I think it would have been interesting to see how the "peace emperor" would have reigned Larry Send a noteboard - 12/12/2012 11:39:58 AM
Wouldn't surprise me if the Habsburg Empire would have reverted to what it had been just after 1848, with a south slavic state created to balance out Hungary's domineering position in the dual monarchy. A federalized empire, which I think is what Karl I/IV proposed during the war's latter stages as a means of stopping the fighting in the east, could have worked for at least some time.

I get the impression that I would eviscerate this book and perhaps the author as well Larry - 12/12/2012 12:27:42 AM 939 Views
You almost certainly would Tom - 12/12/2012 03:39:24 AM 946 Views
