AustriaGeschichte 30 · History of Austria
In October 1918 Emperor Charles I (Karl I.) still wanted to prevent the collapse of the empire with a manifesto to his peoples. What did he propose in it?
In the exam (German)
Im Oktober 1918 wollte Kaiser Karl I. mit einem Manifest an seine Völker den Zerfall des Reiches noch verhindern. Was schlug er darin vor?
- aThe emperor should continue to rule alone, without a parliament and without a constitutionDer Kaiser sollte ohne Parlament und ohne Verfassung allein weiterregieren
- bThe Austrian half of the empire should become a federal state, with separate territories for the individual peoplesDie österreichische Reichshälfte sollte ein Bundesstaat werden, mit eigenen Gebieten für die einzelnen VölkerCorrect answer
- cThe monarchy should end, and all lands of the empire should found a republic togetherDie Monarchie sollte enden und alle Länder des Reiches sollten gemeinsam eine Republik gründen
- dThe Austrian half of the empire should join the German EmpireDie österreichische Reichshälfte sollte sich dem Deutschen Reich anschließen
Why?
In the so-called Manifesto to the Peoples (Völkermanifest), Charles announced that the Austrian half of the empire would be turned into a federal state in which each people would form its own community in the area where it lived. It came too late: in the following weeks the peoples founded their own independent states.
