In the wake of the First World War and Russian Revolutions, Central
Europeans in 1919 faced a world of possibilities, threats, and
extreme contrasts. Dramatic events since the end of the world war
seemed poised to transform the world, but the form of that
transformation was unclear and violently contested in the streets
and societies of Munich and Budapest in 1919. The political
perceptions of contemporaries, framed by gender stereotypes and
antisemitism, reveal the sense of living history, of 'fighting the
world revolution', which was shared by residents of the two cities.
In 1919, both revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries were
focused on shaping the emerging new order according to their own
worldview. By examining the narratives of these Central European
revolutions in their transnational context, Eliza Ablovatski helps
answer the question of why so many Germans and Hungarians chose to
use their new political power for violence and repression.
