Natasha Wheatley, assistant professor of history at Princeton, sits down with Danny and Derek to talk about the transformation of the Habsburg Empire from a multinational collection of polities to discrete nation-states and how this century of radical change informs our ideas of sovereignty and the subsequent international order.
Really liked this one. Thanks, Derek for expanding the convo to the various ethnic groups - of course I would like to hear more about the Pan-Slavic and Jugoslav ideals - Jugoslavism's birthplace of often cited as the Croatian areas of Hungary. I am not sure but I think that the Jugoslav consolidation may have been the only one that took in such large groups that had actually fought against one another during WWI.
I will listen to this one several times over. Probably get the book as well.
