Transatlantic Relations and the Great War explores the relations
between the Danube Monarchy of Austria-Hungary and the modern US
democracy and how that relationship developed over decades until it
ended in a final rupture. As the First World War drew to a close in
late 1918, the Mid-European Union was created to fill the vacuum in
Central and Eastern Europe as the old Danube Monarchy of
Austria-Hungary was falling apart. One year before, in December
1917, the United States had declared war on Austria-Hungary and,
overnight, huge masses of immigrants from the Habsburg Empire
became enemy aliens in the US. Offering a major deviation from
traditional historiography, this book explains how the countdown of
mostly diplomatic events in that fatal year 1918 could have taken
an alternative course. In addition to providing a narrative account
of Austrian-Hungarian relations with the US in the years leading up
to the First World War, the author also demonstrates how an almost
total ignorance of the affairs of the Dual Monarchy was to be found
in the US and vice versa. This book is a fascinating and important
resource for students and scholars interested in modern European
and US history, diplomatic relations, and war studies.
