Austria-Hungary

As the beets of Europe became sweeter, the population of the islands became blacker.

Before the war, England was paying out $125 million for sugar, and more than two-thirds of this money was going to Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Fostered by scientific study, protected by tariff duties, and stimulated by export bounties, the beet sugar industry became one of the financial forces of the world.

The English at home, especially the marmalade makers, at first rejoiced at the idea of getting sugar for less than cost at the expense of her continental rivals.

This forced the calling of a convention at Brussels in 1903 to equalize the conditions of competition between beet sugar and cane sugar of the various countries, at which the powers agreed to a mutual suppression of bounties.

Beet sugar then divided the world's market equally with cane sugar, and the two rivals stayed substantially neck and neck until the Great War came.

This shut out from England the product of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, northern France, and Russia, and took the farmers from their fields.

The battle lines of the Central Powers enclose the land which used to grow a third of the world's supply of sugar.

The First World War was undoubtedly the greatest of the follies of the 20th century.

With no real motives or purposes, three major European powers, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, clashed in a deadly battle which resulted in the first two not recovering for the duration of the century, and the third disintegrating.

As for the two allies of Russia, seemingly victors, they held out for another quarter of a century and then lost their power of domination forever.

Henceforth, the whole of Europe ceased to fulfill its proud mission of guiding humanity, becoming an object of jealousy and incapable of keeping it, keeping in its weakened hands its colonial possessions.

The only, the only cause was Britain's fear of a, um, Russo-German alliance, which would have knocked, uh, Great Britain out of, uh, out of the dominant position she had.

Um, she is, uh, Britain is the, the ultimate cause of the war.

The proximate cause of the war, of course, is Austria-Hungary.

Um, uh, by, um, not so much the assassination.

Extortion Something else has occurred that also vivifies the Austro-Hungarian example so corrupted by Judaism and worse than a vine fallen prey to caterpillars.

It is now opportune to explain.

The progeny of Abraham in 10 years has increased by 2.07%, from 1,154,000, which its children were in 1869, now to 1,648,708.

Just remember when people say that, where that came from.

Because you won't only hear that from the tribe.

Many will take this advice since 2 million foreign usurers have appropriated the patrimony of 40 million Austro-Hungarians who have extended hospitality and civil equality to them.

and throughout the empire will be revived the cultivation of lands by slaves who make money for the new owners.

These aspirations tended to put aside all obstacles which opposed the intellectual, social and political development of the country.

They can be traced in the movement now taking place in the Ukrainian provinces of both the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires.

The causes which have determined the more recent phases of this movement have their origin in the past centuries.

They are a result not only of the political life of the people, but also of the geographical peculiarities of the territory inhabited by this people, of its situation, its physical nature, and of the conditions in which the colonization of the soil was accomplished.

Some years later, Bukovina, the present region, which formerly belonged to Moldavia, was added to it.

This passing of western Ukraine into the rule of Austria awoke a new national fervor in the country.

The Austro-Hungarian government had but lately learnt, at the time of the movement against ecclesiastic union in Galicia, of the deplorable condition in which the Ukrainian population of Hungary found itself.

steps were taken to ameliorate the moral and material condition of the priests of the united greek church in galicia and in hungary a particular importance was attached to the united church in this province during the eighteenth century for it became transformed here into the ukrainian national church the measures that were established by the austro-hungarian government had therefore far-reaching consequences as had also the efforts it made to disseminate instruction among the urban and rural population together with the attempts to ameliorate the economic conditions of the people Insignificant as were in reality the reforms brought about, and fleeting as was the current of Ruthenophile sentiments in the policy of the government, this attitude nevertheless created a deep impression upon the Ukrainian population, which once again enjoyed a sense of nationality and lost the feeling of despair with which it was stricken during the later years of Polish supremacy.

Germany backed up Austria to the limit.

To use the language of the German authorities, we were perfectly aware that a possible warlike attitude of Austria-Hungary against Serbia might bring Russia upon the field, and that it might therefore involve us in a war, in accordance with our duties as allies.

we could not however in these vital interests of austria-hungary which were at stake advise our ally to take a yielding attitude not compatible with his dignity nor deny him our assistance that made the war inevitable every day of the fateful august nineteen fourteen was crowded with momentous events on the first germany declared war on russia on the second the germans invaded the little duchy of luxemburg and notified the king of belgium that they were preparing to violate the neutrality of his realm on their way to paris on the same day great britain anxiously besought by the french government promised the aid of the british navy if german warships made hostile demonstrations in the channel august third the german government declared war on france the following day great britain demanded of germany respect for belgian neutrality failing to receive the guarantee broke off diplomatic relations on the fifth the british prime minister announced that war had opened between england and germany the storm now broke in all its pitiless fury the state of american opinion although president wilson promptly proclaimed the neutrality of the united states the sympathies of a large majority of the american people were without doubt on the side of great britain and france to them the invasion of the little kingdom of belgium and the horrors that accompanied german occupation were odious in the extreme moreover they regarded the german imperial government as an autocratic power wielded in the interest of an ambitious military party the kaiser william the second and the crown prince were the symbols of royal arrogance on the other hand many americans of german descent in memory of their ties with the fatherland openly sympathized with the central powers, and many Americans of Irish descent, recalling their long and bitter struggle for home rule in Ireland, would have regarded British defeat as a merited redress of ancient grievances.

Extremely sensitive to American opinion, but ill-informed about it, the German government soon began systematic efforts to present its cause to the people of the United States in the most favorable light possible.

We desire no conquest, no dominion.

We seek no indemnities for ourselves.

The first loan had four and a half million subscribers, the fourth more than twenty million.

The migration from Northern Europe, England, Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia diminished.

that from Italy, Russia, and Austria-Hungary increased, more than three-fourths of the entire number coming from these three lands between the years of 1900 and 1910.

These later immigrants were Italians, Poles, Mygars, Czechs, Slovaks, Russians, and Jews, who came from countries far removed from the languages and tradition of England, whence came the founders of America.

In the second place, the reception accorded the newcomers differed from that given to immigrants in the early days.

They settled into the Republic, not only appointing ministers, among them not only Cremu, Reynal, Magnin, and Locroy, but also Say, Ferry, and Floquet, all husbands of Jewish women.

as in Italy, so also in Austria-Hungary and in Germany.

These bigwigs took over the financial and political sectors in service of their own interests and their power, supported as they are by a journalism that confuses, swindles, deceives, and frightens off whoever does not wish to be molded by Judaism.
