Bohemia Under Hapsburg Misrule - 9781545055885

With what form of government would Bohemia make her re-entry into the European family of nations-as a free state, as a dependency of Russia, as a ward of the Allies, or incorporated in a federation of the states remaining to the Hapsburg Empire? It was a favorite theory of Palack? that the Austrian nations would, for their own protection, have to create an Austria, if she were ever destroyed. But what Palack? has said may no longer be true, because the events of 1914 have created issues and opened up possibilities undreamt of in his times. Palack?, let it be understood, had in mind a Confederated Austria that should form a bulwark for small races against German expansion from the north and the west. It has been intimated that the Allies might agree to create Bohemia and Hungary as independent buffer states to curb German aggression, just as Belgium and Holland are buffer states between Germany and France. If this war has shown anything, it has demonstrated the usefulness of a small state like that of the Belgians.
