Vast Alpine regions, rivalling in their grandeur the mountain monarchs of Switzerland, contrast with wide-spreading plains that, from their very immensity, are almost equally awe- inspiring. Majestic rivers, rock-bound lakes and mountain torrents, boundless forests and treeless 2 Austro-Hungarian Life wastes, picturesque hills and verdant, flower-filled valleys, luxuriant meadows, laughing cornland, and heavily loaded vineyards, all pass before us in review. Nothing is wanting to recall to the mind almost every phase of human life and human pas- sion, —the heroic daring of the mountaineer, the love of liberty and impatience of external control among the races that so long ranged at will over the wide-spread plains, the laborious life of the cultivator of those endless tracts of cornland, and, above all, the element of romance, the very breath of music and poetry that seems in Austria-Hun- gary to float around the stupendous mountains and penetrate the recesses of the densest forests. It seems, indeed, as if Nature herself had pro- vided, in the physical characteristics of the coun- try, a fitting arena for the romantic and too often tragic drama that forms the history of the Aus- tro-Hungarian peoples during the last thousand years. Through those mountain gorges, over those wide plains, or along the silent highway of the Danube, for many centuries tribe after tribe of Asiatic races poured into this corner of South- eastern Europe. Through Austria- Hungary, too, passed many of the armies of the Crusaders, men from almost every land in Christendom, march- ing eastward for the liberation of Palestine. Austria was the meeting-place of East and West, and upon its plains, and among its mountains and forests, was fought out the long life-and-death Land and People 3 struggle that saved Europe from the horrors of an Asiatic invasion. That contest is over. The Mongol hordes were driven back and the armies of the dreaded Ottoman Empire no • longer threaten the east of Europe; but the actors in that long tragedy still remain. And, perhaps, when we think of the part they had to play, we can understand more easily how it came to pass that the keynote of Austro-Hungarian history has always been essentially dramatic, and how this peculiar characteristic seems now to have become an inseparable element in the character of the people themselves. But Austria-Hungary is also the meeting-place of long-past ages and modern times. Side by side with all the scientific marvels of the present day, we meet at every step traces of the life of by-gone centuries. Time-worn cities, towns, and castles, picturesque costumes and curious national cus- toms, all combine to carry us back from the prose of the twentieth century to the romance and poetry of an earlier age. But it is not only the romantic beauty of the country, its troubled past, and the survival of modes of existence that have disappeared else- where, that render the life of the Austro-Hun- garian peoples exceptionally interesting. Not less striking than the contrasting physical features of their land is the strange assemblage of races that inhabit the Dual Monarchy. And here it will be well to remind the reader that the expression 4 Austro-Hungarian Life "Austro-Hungarian," though it is the only, name we can give to the dominions of the Emperor Francis Joseph, is apt to be somewhat misleading. The Germanic Austrians and the Hungarians, or Magyars, taken together, form less than half the total population. The majority of the Austro- Hungarian peoples, therefore, belong to races which are neither "Austrian" nor "Hungarian," properly so called. Most of them are of Slavonic origin; but they, too, are broken up into numer- ous races, more or less distinct from one another in language, religion, and habits of life. Czechs, Croatians and Servians, Ruthenes, Poles, Slo- vaks, and Austrian-Bulgarians are all Slavonic races, nearly akin to, and sometimes identical with, others who dwell beyond the frontiers of Austria-Hungary. Quite separate from all these are races more nearly allied to the Latin group, such as the Roumanians or Wallachians and Italians in part of the Austrian Tyrol and the Coast-lands. Nor are these all. There are, be- sides, over two million Jews, and considerable fragments of other races—Greeks, Turks, and Gipsies. The influences which in our own country converted the Anglo-Saxon, Danish, Celtic, and other races into the homogeneous English people are, and have almost always been, entirely want- ing in the Austro-Hungarian dominions. Among these numerous races local patriotism is a far stronger passion than that which unites them to Land and People the Empire as a whole. From the Middle Ages until the eighteenth century the strongest bond of union for most of the nationalities was the dread of absorption by their Asiatic foes. It is, indeed, but little more than two centuries since Vienna itself was besieged for the last time by the Turks. Grouped together upon the very threshold of the Eastern world, the full fury of the Mongol and subsequently of the Ottoman invasions burst first of all upon the hapless peoples who inhabited what is now the eastern half of the Austro-Hun- garian monarchy. We must bear this fact in mind, or we shall fail to grasp the real origin and the significance of many of the picturesque customs, the traditional modes of life, and the national and religious feelings which are so deeply rooted among the people. It was not love for their Teu- tonic neighbours that led the Magyar and Slav- onic races to place themselves under the protection of the German rulers of the Austrian dominions. The Austrian rule in those days seemed to them but a shade better than that of the Turks, and hatred both for their Moslem enemies and their Teutonic protectors intensified yet more strongly their devotion to their own respective national- ities, religions, and customs. The danger of absorption by Turkey has long passed away, but another has arisen in the grow- ing power of the Russian and German Empires— " " the heirs-presumptive to the Austrian domin- ions, should that strange agglomeration of states 6 Austro-Hungarian Life ever fall to pieces. The great popularity of the Emperor, due to the wise policy he has adopted, is unquestionably a powerful bond of union, but it in no way diminishes the mutual hostility and jealousy of these diverse races. Their local pa- triotism lies at the root even of their loyalty to their Sovereign. If Francis Joseph is beloved by his people, their loyal devotion is not felt for the " " Emperor," but for the Sovereign of the King- " dom," or Duchy," to which they belong. From yet another point of view the position of Austria-Hungary is altogether exceptional. In an Empire the inhabitants of which are not a nation, but a group of many different races, patriotically devoted to the interests of their own particular provinces, but profoundly jealous of one another, the ordinary difficulties of govern- ment are increased a hundredfold. In Austria- Hungary, however, they are rendered greater still by the fact that there is no race that so greatly outnumbers the others as to draw smaller nation- alities to itself by the force of natural attraction, or by so evidently occupying the foremost place in wealth and power as England, for example, does in its relations with Wales, Ireland, or even Scotland.

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2004 Supervisor: Katherine Arens This dissertation tests Benedict Anderson’s thesis about the coherence of imagined communities by tracing how Galicia, as the heart of a Polish culture in the nineteenth century that would never be an independent nation state, emerged as an historical, cultural touchstone with present day significance for the people of Europe. After the three Partitions and Poland’s complete disappearance from political maps of Europe, substitute images of Poland were sought that could replace its lost kingdom with alternate forms of national identity grounded in culture and tradition rather than in politics. Not the hereditary dynasty, not Prussia or Russia, but Galicia emerged as the imagined and representative center of a Polish culture without a state. This dissertation juxtaposes political realities with canonical literary texts that provide images of a cultural community among ethnic Germans and Poles sharing the border of Europe.

  • Social Mobility and Noble Rebellion in Early Modern Habsburg Austria1
    KARIN J. MACHARDY Social Mobility and Noble Rebellion in Early Modern 1 Habsburg Austria ABSTRACT This paper analyzes changes in the social structure of the Lower Austrian nobility in the decades before the uprising of 1618-20. The author argues that the Habsburg rulers ex.enedconsiderable injluenceon social change but were limited by structu­ ral forces, notably demographic and economic change. Nevertheless, they managed to turn events to their advantage and manipulate the transformation of the nobility 's internal structure in the hope of creating a pliable instrument of royal absolutism. The Habsburgs were less interested in creating a new nobility than in reestablishing confessional conformity, which they considered essential to strengthen their autho­ rity. However, they implemented their strategy of promoting the rise of a new Catholic upper nobility at a speed that minimized the possibility of appropriate cultural adjustmentfor Protestant nobles. Their exclusion from the benefitsof status mobility after 1609 represented an attack not only on the religion, culture, and social predominance of the Protestant nobility, but on its continued existence as an elite. This explains, the author concludes, why redefiningthe rules and channels of elite recruitment in favour of a new Catholic nobility became the focal point in the conjlict between Habsburgs and Protestant nobles. The author further suggests that the revolt of the nobility in the Austrian territories provides an excellent case study to show the complexities of social change affecting the early modern European nobility, and to reconsider the long-term social origins of early modern state breakdown. Since World War II the historiography of early modern elite opposition to central govem­ ments has been dominated by what scholars now classify as the traditional social interpre­ tation.

  • Question: Who Are the "Elite"? Answer: the Black Nobility
    Question: Who are the "elite"? Answer: The Black Nobility. Date 11-02-2021 Time 16:32:52 The black nobility is the base of the global crime syndicate that controls this planet. The black nobility or black aristocracy are the aristocratic families that sided with the papacy under Pope Pius IX after the army of the Kingdom of Italy led by the Savoy family entered Rome on September 20, 1870, overthrew the pope . and the Papal States, and took over the Quirinal Palace, and the nobles later ennobled by the Pope prior to the Lateran Treaty of 1929. Any family that produced popes for the Vatican is royalty. Most of the black nobility are Vatican royalty. The black nobility consider themselves sovereign princes. These families earned the title of "black" nobility for their relentless unscrupulousness. They used murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery and all kinds of deception on a large scale, without resisting the achievement of their objectives. The black nobility were the families that financed and created the holy corporation of the Vatican with the aim of imposing world slavery as a necessary institution, with the sole belief that some are born to rule and others to be ruled. The idea that certain families were born to rule as an arbitrary elite, while the vast majority of a given population is condemned to oppression, servitude, or slavery became the theological position of this elite. The "New World Order" is an attempt to take control of society by these fascist families with the purpose of the total slavery of humanity. The Vatican is an imperial nation and is the largest empire in this world.
