1. 1. The Habsburg Empire

   A New History

   

   Reassesses a supposedly doomed multinational monarchy as a flexible, modernizing state that bound diverse peoples through law, schools, conscription, and bureaucracy. Tracing everyday life from borderlands to capitals, it shows how identities were situational and loyalties often imperial as much as national. It highlights negotiation and conflict among officials, activists, and subjects while avoiding teleologies of nation-state triumph. The final collapse appears less inevitable than a product of wartime crisis and contingent political choices.
