Some Problems of the Peace Conference
Haskins, Charles Homer
Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920); World War, 1914-1918 -- Territorial questions
The British Foreign Office _Handbooks_ are a particularly convenient
source of information about the former Hapsburg monarchy and its
several constituent territories.
The history of the Czecho-Slovaks has been set forth for Western
readers principally in the masterly works of Professor Ernest Denis:
_La Fin de l’indépendance bohème_. 2 vols. Paris, 1890. _La Bohème
depuis la Montagne-Blanche._ 2 vols. Paris, 1903. _Les Slovaques._
Paris, 1917.
Valuable descriptions of the progress and situation of the
Czecho-Slovaks before the War are to be found in: W. S. Monroe,
_Bohemia and the Čechs_. Boston, 1910. T. Čapek (ed.), _Bohemia under
Hapsburg Misrule_. New York, 1915. Z. V. Tobolka (ed.), _Das böhmische
Volk_. Prague, 1916. H. Rauchberg, _Der nationale Besitzstand in
Böhmen_. 2 vols. Leipzig, 1905. (The most detailed and comprehensive
study of the nationality situation in Bohemia.)
Czecho-Slovak claims and aspirations are well formulated by Dr.
Edouard Beneš in _Bohemia’s Case for Independence_, London, 1917.
A detailed discussion of the new frontiers of German Austria (with a
map) is contained in the article by Dr. E. de Martonne, “Le traité
de St.-Germain et le démembrement de l’Autriche,” in _Annales
de géographie_, Jan. 15, 1920. See also the article on “The New
Boundaries of Austria” in _The Geographical Journal_, Nov., 1919, and
N. Krebs, “Deutsch-Oesterreich,” in _Geographische Zeitschrift_, vol.
xxv, 2-4 Hft.
The nationality situation in the regions most in dispute along
Austria’s new frontiers is best described, perhaps, in: A. Brunialti,
_Le nuove Provincie italiane, i: Il Trentino_. Turin, 1919. Montanus,
_Die nationale Entwicklung Tirols in den letzten Jahrzehnten_. Vienna,
1918. M. Pirker, “Die Zukunft Kärntens,” in the _Oesterreichische
Rundschau_, Dec. 1, 1918. J. Bunzel, “Das deutsche Westungarn,” in the
same number of the review just cited.
