Vermessung einer Zeitenschwelle / Surveying a Time Threshold

Die Bedeutung des Jahres 1918 in österreichischer, europäischer und globaler Perspektive / The Importance of 1918 in an Austrian, European and Global Perspective. Beiträge des Internationalen Symposiums im November 2018

This volume is dedicated to the momentous historical threshold of 1918 and its consequences for Austria and Europe, but also for the world beyond Europe. After the end of the First World War, dealing with the consequences of the war and establishing a new peace were not the only tasks; it was also important to convert the social and political ruptures caused by the war into a new order. Great empires fell and a host of states, most of them republican, were born out of them. The United States of...

Militärische Nachrichtendienste, Spionage und Informationsbeschaffung vor dem und im Ersten Weltkrieg in Russland, Österreich-Ungarn, Deutschland und Italien

How did secret services work? How was espionage organized and what kind of sources did it use? What did European secret services look like in 1914 and what was the main focus of the “secret war”? The texts in this edited volume examine these questions from different perspectives and reflect the specific historiographies in the respective countries. They also emphasize the broad nature of “intelligence”, the paramount importance of networking, and the variety of ways information was acquired....

Si vis pacem, para bellum

The Italian Response to International Insecurity 1830–1848

It was not after 1848 but actually before this revolutionary year that Europe witnessed the abusive proceedings perpetrated by the great powers which undermined the functionality of the post-Napoleonic international order. Even worse, their abuse of power in European and overseas affairs provoked a feeling of mistrust, pessimism and fear and led to discussions about the disappearing justice from the world among a considerable number of Europeans. By the 1840s, under the influence of various...

Die polnische Frage und der Wiener Kongress 1814–1815

After the third partition of Poland-Lithuania, which was tantamount to the demise of the Commonwealth (1795), and the Napoleonic Wars, the future of the Polish territories in the 19th century was decided during the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815). After Napoleon Bonaparte lost power, the Russian Tsar Alexander I became the new hope of the Poles who dreamed of re-establishing their independent state. The Tsar ruled over the territory of the Russian partition, which was now also called the Kingdom...

Internationale Geschichte in Theorie und Praxis / International History in Theory and Practice

Today’s processes of internationalization and globalization present a challenge to the discipline of history as well. It has become clear that the paradigm of the nation-state as the dominant historiographical model is no longer tenable. Against this background, several historiographical approaches have become apparent that go beyond national borders in both the questions asked and the methods used. These include not only transnational and global history, but also source-based International...

Österreich und die DDR 1949‒1990

Politik und Wirtschaft im Schatten der deutschen Teilung

Based on research in numerous archives, this book is the first systematic overview on Austrian–East German relations in the Cold War. Starting with the diverging developments in Austria and Germany after World War II, it analyzes in the first instance contacts and relations in the period of non-recognition prior to 1972. Out of consideration for West German interests, official relations to the GDR were taboo. Nevertheless, intense unofficial diplomatic and hitherto unknown political contacts...

This book gives an overview over the national revolutions and external reactions. It contains chapters on the revolutions in all major countries of the former communist bloc as well as on the responses of all major international players. The first part examines the revolutionary events – from...
