Austria's Wars of Emergence, 1683-1797 Modern Wars In Perspective Series
Auteur : Hochedlinger Michael
The Habsburg Monarchy has received much historiographical attention since 1945. Yet the military aspects of Austria?s emergence as a European great power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have remained obscure. This book shows that force of arms and the instruments of the early modern state were just as important as its marriage policy in creating and holding together the Habsburg Monarchy.
Drawing on an impressive up-to-date bibliography as well as on original archival research, this survey is the first to put Vienna?s military back at the centre stage of early modern Austrian history.
Michael Hochedlinger is Senior Archivist at the Austrian State Archives. He is an expert on the history of the early modern Habsburg army.
- Covers the big themes in 'the long 18th century' - central to the history of continental Europe
- The only up-to-date survey on early modern Austrian military history in any language
- Provocative and original thesis - early modern Habsburg Empire is not usually viewed as a military state.
