Historical Dictionary of Austria: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Historical Dictionary of Austria" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Austrians today often seem to believe that they have two histories. One is their republican present; the other, the centuries that their forebears spent as part of the multi-ethnic Habsburg Empire. Contemporary Austria is a fixture among Europes democracies. Yet, it did not achieve this state easily: World War I, the unification with Germany in 1938, and World War II were catastrophes for Austria. In 1995, it became part of the European Union, and its government, culture, and egalitarian economy are far cries from the monarchical and highly stratified society of the old Empire.
The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Austria has been thoroughly updated and greatly expanded. Through its chronology, introductory essay, appendix, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries, greater attention has been given to foreign affairs, economic institutions and policies, social issues, religion, and politics.

Editors Foreword

Even in the often-confusing patchwork of European states, few are as difficult to define as Austria. It began as a loose cluster of lands dominated by petty territorial overlords, then expanded into a massive empire whose rulers were among Europes most powerful. Its contraction in the 20th century was no less dramatic. Deprived of even some of its core lands, Austria ended up as a minor state. Its political personality has also varied considerably. Once ruled by emperors, it had to make do with prime ministers, until it was forcibly connected with the Third Reich under the Nazi dictatorship. Finally independent again, it has grown into a more mature democracy with a reasonably strong economy. Today it is an active part of the European Union. Despite this, Austria remains in some ways special, with a cultural impact that spreads far beyond its borders.
