijalna svjedočanstva o Prvom svjetskom ratu, povijesnom razdoblju zanemarivanom dugi niz godina među historičarima u Hrvatskoj.

  • The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Archduchess Sophie Franz Ferdinand, Eldest Son of Carl Ludwig, the Brother Of
    The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Archduchess Sophie Franz Ferdinand, eldest son of Carl Ludwig, the brother of Emperor Franz Josef, was born in 1863. Educated by private tutors, he joined the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1883. In 1889, the succession passed to Franz Ferdinand's father, Carl Ludwig. When he died in 1896, Franz Ferdinand became the new heir to the throne. In 1899, Franz Ferdinand married Sophie von Chotkovato, who would bear him three children. The 1908 Austrian annexation of Bosnia was unpopular with the Bosnian people, who also disliked the Archduke immensely. Franz Ferdinand's unpopularity was also related to the policies he intended to apply once he assumed the throne. He proposed to replace Austro- Hungarian dualism with 'trialism,' a triple monarchy in which the empire's Slavic peoples would have an equal voice in government with the Germans and Magyars (Hungarians). This would undermine any hope for independence by the many minorities of Austria-Hungary. In 1913 Franz Ferdinand was appointed Inspector General of the Austro-Hungarian Army. In the summer of 1914, General Oskar Potiorek, Governor of the Austrian provinces of Bosnia- Herzegovina, invited the Inspector of the Armed Forces to watch his troops on maneuvers. Franz Ferdinand agreed, deciding to visit Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia- Herzegovina. The inspection was scheduled for June 28, 1914. It was planned that Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie would be met at the station and taken by car to the City Hall where they would have lunch before going to inspect the troops. Franz Ferdinand was perhaps unaware of the historical significance of the day he chose to visit in Sarajevo.

  • 1 O N July 23, 1914, the Habsburg Monarchy of Austria-Hungary
    1 onJuly 23, 1914, the Habsburg monarchy of Austria-Hungary presented an ultimatum to the neigh- boring kingdom of Serbia that was designed to be unacceptable.' The funda- mental issue in the international crisis that followed was whether the Austro-Serbian standoff would trigger a showdown between the two great European blocs: the Central Powers of Austria-Hungary and Germany, and the Triple Entente of Russia, France, and Britain.' The events of 1914 remain a crucial test for any theory of the origins of modern wars, and pivotal among the issues that they raise is that of how far technical military considerations determine security policy. With this in mind, scholars have focused their attention on the thesis propounded at the time by German Chancellor Theo- bald von Bethmann Hollweg, namely, that the July 1914 crisis got "out of David Stevenson is Senior Lecturer in International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

  • Kriegsfall Serbien« Als Willenstherapie
    Aufsatz Jürgen Angelow Der »Kriegsfall Serbien« als Willenstherapie. Operative Planung, politische Mentalitäten und Visionen vor und zu Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges Obwohl die Literatur zu den Ursachen des Ersten Weltkrieges einschließlich der be- reits im Frieden vorbereiteten operativen Eröffnungszüge inzwischen Legion ist1, sind schwerwiegende Defizite der historischen Deutung geblieben. Insbesondere hat der Versuch einer Rekonstruktion des angeblich rationalen militärischen Ent- scheidungshandelns ans Licht gebracht, daß in den militärischen Planungsstäben offenbar viel weniger nach vernunftgemäßen Kriterien entschieden würde als an- genommen. Nun nimmt aber weder die chronologisch-narrative Darstellungsform, jene im angelsächsischen Sprachraum mit den Worten »to tell a true story« be- schriebene Erzählung von Geschichte in ihrer zeitlichen Abfolge, und schon gar nicht der ausschließlich systematisch-analytische Zugriff mit seiner vorherrschen- den strukturgeschichtlichen Betrachtung - der stets rationales, interessengeleite- tes Handeln als Prämisse zugrunde legt - mentale und psychologische Disposi- tionen, mithin irrationale Faktoren ausreichend zur Kenntnis.

  • The Long Shadow of the “Just War,” 1914–2018
    Chapter 6 AUSTRIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY AND PERSPECTIVES ON WORLD WAR I The Long Shadow of the “Just War,” 1914–2018 Oliver Rathkolb Y•Z Remembrance of the World War as an Ambivalent Lieu de Mémoire in Austria After the collapse of the Habsburg Empire, the Republic of Austria, whose integration into the German Reich had been refused by the Allies, was condemned to be a “small country against its will.” Yet the sense of lost greatness and of the glorious past of an empire of fi fty mil- lion people lingered, providing the backdrop against which the Austrian memory culture of the interwar years was played out. Two elements dom- inated this memory after 1919–20: the heroism of the Austrian soldiers on the one hand, and their suffering on the other. It was primarily the conservative forces in the postwar culture (which had fallen into two to three camps) that dominated the discourse about heroic masculinity in World War I and demanded the remilitarization of the society in view of the border confl icts with Italy and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. These forces quickly organized themselves into rightist-conservative and for the most part antidemocratic networks, primarily in the paramilitary Home Guard (Heimwehr) or in various veterans’ associations.

Austrian Historiography and Perspectives on World War I • 193 brought together Christian socialists and “Greater Germany” backers as well as many former offi cers, most of whom had experienced a total loss of their previous social status.1 The social democrats, on the other hand, stuck with the line that World War I had been a crime and a political mistake, and remained silent about their own sustained enthusiasm for the war and their loyalty to the House of Habsburg.
