Austrian Battleships in World War I Austrian Battleshipsin World War I Th. p.uposeof this exhibit is to conduct a postal study of one of the world's more obscurefleets of battleships,that of the Austro-HungarianEmpire. For centuriesAustria was one of the most powerful nationsin Europe,but by the end of the 19th Centuryits power was waning, despitethe 1867union with I{ungary.lts royal family resistedthe democraticreforms that sweptmost of the restof Europe,and World War I beganin Austria with the assassinationof a memberof the royal family. In the war, Austria was allied with Germanyand Turkey againstBritain and France,later joined by Itaty andthe United States.With seacoastson the Adriatic andBlack Seas,Austria brought a powerful navy to the war. Its fleet of 16 battleshipswas basedin the Adriatic, oppositeold enemyItaly. Although there were many skirmishesin the Adriatic, pre-warstrategies had neveraddressed the questionof what to do if the enemy'sbattle fleet would not come out and fight. Throughoutmost of the war, Austria's battleships,well awareof the potentialthreat allied against them,remained secure at their protectedbases, and no greathigh seasbattle ever took place.Nevertheless, the verSzexistence of thesemighty shipsforced the Allies to devoteconsiderable resources to keepingthem there- a classicexample of the "Fleetin Being." 5.i|1.!(illrr,,|{nl5iRilnRt!l: Ali l6 battleshipsare represented here by postmarks,censor and other types of ship'smarkings.

  • P. Lucchi Pola E Viribus Unitis
    1 LA PIAZZAFORTE DI POLA E L’AFFONDAMENTO DEL VIRIBUS UNITIS. Patrizia Lucchi Vedaldi 1) PREMESSA. 2) DAL 26 OTTOBRE AL 1° NOVEMBRE. 3) ANCORA SULL’AFFONDAMENTO DEL VIRIBUS UNITIS. 4) L’OCCUPAZIONE DELLA PIAZZAFORTE IN NOME DEGLI ALLEATI. 1) PREMESSA. Affrontando la genesi e l’esecuzione dell’impresa di Pola del 1° novembre 1918, credo sia necessario sfatare una leggenda creata dai detrattori degli italiani e che ancora oggi ogni tanto viene riproposta1, con la quale si è tentato di far credere che l’affondamento del Viribus Unitis fosse avvenuto quando già l’Italia sapeva che la flotta imperiale era stata consegnata, per accordo, al nascente Stato degli Sloveni, Croati e Serbi. Ques’ultimo, peraltro, in gran segreto, stava tradendo quanto pattuito con il Regno dei Serbi a Corfù il 20 luglio 1917. Preciso che nessuno degli autori da me consultati riporta tutti i fatti che sto per presentare. Pertanto ho cercato di ricomporre gli eventi, intersecando vari studi e documenti. Ne è emerso un quadro interessante, grazie anche a una fonte inedita: i fogli di servizio (Hautptgrundbuchsblatt) di 27 marinai di Neresine, sull’ isola di Lussino, che vennero “liquidati” (zuerkannt) già il 27 ottobre. Se ci rifacciamo alle date, innanzi tutto rilevo che data solo 28 ottobre la comunicazione ufficiale con la quale si portava a conoscenza degli equipaggi il fatto che si intendeva concedere licenze illimitate a chi ne 1 Jane Hathaway, Rebellion, Repression, Reinvention, Greenwood Publishing Group, 2001, p. 205; Achille Rastelli, L’affondamento della SMS VIRIBUS UNITIS, Quaderni, vol.

It is our responsibility that we leave a liveableReader habitat behind for our children and grandchildren. We must not take anything away from it, on the contrary, we should add what we can to pass on more than we inherited. The danger of radical climate change on Earth is one of the most menacing environmental issues of our age. As early as 1955, John Neumann, in his controversial article “Can We Survive Technology?”, warned of the extraordinary dangers of the growing extent to which mankind was destroying nature. There is more and more cause for concern, as probably never before in history has the Earth witnessed faster environmental change than today. Many international surveys indicate that global climate change may afflict mankind more than all the wars or other international conflicts. Global warming disrupts the flora and fauna, the ice cap is melting, and bears no longer hibernate. The forecasts, and more and more frequently current reports as well, speak of extreme heat, hitherto unparalleled droughts, hurricanes and forest fires. Will migration due to wars and lack of sustenance be superseded by migration caused by climate change? Growing concern for and interest in the problems of nature have become palpable in many walks of life.

Dr. Humberto de Oliveira opened the festivities by welcoming all of the gathered societies, and between the main course and dessert, each nation’s society’s representative was asked to say a few words. There was an exchange of tokens of appreciation from the gathered societies to the Portuguese society, some of which were quite humorous.

Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author. A Fleet in Being: Austro-Hungarian Warships of WWI Introduction From 1904 to 1913, Admiral Graf Rudolf Montecuccoli was Commander in Chief of the Austro- Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine (Imperial and Royal War Fleet). Montecuccoli was a driving force behind the modernisation of the fleet, in which he was helped by support from Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was succeeded in 1913 by Admiral Anton Haus, who became the only active duty officer not a member of the Imperial house to be given the rank of Grand Admiral, in 1916. He died of pneumonia in February 1917 and was succeeded as commander in chief by Admiral Maximilian Njegovan. After the mutiny at Cattaro, Njegovan was retired on the 1st of March 1918, replaced by Rear Admiral Miklós Horthy. The navy's main ports were Pola, Trieste, and Cattaro, while the Naval Academy was in Fiume. The navy's ships were supplied primarily by Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino (STT) in Trieste, Cantiere Navale Triestino (CNT) in Monfalcone, Whitehead in Fiume, and Danubius (a company set up and subsidised by the Hungarian government) also based in Fiume.

Negli anni successivi nacque una discussione sulla necessità bellica di questa azione, considerando il fa tto che erano in corso le tra/lati ve di resa fra l'impero austro-ungarico, in via di disfacimento e il Regno d'Italia. in effetti l'operazione era progettata da tempo, ma l'accelerazione alla sua realizzazione pare sia stata imposta da motivi internialla Regia Marina sia da motivi politici più generali:infa tti la flotta austro-ungarica risultava essere diventata fa r parte di un non ancora costituito Regno dei Serbi, Croati e Sloveni. Se il Regno di Serbia era un alleato durante la guerra, gli altri due popoli risultavano fa r parte dell'Impero austro-ungarico, per cui nazionalità sconfille e questo "pas­ saggio di proprietà " appariva come un tentativo di sottrarre la flotta della nazione sconfitta al suo destino di preda bellica italiana. Questa ricerca intende fa re un po' di chiarezza, grazie anche a nuovi documenti trovati all'Uffi cio Storicodella Marina italiana, su questa controver­ sia che, sebbene vecchia di 90 anni, non è mai stata affrontata in modo esauriente.
