The status of Habsburg studies in the United States could easily be described in one word: “flourishing.” Evidence for this assertion can be found in any issue of the Austrian History News Letter or its successor, the Austrian History Yearbook, or in the very fact that this conference is being held. Readily available are long lists of books and articles published by Americans on the history of the Habsburg monarchy, of dissertations completed and in progress, and of research projects contemplated and under way—all good signs of much scholarly activity.
1 For this essay I have used and benefited from three such contributions in particular: Adams, Meredith Lentz, “The Habsburg Monarchy, Austria and Hungary as treated in the Journal of Central European Affairs,” Austrian History Neivs Letter, No. 3 (1962), pp. 32–54Google Scholar; Arlie Hoover, “The Habsburg Monarchy, Austria and Hungary as treated in other U. S. Journals than the Journal of Central European Affairs,” ibid., No. 4 (1963), pp. 51–72; and the lists in “United States Publications on Austrian History” and “Doctoral Dissertations in the United States,” in the Austrian History Yearbook, Vol. I (1965), pp. 179–225.
2 I have discussed some of these in a review article on “American Books on Austria-Hungary,” which was published in the Austrian History Yearbook, Vol. II (1966), pp. 172–197. Inevitably there is considerable overlap between that study and the present essay. This essay, however, has a different scope in time (going only up to the fall of the monarchy), different criteria for inclusion and exclusion; and a different purpose. I have not attempted to revise it to include works which have appeared since it was originally presented to the Indiana University Conference in April, 1966.
3 Kaplan's, Herbert H.The First Partition of Poland (New York: Columbia University Press, 1962)Google Scholar, a competent study based on extensive archival research, contains surprisingly little on Austrian policy. Several unpublished dissertations on pre-nineteenth-century Habsburg diplomacy demonstrate that the trend in American studies may be changing. They are Toews, John B., Emperor Frederick III and his Relations with the Papacy from 1440 to 1493 (University of Colorado, 1962)Google Scholar; Rifa'at, Ali Abou-el-Haj, The Reisülkuttab and Ottoman Diplomacy at Karlowitz (Princeton University, 1963)Google Scholar; and Slottman, William B., Austro-Turk Relations: the Peace of Carlowitz and the Rákóizi Rebellion (Harvard University, 1958)Google Scholar.

8 Sweet's, Paul R. “Erich Bollman at Vienna in 1815,” The American Historical Review, Vol. XLVI, No. 3 (April, 1941), pp. 580–588CrossRefGoogle Scholar, on the origins of Austro-American trade relations; Kann, Robert A., “Metternich: a Reappraisal of his Impact on International Relations,” The Journal of Modern History, Vol. XXXII, No. 4 (December, 1960), pp. 333–339CrossRefGoogle Scholar, a thoughtful interpretation; and my own “Austria as an Obstacle to Italian Unification and Freedom, 1814–1861,” Austrian History News Letter, No. 3 (1962), pp. 1–32, based on wide reading but arguing a thesis rendered largely untenable by more recent research.
9 “Austria and the Beginnings of the Kingdom of Greece,” Journal of Central European Affairs, Vol. I, No. 1 (April, 1941), pp. 28–44, and No. 2 (July, 1941), pp. 208–223Google Scholar. I recognize the absurdity of claiming Professor Engel-Janosi as an American scholar. Since the above and other studies were written during a twenty-year stay in the United States, were based partly on American materials, and were initially published in American journals, however, it does not seem out of the way to regard these articles as part of the American literature.

14 Franz Joseph and Napoleon III, 1852–1864 (New York: Bookman Associates, 1955)Google Scholar. Adding useful details on Austro-French negotiations over the critical Venetian problem is Barker's, Nancy Nichols careful study, “Austria, France and the Venetian Question, 1861–66,” in The Journal of Modern History, Vol. XXXVI, No. 2 (June, 1964), pp. 145–154CrossRefGoogle Scholar. I cannot agree, however, with her yiew that Austria lost several chances for a useful deal or alliance with Napoleon III. Quite apart from the worthlessness of any offer or promise Napoleon made to Austria at any time, any such transaction depended on Austria's abandoning her conservative policy and adopting one of aggrandizement by Machtpolitik, which is the last thing she could afford to do.

24 “The Revolt in Bosnia-Hercegovina, 1881–1882,” Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. XXXI, No. 2 (June, 1953), pp. 420–436Google Scholar. Jelavich's, excellent study of Tsarist Russia and Balkan Nationalism (Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 1958)Google Scholar, though mainly on Russian policy, is also helpful on Austria's attitude in the Bulgarian crisis. Austria, he demonstrates, was willing to be tertius gaudens but was not responsible for inciting Bulgarian nationalism against Russia.
25 It does not seem to me, for example, that Thaden's, Edward C.Russia and the Balkan Alliance of 1912 (University Park, Pa.: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1965)Google Scholar adds very much to Helmreich's account, despite Thaden's wide research. Helmreich has also written several articles on prewar Austrian policy, the best of which seems to me to be “The Conflict between Germany and Austria over Balkan Policy, 1913- 1914,” in McKay (ed.). Essays in the History of Modern Europe, pp. 130–148.

Also of value on Austro-Italian relations is Reuning's, Wilhelm unpublished dissertation, The History of Article VII of the Triple Alliance, 1875–1915 (University of Pennsylvania, 1956)Google Scholar.

Wank's, “Some Reflections on Conrad von Hötzendorf and His Memoirs based on Old and New Sources” (Austrian History Yearbook, Vol. I [1965], pp. 74–88)Google Scholar is a caustic critique of Conrad's baleful influence on Austrian policy before the war.
30 Three directly concerned with Austrian foreign policy are Engel-Janosi, Friedrich, “The Resignation of Count Kálnoky as Foreign Minister of Austria-Hungary in May 1895,” Journal of Central European Affairs, Vol. XI, No. 3 (October, 1951), pp. 259–278Google Scholar; Irwin Abrams, “The Austrian Question at the Turn of the Twentieth Century,” ibid., Vol. IV, No. 2 (July, 1944), pp. 186–201; and Redlich, Joseph, “Habsburg Policy in the Balkans before the War: Selections from the Diaries of the late Dr. Joseph M.

36 A good account of the unsuccessful attempts by Kun's, Béla government to recruit support from Socialist Austria and to initiate a Communist revolution in Austria is given by Low in his “The First Austrian Republic and Soviet Hungary,” Journal of Central European Affairs, Vol. XX, No. 2 (July, 1960), pp. 174–203Google Scholar.
37 Seymour's, Charles “Woodrow Wilson and Self-Determination in the Tyrol,” Virginia Quarterly Review, Vol. XXXVIII, No.4 (Autumn, 1962), pp. 567–587Google Scholar, provides a thorough explanation of Wilson's principles, or jack of them, in dealing with this question, but the author gives no new information. On later developments in the South Tyrol there are American writings of some value, including in particular studies by George W. Hoffman and Conrad Latour-; they, however, fall outside the scope of this essay.
38 Helpful here are Kogan's, Arthur G. “Genesis of the Anschluss Program: Germany and the Germans of the Habsburg Monarchy in the Autumn of 1918,” Journal of Central European Affairs, Vol. XX, No. 1 (April, 1960), pp. 24–50Google Scholar; and Dumin, Frederick, The Background of the Austro-Gennan Anschluss Movement, 1918–1919 (unpublished dissertation, University of Wisconsin, 1963)Google Scholar.

In both studies Rothenberg warns that the Kaisertreue frequently ascribed to the Grenzer needs careful reevaluation. Also of interest for Habsburg policy in the southeast in the sixteenth century is his “Christian Insurrections in Turkish Dalmatia, 1580–96,” Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. XL, No. 94 (December, 1961), pp. 136–147.

A very interesting and significant complement to Meyer's study is Paul R. Sweet's article on “Germany, Austria-Hungary and Mitteleuropa: August 1915-April 1916,” in Festschrift für Heinrich Benedikt, pp. 180–212. Although Sweet concentrates mainly on the development of German policy, his account of the Austrian government's resistance to German proposals for a Zollyerein and for concrete new guarantees of German supremacy in Austria is highly interesting.
