The biggest consists of the Alps,[a] which covers 62.8% of the country's landmass. However Rudolf was unsuccessful in ensuring the succession to the imperial throne for the Dukes of Austria and Styria. Nationalist strife increased during the decades until 1914. This led to the dismissal of Francis's chief minister, Philipp von Cobenzl, and his replacement with Franz Maria Thugut in March 1793.[57]. Mariana of Austria (Spanish: Mariana de Austria) or Maria Anna (24 December 1634 – 16 May 1696) was the queen consort of her uncle Philip IV of Spain from their marriage in 1649 until Philip died in 1665. From around 1600 the Habsburg policy of recatholicization or Catholic Renewal (Rekatholisierung) eventually led to the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). Joseph's accession marks a major break since the preceding reforms under Maria Theresa had not challenged these structures, but there was no similar break at the end of the Josephinian era. His Chancellor, Mercurino Gattinara remarked in 1519 that he was "on the path to universal monarchy ... unite all Christendom under one sceptre"[29] bringing him closer to Frederick V's vision of AEIOU, and Charles' motto Plus ultra (still further) suggested this was his ambition. This contributed to the Allies' treating Austria more as a liberated, rather than defeated, country, and the government was recognized by the Allies later that year. [44] By the conclusion of the war in 1714 Austria had achieved a pivotal position in European power politics. This culture gave rise to the first-recorded local tribal (Taurisci, Ambidravi, Ambisontes) and place names. The Finance Minister, Karl Ludwig von Bruck killed himself. The result was a reluctant undertaking by the emperor and his chief advisor Goluchowski to return to constitutional government, culminating in the October Diploma (October 1860) establishing constitutional monarchy through a legislative assembly and provincial autonomy. This territory was finally annexed in 1908 and put under joint rule by the governments of both Austria and Hungary. The first part of the ABGB appeared in 1786, and the criminal code in 1787. The dynasty was now en route to become a world power. This page was last changed on 15 January 2021, at 16:31. Even commoners were affected by Joseph's reforms, such as a ban on baking gingerbread because Joseph thought it bad for the stomach, or a ban on corsets. Educational reform included that of Vienna University by Swieten from 1749, the founding of the Theresianum (1746) as a civil service academy as well as military and foreign service academies. In an attempt to end the turmoil a group of Austrian nobles invited the king of Bohemia, Ottokar II Přemysl, Vladislaus' brother, to become Austria's ruler in 1251. Following Schuschnigg's resignation, German troops occupied Austria with no resistance. The Danube was being regulated to reduce the risk of flooding, a new aqueduct constructed to bring fresh water into the city, and many new bridges, schools, hospitals, churches and a new university built. The borders continued to be somewhat uncertain because of plebiscites in the tradition of Woodrow Wilson. In 2005 in the same area, a double infant burial site was discovered at Krems-Wachtberg, dating from Gravettian culture (27,000 years old), the oldest burial ground found in Austria to date.[10][11]. The first mention of Ostarrîchi occurs in a document of that name dated 996 CE. The fifth Margrave, Leopold II 'The Fair' (Luitpold der Schöne) (1075–1095) was temporarily deposed by the Emperor Henry IV (1084–1105) after finding himself on the wrong side of the Investiture Dispute. However hostilities continued almost immediately till the Treaty of Constantinople of 1562 which confirmed the 1547 borders. The era of electoral reform saw the emergence of Georg von Schonerer's Pan-German League (Alldeutsche Vereinigung) (1882), appealing to an anti-clerical middle class, and Catholic social reformers such as L. Psenner and A. Latschka created the Christian Social Association (Christlich-Sozialer Verein) (1887). The allied forces eventually proved superior and the lifting of the siege was followed by a series of victories in 1687, 1687 and 1697, resulting in the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699), Belgrade having fallen in 1688 (but recaptured in 1690). Encouraged by the mid-war successes, Ferdinand II became even more forceful, leading to infamies by his armies such as the Frankenburg Lottery (Frankenburger Würfelspiel) (1625), suppression of the consequent Peasants' Revolt of 1626, and the Sack of Magdeburg (1631). From being a Duke, he became German King as Frederick IV in 1440 and Holy Roman Emperor as Frederick III (1452–1493). György Klapka had organised a legion fighting for the Prussians, which Bismarck had supported, that entered Hungary and agitated for Hungarian independence. [83] The US was also successful in helping Austrian popular culture adopt American models. The Paradoxical Republic: Austria, 1945–2005 (Berghahn Books; 2010, 301 pages). Napoleon entered Vienna itself, as much a celebrity as conqueror. The Cult Wagon of Strettweg, Styria is evidence of contemporary religious life. In the 6th century, the Bavarii, a Germanic people, occupied these lands until it fell to the Frankish Empire in the 9th century. Reformation Commissionms initiated a process of forced recatholicisation and by 1600 was being imposed on Graz and Klagenfurt. By the Treaty of Pressburg, Austria was forced to give up large amounts of territory—Dalmatia to France, Venetia to Napoleon's Kingdom of Italy, the Tyrol to Bavaria, and Austria's various Swabian territories to Baden and Württemberg, although Salzburg, formerly held by Francis's younger brother, the previous Grand Duke of Tuscany, was annexed by Austria as compensation. The Green Party managed to establish itself in parliament from 1986 onwards. This flourishing culture is reflected in the grave artifacts, such as at Pitten, in Nußdorf ob der Traisen, Lower Austria. In 1808, when Emperor Francis II of Austria dissolved the Holy Roman Empire, Austria became the Austrian Empire, and was also part of the German Confederation until the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. Of the lands now part of the second Republic of Austria, many were added over time – only two of the nine provinces or Bundesländer (Lower Austria and Upper Austria) are strictly 'Austria', while other parts of its former sovereign territory are now part of other countries e.g., Italy, Croatia, Slovenia and Czechia. Dist… Only in southern Carinthia, the Slavic population maintained its language and identity until the early 20th century, when a process of assimilation reduced their number to a small minority. They include Vindobona (Vienna), Juvavum (Salzburg), Valdidena (Innsbruck), and Brigantium (Bregenz). Having persuaded Ottokar's former ally Duke Henry XIII of Lower Bavaria to switch sides, Rudolph compelled the Bohemian king to cede the four provinces to the control of the imperial administration in November 1276. As part of this trend, Austria was one of the founding members of the Danube Commission, which was formed on 18 August 1948. (See east, easternfor more.) She was then appointed regent for their three-year-old son Charles II, and due to his ill health remained an influential figure until her own death in 1696. Hohenwart was the conservative leader in parliament, and the Emperor believed his more sympathetic views to Slavic aspirations and federalism would weaken the Austro-German Liberals. It was confined to present-day southern and eastern Austria and part of Slovenia. They were only too aware that their fate was to be used as political pawns. The emperor refused to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation which was causing great hardship at home, and took over direct command of the army, though not a professional soldier. However, since he died childless the following year (1463) his possessions automatically reverted to his brother, and Frederick now controlled all of the Albertinian and Ernestine possessions. Joseph's reign was short and the war finally came to an end in 1714 by which time his brother Charles III had succeeded him. In December 1282, at the Diet of Augsburg, Rudolph invested the duchies of Austria and Styria on his sons, Albert I (1282–1308) and Rudolph II the Debonair (1282–1283) as co-rulers "jointly and severally", and so laid the foundation of the House of Habsburg. With the completion of the long running French wars a new order was required in Europe and the heads of the European states gathered in Vienna for the prolonged discussion of Europe's future, although the Congress was actually convened in September 1814 prior to Napoleon's attempted return, and completed before the Battle of Waterloo. The Americans also thoroughly revamped the radio stations, in part with the goal of countering the Soviet-controlled stations. In the cities the new economic principles of the Enlightenment called for the destruction of the autonomous guilds, already weakened during the age of mercantilism. Political parties became legitimate entities in Austria from 1848, apart from a brief lapse in the 1850s. Capital punishment was abolished in 1787, although restored in 1795. The next brother in line for succession in 1619 was Albert VII, but he was persuaded to step down in favour of Ferdinand II within a few months. He was succeeded by two of his sons jointly, William the Courteous (1386–1406) and Leopold IV the Fat (1386–1411). The emperor died on 20 February 1790 at 48, mostly unsuccessful in his attempts to curtail feudal liberties.[56]. This led to massive protests and a fire at the Justizpalast in Vienna. Leopold then concentrated on pacifying the nobility. By 1526 Ferdinand had also inherited the kingdoms of Bohemia, and Hungary after the Battle of Mohács which partitioned the latter. In the later Iron Age, the Celtic La Tène culture spread to Austria. Many reforms were in the interests of efficiency. As the fabric of the Roman Empire crumbled, the ability of Raetia, Noricum, and Pannonia to defend themselves became increasingly problematic. Dollfuss escaped an assassination attempt in October 1933 by Rudolf Dertill, a 22-year-old who had been ejected from the military for his national socialist views. [18] under whom the culture of the High Middle Ages flourished, including the introduction of Gothic Art. The defeat of the Central Powers in 1918 resulted in the disintegration of Austria-Hungary, and the Emperor went into exile. In September 1986, in a confrontation between the German-national and liberal wings, Jörg Haider became leader of the FPÖ. Consequently, the two vice-presidents representing the other parties, Rudolf Ramek (Christian Social Party) and Sepp Straffner (Greater German People's Party) also resigned for the same reason. By the Battle of Valmy in September it was evident to Austria and their Prussian allies that victory against France would elude them, and Austria suffered a further defeat in November at Jemappes, losing the Austrian Netherlands (Belgium). This gradually transitioned into the Celtic La Tène culture. One such method was to employ indentures servants such as the Kuenringern family as Ministeriales and given considerable military and administrative duties. Art Nouveau and the modern style came relatively late to Austria, around 1900, and was distinguishable from the earlier movement in other European capitals.[67]. After several initial reverses, Ferdinand II had become more accommodating but as the Catholics turned things around and began to enjoy a long string of successes at arms he set forth the Edict of Restitution in 1629 in an attempt to restore the status quo of 1555 (Peace of Augsburg), vastly complicating the politics of settlement negotiations and prolonging the rest of the war. The administrative center was at Regensburg. Using an emergency provision enacted during the First World War, the Economic War Powers Act (Kriegswirtschaftliches Ermächtigungsgesetz, KWEG 24. [17] After the Avars suffered setbacks in the east in 626, the Slavs rebelled, establishing their own territories. The Iron Age in Austria is represented by the Hallstatt culture, which succeeded the Urnfield culture, under influences from the Mediterranean civilizations and Steppe peoples. In the agreement Austria received the Innviertel from Bavaria, but for Austria it was a case of status quo ante bellum. [40] Despite concluding the Peace of Prague (1635) with Saxony, and hence the internal, or civil, war with the Protestants, the war would drag on due to the intervention of many foreign states. He dropped all pretence of Austrian reunification with Germany so long as the Nazi Party remained in power there. He ended censorship of the press and theatre. During the reign of Henry's son, Henry II (the Quarrelsome) (955–976) Otto became the first Holy Roman Emperor (962) and Bavaria became a duchy of the Holy Roman Empire. In terms of human costs, the Thirty Years' wars many economic, social, and population dislocations caused by the hardline methods adopted by Ferdinand II's strict counter-reformation measures and almost continual employment of mercenary field armies contributed significantly to the loss of life and tragic depopulation of all the German states, during a war which some estimates put the civilian loss of life as high as 50% overall. Both marches were collectively referred to as the Marcha orientalis (Eastern March), a prefecture of the Duchy of Bavaria. That on 2 April, referred to as Schlacht auf dem Exelberg (Battle of Exelberg), involved 300 Nazis against 90 Socialists (Steininger 2008). The culture is often described in two zones, Western and Eastern, through which flowed the rivers Enns, Ybbs and Inn. In 1789 he issued a charter of religious toleration for the Jews of Galicia, a region with a large, Yiddish-speaking, traditional Jewish population. He also made claim by seeking Gertrud's hand but did not have the support of the nobility. The empire now had two capitals, two cabinets and two parliaments. Maria Theresa and her regime had sought a new more direct link with the populace, now that administration was no longer to be farmed out, and this maternalism combined with cameralist thinking required taking a closer interest in the welfare of the peasantry and their protection, which transpired in the 1750s. This was a first step towards the establishment of a separate Cisleithanian legislature, on the other hand the more limited role of the diets in the February Patent, compared to the October Diploma, angered the champions of regionalism. For much of the Second Republic, the only opposition party was the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), which included German nationalist and liberal political currents. Engelbert Dollfuss accepted that most Austrians were German and Austrian, but wanted Austria to remain independent from Germany. Italy had been in a turmoil since the Congress of Vienna in 1815, with insurrections starting in 1820 (Carbonari). This Council of State (Staatsrat) was to be based on the French Conseil d'État which believed that an absolutist monarch could still be guided by Enlightenment advisors. However Frederick, although lackluster, pursued a tough and effective rule. In addition to the wars against the French, there were the wars for Swiss independence. Tyrolean line (Further Austria) 1406–1490 The Council continued intermittently until 1563. Although Austria-Hungary had been one of the Central Powers, the allied victors were much more lenient with a defeated Austria than with either Germany or Hungary. However, it lost it in 1970, when SPÖ leader Bruno Kreisky formed a minority government tolerated by the FPÖ. Critics alleged that these reforms caused a crisis of faith, reduced piety and a decline in morality, had Protestant tendencies, promoted Enlightenment rationalism and a class of liberal bourgeois officials, and led to the emergence and persistence of anti-clericalism. [21] They survived as a dynasty through good fortune and skill at power politics, in that era dominated by the continual struggle between emperor and papacy. Meanwhile, the Baroque was evolving into the less grandiose form, the Rococo. Marie was a younger sister of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, making Francis brother in law to the Emperor. Similar intolerance was displayed to the Jewish population in Bohemia and surrounding areas under the Familianten (Familiantengesetze) in 1726 and 1727. Joseph was also made co-ruler or co-regent with his mother. [59] Metternich kept a firm hand on government resisting the constitutional freedoms demanded by the liberals. To make matters worse, after executing the leaders, Leopold attempted to impose a counter-reformation, starting a religious civil war, although he made some concessions in 1681. As 1814 began, the Allied forces invaded France. Thus the Hungarians finally achieved their much of their aims. However, with continuing losses in the war he was forced to make peace in 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia, concluding the war. A clash between those groups in Schattendorf, Burgenland, on 30 January 1927 led to the death of a man and a child. Stadion was replaced by Metternich, who, although a reformer, placed loyalty to the monarch above all. He was a Habsburg, he was Duke of Inner Austria in addition to being Emperor, and, up till the previous year, had been guardian of the young Duke of Lower Austria, Ladislaus. Andrássy 's appointment caused concern among the conservative Court Party (Kamarilla), but he worked hard to restore relationships between Berlin and Vienna, culminating in the Dual Alliance (Zweibund) of 1879. Josephinism elicited grudging compliance at best, and more often vehement opposition from all sectors in every part of his empire. In 1999, the ÖVP fell back to third place behind the FPÖ in the elections. Meanwhile, religious fervor in the empire was mounting, and even Klesl by now Bishop of Vienna (1614) and Cardinal (1615) was considered too moderate by extremist Catholics, including Ferdinand II. The Romans built many cities that survive today. Also in industrial and agrarian policy along cameralist lines, the theory was to maximise the resources of the land to protect the integrity of the state. During the Neolithic era, most of those areas of Austria that were amenable to agriculture and were sources of raw materials were settled. [13] Other important towns were Virunum (north of the modern Klagenfurt), Teurnia (near Spittal), and Lauriacum (Enns). The initial divisions into Catholic, liberal, national, radical and agrarian parties differed across ethnic grounds further fragmenting the political culture. Yet another brother, Albert II the Wise (1330–1358) succeeded Frederick. While opposing Prussia and Turkey, Austria was friendly to Russia, though tried to remove Romania from Russian influence. The end of the war saw Austria, poorly prepared at its start, exhausted. However she did not become Empress immediately, that title passing to Charles VII (1742–1745) the only moment in which the imperial crown passed outside of the Habsburg line from 1440 to 1806, Charles VII being one of many who repudiated the 1713 Pragmatic Sanction. With the reign of Franz Joseph (1848–1916) came a new era of grandeur, typified by the Belle Époque style, with extensive building and the construction of the Ringstrasse in Vienna with its monumental buildings (officially opened 1 May 1865, after seven years). The Austrian Empire (German: Kaiserthum Oesterreich, modern spelling Kaisertum Österreich) was a Central European multinational great power from 1804 to 1867, created by proclamation out of the realms of the Habsburgs.During its existence, it was the third most populous empire after the Russian Empire and the United Kingdom in Europe. The Catholic response to the Protestant Reformation was a conservative one, but one that did address the issues raised by Luther. Use the FamilySearch Catalog to find microfilmed records that can be searched at your local family history center or the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Thus Austria and the Empire came under a single Habsburg crown, and after a few centuries (1438) would remain so almost continuously (see below) till 1806, when the empire was dissolved, obviating the frequent conflicts that had occurred previously. These were longstanding ideological differences (Pulzer 1969). Subsequently, Austria gained control, through the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, of the Spanish Netherlands, Naples and Lombardy. Stadion's attempts to generate popular uprisings in Germany were unsuccessful, and the Russians honoured their alliance with France, so Austria was once again defeated at the Battle of Wagram, although at greater cost than Napoleon, who had suffered his first battlefield defeat in this war, at Aspern-Essling, had expected. Emperor Franz Joseph made a speech from the throne in May to the Reichsrat (Imperial Council) asking for retroactive ratification and promising further constitutional reforms and increased autonomy to the provinces. But when Charles VI (Archduke 1711–1740) died and was succeeded by his daughter, Maria Theresa (1740–1780) Austria was perceived as weak, leading to the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748) and the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). Thus began the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748), one of the more confusing and less eventful wars of European history, which ultimately saw Austria holding its own, despite the permanent loss of most of Silesia to the Prussians. The charter abolished communal autonomy whereby the Jews controlled their internal affairs; it promoted "Germanization" and the wearing of non-Jewish clothing. On the musical scene, Johan Strauss and his family dominated the Viennese scene over the entire period, which also produced Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, Anton Bruckner, Johannes Brahms, Arnold Schoenberg, Franz Lehár and Gustav Mahler among others. These Silesian Wars initiated a long-standing tension between Austria and Prussia. In Lombardy (in northern Italy) the cautious reforms of Maria Theresa in Lombardy had enjoyed support from local reformers. Among these was cameralism which encouraged economic self-sufficiency in the nation state. Austria was forced to cede all territory occupied since 1914, plus accept the formation of new nations across most of the Empire's pre-war territory, and the allies were given access to Austria. This facilitated industrialization, as many flocked to the newly industrializing cities of the Austrian domain (in the industrial centers of Bohemia, Lower Austria, Vienna, and Upper Styria). The electoral reforms of 1882 were the most influential in that it enfranchised proportionally more Germans. The ÖVP-SPÖ coalition ended in 1966, when the ÖVP gained a majority in parliament. Among his achievements was the founding of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. Austria was divided into four occupation zones after the Second World War and then in 1955 became the independent sovereign state (Second Republic) that has existed to the present day. Austria was effectively bankrupt by 1811 and the paper money (Bancozettel) lost considerable value, but contributed an army to Napoleon's invasion of Russia in March 1812. Hungary had little support in the court at Vienna which was strongly Bohemian and considered the Hungarians as revolutionaries. The latter came to the imperial throne in 1138 in the person of Conrad III (1138–1152); the Duke of Bavaria, Henry the Proud, was himself a candidate for the imperial crown and disputed the election of Conrad, and was subsequently deprived of the Duchy, which was given to Leopold IV. Although there were procedural rules which could have been followed in this unprecedented and unforeseen event, the Dollfuss cabinet seized the opportunity to declare the parliament unable to function. Piedmont, jointly ruled with Sardinia had been the site of earlier insurrections. On Maximilian's death these domains became vast. [37] A further concession by Charles II in 1578, the Brucker Pazifikation, met with more resistance.[35]. However these fell far short of the demands of the Hungarian liberals whose minimal demands were restoration of the constitution and the emperor's separate coronation as King of Hungary. However, both liberalism and nationalism were on the rise, which resulted in the Revolutions of 1848. The Secession as originally conceived splintered in 1905 when Klimt and others left over irreconcilable differences. The conflicts weakened the Habsburgs relative to both the estates and the Protestant interests. Austria's exact future remained uncertain until formal treaties were signed and ratified. The latter term (Before March) referring to the period prior to the revolution of March 1848. It was not to be until 1665, under Leopold I that the Austrian lands were definitively united. His father had attempted to invade Austria in 1250. Widespread problems arising from war, famine unrest and abuse made implementation of landlord-peasant reforms both reasonable and reasonable. In Spring 1986, Kurt Waldheim was elected president amid considerable national and international protest because of his possible involvement with the Nazis and war crimes during World War II.

The later years of Charles's reign also saw further wars against the Turks, beginning with a successful skirmish in 1716–1718, culminating in the Treaty of Passarowitz. In return for the Liberals support of the Ausgleich, concessions were made to parliamentary prerogatives in the new constitutional law. Over the next three years Austria, whose foreign policy was now directed by Philipp Stadion, attempted to maintain peace with France, avoiding the War of the Fourth Coalition (1806–1807) but obliged to do France's bidding. Austrian governance was now to be based on primogeniture and indivisibility. Similarly the Austrian National Socialists (DNSAP) could easily become a significant minority in future Austrian elections. However the financial system in Austria remained antiquated and inadequate. During her reign, extensive reforms were initiated, and when Francis died in 1765, these were continued by her son, Joseph II (Emperor 1765–1790; Archduke 1780–1790). In 1363, the County of Tyrol was acquired by Rudolph IV from Margaret of Tyrol. Their most westward expansion was reached in 650 at the Puster Valley (Pustertal), but gradually fell back to the Enns River by 780. The reforms initiated by Joseph II had merit despite the way they were introduced. This made Austria the only defeated country to acquire additional territory as part of border adjustments. However, on the northern front Austria suffered a major military defeat at the Battle of Königgrätz in Bohemia on 3 July. Napoleon had declared himself Emperor of France in May 1804 and was busy reorganising much of the lands of the Holy Roman Empire, and looked to be assuming the title of emperor too, as a second Charlemagne. The Austrian State Treaty was signed on 15 May 1955. Austria Vabariik (saksa keeles Republik Österreich) on merepiirita riik Kesk-Euroopas, 9 liidumaast koosnev föderatsioon.. Austria piirneb läänes Liechtensteini ja Šveitsiga, lõunas Itaalia ja Sloveeniaga, idas Ungari ja Slovakkiaga ning põhjas Saksamaa ja Tšehhi Vabariigiga.Austria pindala on 83 879 km². As a result, suffrage was changed to direct election to the Reichsrat in 1873. Once again, there were initial successes against the disorganized armies of the French Republic in 1793, and the Netherlands were recovered. Three days later Italy declared war on Austria in the Third Italian War of Independence, Italy now being Prussia's ally. Remains include those of the Linear pottery culture, one of the first agrarian cultures in Europe.
