When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War,
the sacrifice of one million men who had died fighting for the
Habsburg monarchy now seemed to be in vain. This book is the first
of its kind to analyze how the Great War was interpreted,
commemorated, or forgotten across all the ex-Habsburg territories.
Each of the book's twelve chapters focuses on a separate region,
studying how the transition to peacetime was managed either by the
state, by war veterans, or by national minorities. This "splintered
war memory," where some posed as victors and some as losers, does
much to explain the fractious character of interwar Eastern Europe.
