From Multinational Empire to Multinational States
Friday, 2 November 2018, 6:30 – 8pm 
This public lecture will be presented by Pieter Judson, Professor of European History, European University Institute.
At the end of 1918, as the Habsburg Empire collapsed and both brand new and existing states took over its territories, nationalists in Central Europe proclaimed the dawn of the era of the nation state. They hailed the nation state as the embodiment of a bright, democratic, and modern future, while castigating multinational empires as outdated and oppressive. But the revolutions that the nationalists appropriated produced anger and resentment about unfulfilled promises among victors and defeated alike. And contrary to nationalists' claims, 1918 heralded a new age of multi-national empire in Central Europe – one as radical, brutal, and extreme as the age of total war that had produced it.
