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"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Habsburg, House of -- History -- 20th century SUBJECT Habsburg, House of fast Subject War memorials -- Europe, Eastern -- History -- 20th century War memorials -- Europe, Central -- History -- 20th century Collective memory -- Europe, Eastern -- History -- 20th century Collective memory -- Europe, Central -- History -- 20th century World War, 1914-1918 -- Social aspects -- Europe, Eastern World War, 1914-1918 -- Social aspects -- Europe, Central World War, 1914-1918 -- Influence HISTORY -- Europe -- Western.
