The four years of fighting during World War I destroyed the international system put into place at the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15 and led to the dissolution of some of the great old empires of Europe (Austrian-Hungarian, Ottoman, Russian). The 100th anniversary of the assassination of the Austrian successor to the throne Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife Sophie in Sarajevo unleashed the series of events that unleashed World War I. The assassination in Sarajevo, the spark that set asunder the European powder keg, has been the focus of a veritable blizzard of commemorations, scholarly conferences and a new avalanche of publications dealing with this signal historical event that changed the world. Contemporary Austrian Studies would not miss the opportunity to make its contribution to these scholarly discourses by focusing on reassessing the Dual Monarchy?s crucial role in the outbreak and the first year of the war, the military experience in the trenches, and the chaos on the homefront. 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 606 $aGeneral & world history$2bicssc 606 $a20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000$2bicssc 606 $aHistory: specific events & topics$2bicssc 606 $aFirst World War$2bicssc 607 $aAustria$xHistory$y1867-1918 615 7$aHistory 615 7$aGeneral & world history 615 7$a20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000 615 7$aHistory: specific events & topics 615 7$aFirst World War 700 $aBischof$b Gu?nter$4aut$0434731 702 $aR.
