Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 225: January, 1917 April, 1917 The death of Francis Joseph enables us to regard Austria - that is to say, the Hapsburg Monarchy - without prejudice. Not even the sentimentalists who felt, or affected, special tenderness for the ´poor old Emperor´ can now extend their favour to his great-nephew. The Emperor Charles, in his thirtieth year, is too old to make any appeal to sentiment on account of his youth, and too young to command reverence by reason of his age. We are therefore able to face the Austro-Hungarian problem on its merits. It would be idle to pretend that in all the Allied countries opinion is unanimous in demanding the dismemberment of the Hapsburg Dominions. Old sayings like Palacky´s, ´If Austria had not existed it would have been necessary to invent her,´ and even epithets like 4 Austria, the lumber-room of Europe,´ have left an impression of the ´necessity´ or the ´usefulness´ of Austria that cannot easily be effaced. Besides, certain very definite interests and political conceptions arc bound up with her maintenance. Some, though by no means all, Roman Catholic circles in Allied countries hold that the disappearance of a great Catholic Monarchy would be a serious loss to the Roman Church, and that the Hapsburg Emperor ought to be preserved with as much as possible of his power and prestige lest Roman Catholicism be no longer represented by any sovereign of the first rank.
