Moreover, he delivers conferences around the world on financial derivatives and asset management using derivative or structured financial products. .

The Habsburg Monarchy Makes Peace (1606)
Volume 1. From the Reformation to the Thirty Years War, 1500-1648 Rebels and Ottomans – The Habsburg Monarchy Makes Peace (1606) War and peace between the Ottoman sultans and the Holy Roman emperors was a major strand of Imperial history from the Ottomans’ first invasion of Hungary in 1526 to their decisive defeat at Imperial hands in Vienna in 1683. In contested Hungary, there were alternating periods of serious campaigning (1526-47, 1593-1606, 1663-83) and long, negotiated truces (1547-93, 1606-63). In its early phase, this contest played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation, for it provided the Protestant princes with a tactic that became a policy: no taxes without concessions on religion. During the next decades, some saw the Ottoman threat as a more or less welcome Habsburg problem, others as a threat to the Empire. Financial and symbolic goods played an important role in this rhythm. For example, the peace of 1547, which was renewed in 1562 and 1590, contained passages in which the Holy Roman emperor acknowledged the Ottoman overlordship of Hungary and agreed to pay the sultans 30,000 Venetian ducats per year in tribute. Between major campaigns, the respective positions were held by two heavily fortified systems of defense. On the Habsburg side, the defensive line was called “the military frontier” and was manned by Croats, Vlachs, and Serbs who were both free farmers and resident warriors. Trading across the frontier was a reality, but so were raids in strength, which sometimes presaged major outbreaks of all-out war. One such incident occurred in 1592, when Emperor Rudolph II sent a large force to the front and helped spark the so-called Long War.

Magyar Front Fall 2020
© Vol. XXII, No. 4 FALL 2020 UPDATING OUR 1956 HUNGARIAN REVOLUTION COMMEMORATIVE PUBLICATION Plus: Revisiting Imperial Yesterdays And: A Little Treasure from the Frontline Fighters’ Association CZINK COLLECTION www.NewFront.ca A note from the Editor Since the pandemic has freed up more spare time for me, I have set about tackling a few projects that have been on the back burner. One of them was to make my 2006 publication Rise Up! The 1956 Hungarian Revolution – A People’s Sacrifice available digitally online. The original hard copy was produced in black and white, so I thought it was about time to give it a little clean-up and present the material in colour. A decade-and-a-half ago I spent a year going over it with a fine-toothed comb, and reading it again now, I still feel that it is a good publication with a unique and useful perspective, however, my main reason for carrying on with its digitalization is because I think it’s still relevant. The nature of historical study, I believe, is that it is a science that is inherently incomplete – going over it regularly and viewing it from other angles can often yield more in-depth knowledge. I hope that readers will always find this publication worthy of discussion and criticism, and perhaps even note that it is a document that also contains something useful between the lines. The new version will be available for downloading on our website. MAGYAR FRONT This issue of the Magyar Front contains two articles from that publication with some VOLUME XXII, ISSUE 4 new material which I think will please the history buff and collector, and I thank Ágnes FALL 2020 Makai again for her excellent article on the badge of the National Guard.

Pietas Austriaca? the Imperial Legacy in Interwar and Postwar Austria
religions Article Pietas Austriaca? The Imperial Legacy in Interwar and Postwar Austria Dieter A. Binder ID Chair of Cultural Studies, Andrássy University, Pollack Mihály tér 3, 1088 Budapest, Hungary; [email protected] Received: 7 July 2017; Accepted: 21 August 2017; Published: 29 August 2017 Abstract: This paper aims to outline the specific Habsburg character of Austrian Catholicism through a study of Pietas Austriaca, the supposed Habsburg tradition of Catholic piety, and its role in the First and Second Austrian Republics. It analyzes the narrative of Austrian history presented by the Heldendenkmal, or Heroes’ Monument, which was erected in Vienna in 1934. Further, it argues that Pietas Austriaca was linked in the postwar period to a notion of Heimat (Home, Homeland) and served the needs of Austrian political Catholicism, which was seeking to recruit former National Socialists. Keywords: Habsburg; Austria; empire; Catholicism; Pietas Austriaca; Christian Social Party; Austrian People’s Party; Heimat; Heldendenkmal Political Catholicism utilised its commitment to the concept of Pietas Austriaca to define its political position towards both Social Democratic Austro-Marxism and National Socialism. After 1945, the Roman Catholic Church served as a vehicle for the denazification of former National Socialists. By creating the “Heimat”, it endeavoured to establish a common front against Social Democracy in order to implement a masked bourgeois bloc. Ultimately, this would to some extent explain the rise of the Austrian Freedom Party from 1986 on. “The Pietas Austriaca, i.e., Austrian piety—referring here to Austria as Casa d’Austria, i.e., the House of Austria, and not as a geopolitical entity—was propagated in the Baroque era as the most fundamental virtue of the Habsburg dynasty.

This situation has made the search for a single Austro-Hungarian identity so difficult that many historians have declared it impossible. Yet the Dual Monarchy possessed one potentially unifying cultural aspect that has long been critically neglected: the extensive repertoire of marches and patriotic music performed by the military bands of the Imperial and Royal Austro- Hungarian Army. This Militärmusik actively blended idioms representing the various nationalist musics from around the empire in an attempt to reflect and even celebrate its multinational makeup.

Hungarian Nationalist Narratives and Public Memory of Francis Joseph
Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Hungarian Nationalist Narratives and Public Memory of Francis Joseph Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Thomas Andrew Szigeti, B.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2015 Thesis Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor David Hoffman Jessie Labov Copyright by Thomas Andrew Szigeti 2015 Abstract This thesis explores nationalist narratives and public memory of Francis Joseph and the Habsburg era in Hungary. In this work, Budapest’s Liberty Bridge serves as a lens and reference point of sorts in my examination of nationalist historical narratives and public memory of Francis Joseph and the era of the Dual Monarchy in Hungary. In particular, this paper will trace the way in which ruling governments have attempted to impose their own versions of history onto the public spaces of Budapest and into the minds of their citizens. Beginning with the years following the 1848 revolution, this thesis looks at changes in the memory of Francis Joseph during the Dual Monarchy, the Horthy era, and the Socialist era, ending with a discussion of Francis Joseph in modern Hungarian society. In Budapest, the reason that the Liberty Bridge never regained its pre-Socialist era name is due to a lack of popular positive memory of Francis Joseph, in contrast to several other important Hungarian historical figures. In the contested field of Hungarian national narrative the memory of Francis Joseph never truly found its place; for while he did gain a significant degree of popularity in the later decades of his reign, Hungary’s longest-ruling monarch never gained a place in the country’s imagination.

Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.
