TI - Austro-Hungarians and PanEuropeans. Aristocratic Critics of Versailles Europe
AB - There are many books and articles on the nationalist and fascist critics of Europe at the Versailles Conference, whereas there are no works in contemporary literature about conservative and aristocratic critics of this political model. The purpose of this text is to present the critics of the conservative side from the point of view of the elite of the Habsburg Empire. We have three social groups that defend the old empire: the aristocratic and cosmopolitan elites of the Austrian land-holding gentry, the Hungarian nobility and the Jews. These three groups do not understand the ideas of nation, nation-state, and nationalism. After the fall of the empire in 1918, only the Hungarian aristocracy and nobility retained their political role, running the Hungarian nation-state. Austria's traditional elite is cosmopolitan and in radical opposition to the new republic. Their political, international, supranational point of view represents the Paneuropean movement.
