The Dissolution of Austria-Hungary (Re-upload)

[@amirmichaelroyer]

Happy to see this re uploaded, the dissolution of Austria Hungary is usually never discussed in any sufficient depth or detail even in deep historical lectures or discussions regarding the outcomes of WWI, at least in my opinion

[@TJR93]

To me, WW1 feels ignored in general. In any circle or discussion.

[@rubensano4860]

@@amirmichaelroyer true that. It's an oddly hard topic to find books on

[@davidgoebel3567]

@@AnalwreckageAustria Hungary is particularly difficult to find source material for because of the multilingual nature of the empire. So many sources with varying languages it can be a lot to piece together.

I can tell you that in southern Poland there is still very positive, nostalgic sentiment towards AH

[@kurkkamambusu4063]

@@piotrmoszumanski6424 it is funny that this phenomenon happens in a lot of countries. I am an austrian and in our building complex we have a nice relationship to other parents (and of course our kids too) But the fun fact is, we are austrians, romanians, bosnian serbs and hungarians. But all are within the borders of the empire from 1914. So i can state, the old empire lives again in our little community ;)

Thanks for A-H history lesson other than the German movie Sissy and world war one I was stuck in the middle ages. Thanks ever so much from old New Orleans 😇 !

So this is why Lavader posted an AM meme.

[@conovan5081]

I wish I had more to say but I guess I'll just keep thanking you for your work, God bless.

[@aaronfire359]

Agreed! 👍

[@AmericanImperium1776]

Well this is a nice Friday surprise. Austria/Austria-Hungary is definitely my favorite Empire to learn about. Hail Franz Joseph and Blessed Karl! 🫡

[@Hruljina]

How I miss this empire as a Bosniak and the deep reverence I have for it and Franz Joseph. May they rest in peace. We weren’t worthy

[@Hruljina]

@@Excelnaught-f4b agreed! Sadly, no one asked us what we wanted, we got “liberated”

[@SuicideJones33]

You can't miss something you never had. Wonder if you'd have felt the same had you lived under it? Not that what followed was particularly great. But it wasn't this land of milk and honey like Stefan Zweig liked to remember it as. And Franz Josef wasn't even all that competent of a ruler. Not to mention the staff at the time of the outbreak of WWI. Calamitously incompetent

[@hazchemel]

Wow, so very interesting and a little surprising. Lol

[@AmericanImperium1776]

You’re a Bosnian, do you watch Lavader?

[@Hruljina]

@@AmericanImperium1776 I do. I went to school with him.

Thank you. Will watch tonight

Anywhere we can find the maps you used? It's good enough to post audio-wise, but the supplemental material may help viewers.

Es cierto que, en un principio, los Habsburgo fueron recibidos con desconfianza por los españoles (llevando a la revuelta de las Comuneros de Castilla entre 1520 y 1522). Pero muy rápidamente se "españolizaron". El mismo Carlos eligió España para pasar sus últimos años de vida. Los siguientes monarcas fueron considerados plenamente españoles. De hecho, los.movimientos conservadores y catolicos nacionalistas del siglo XX en España e incluso en Hispanoamerica tienen una fuerte tendencia a condiderar al periodo Habsburgo como una especie de "edad dorada" y a la propia dinastía como la verdadera gran dinastía hispánica tradicional. Esto es en contraposición a los Borbones, a quienes se relaciona más con Francia, el centralismo, la ilustración y la masonería / liberalismo.

[@Earl-z3t]

Amen.

[@erics7992]

Finding a way to put up the maps would be helpful

[@Jojonogogo]

The overstatement of the enmity between the old Emperor and his nephew on your part is an odd bit, what makes you put it so strongly? I find it to be one of the more contentious of your points in this video.

[@misatohair]

Love the video. 56:10 one question, what is an Evolian Ghiberline King? I got a general idea from how you compared it to Franz Josef though i wonder which book evola talked about that and how he described it

[@faustinae3927]

It would be awesome if you could upload photos and maps. Thank you ❤

[@picklerick8785]

The Habsburgs fell because they chose to wear those ridiculous tubes on their heads. The straight kepi might be the stupidest looking military cap ever invented. That's the true reason Austria-Hungary fell.

[@AmericanImperium1776]

Personally, I like it, but to each his own. 👍

[@tuckerbugeater]

@@AmericanImperium1776 Who picked the Habsburgs to succeed in the first place? Because we know who was behind Napoleon and he was the beginning of the end for them.

[@Jack_Stafford]

Oh the Beret is by far the worst military cap, it never looks uniform and neat, which is ironic because that's kind of the point of having a uniform; for having a consistent look among the troops. But Berets always look sloppy saggy and silly. Thankfully many militaries that have tried it have abandoned it.

[@marianocuevillas8601]

The pickelhaube was, clearly, the most ridicoulus piece of military headwear ever.

[@AmericanImperium1776]

The Habsburg Empire: A New History by Pieter M. Judson and Blessed Charles of Austria by Charles Coulombe are pretty good. 👍

For God and Kaiser. Dolfuss and Austrian patriot also covers a bit of the interwar period with Charles the blessed

[@nocomment5705]

Serbia expanded to the Alps, but internally simulated unification with the "State of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes"(which had no real control over the territory it proclaimed) formed in Zagreb in order to expand easier. But the unification with the Croats themselves was in the Croat interest as the ideology of Yugoslavism was a Croatian invention/ideology. After all, they got the Serbs to take Dalmatia for them in WWI(and Istria in WWII). Serbia and Serbs left Yugoslavia smaller and weaker and their identity narrower than it has been before creating Yugoslavia. Creating Yugoslavia was the greatest Serbian mistake, instead they should have just annexed the historical and ethnic Serbian areas, which were offered to it in the Treaty of London(1915).

I loved the way the Hungarians were portrayed in Parsifal - living in mud huts - wearing skins and homespun - no eating utensils - even the royals.

[@ra8784]

AA & AM, top notch! 😎

[@kenanmdavis]

to preface, I enjoy learning from AM quite a lot - but let’s be real. Both here are confused about Marxism and Historical Materialism. Nothing within such an analysis is ever a matter of, as the more confused individual here says “purely class interests”. The matter at hand is always dialectical. I’ll keep it short, but this may suffice to get a sense across: “Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.”

[@davycrockett1112]

Hungarian treachery was rewarded

[@alexhubble]

1:17:06 'Germans aren't liberal people' I know AA doesn't like modern 'liberals' in the what's-your-pronouns sense. I know he's an intelligent man. So the confusion of those liberals and liberals in Germany who were trying not to get ruled by a feudal relic must be a routine, yes?

[@Souledex]

Even then, it’s not like we’re going to fall to fascism cause of them. The main reason they are bad is sufficient stupid or traditionalist people hate them that there will be reactionaries against them. Unfortunately same is true back then even as most of the issues changed, they won’t murder communists, and so they get murdered by those who would or later they betray communists who are betraying their own ideals to monopolize power. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater as opposed to, dolling out rights haphazardly as long as they aren’t a threat to their divine (and incredibly weak) authority. It’s interesting to see yesteryears stable social order under Metternich but if we are giving that credit the liberal international order of today lasted 2 or 3 times as long, toppled an empire without a war, allows differences without ruining the world over them. Definitely it’s historical perspective should always be critiqued from others angles but it’s lived reality happened, on the second go around.
