Austria's Wars of Emergence, 1683-1797 Paperback - 2003
by Michael Hochedlinger
From the rear cover
`Austria�s Wars of Emergence, 1683-1797� spans the period from the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683 to the Franco-Austrian peace settlement of 1797. It is the first comprehensive work ever to put Vienna�s far-reaching military commitments and the enormous pressure these necessarily brought to bear on the Monarchy�s political, administrative and social structure at the centre stage of early modern Austrian history.
Michael Hochedlinger makes it abundantly clear that the Habsburg Monarchy, contrary to the conventional clich�, was neither created nor held together by the dynasty�s famed marriage policy alone but rather by force of arms and the instruments of the early modern power-state.
The struggle for survival within the ever more competitive European states-system forced the Austrian Habsburgs to transform, slowly but steadily, their central and eastern European territories from a bewilderingly complex and backward conglomeration into a centralized state. After decades of truly revolutionary reforms from above in the Age of Enlightened Absolutism (1740-1790) the Habsburg Monarchy certainly ranked with the most advanced polities of Europe. It was also one of the most highly militarized states, second only to Austria�s arch-enemy Prussia.
Michael Hochedlinger is Senior Archivist at the Austrian State Archives. He is an expert on the history of the early modern Habsburg army.
