Abstract
In 1919, Hungary was a country in ruins. The fin de siècle optimism described at the beginning of this book had all but vanished. The end of the war also delivered a deathblow to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In a proclamation issued on 11 November 1918, the last Habsburg Emperor and King of Hungary, Charles I (IV), recognized his Austrian subjects’ right to ethnic self-determination. Within a week, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was no more; two separate states, the Republic of German-Austria and the Hungarian Democratic Republic, emerged from its demise.
