Excerpt from Bohemia Under Hapsburg Misrule: A Study of the Ideals and Aspirations of the Bohemian and Slovak Peoples, as They Relate to and Are Affected by the Great European War
It has been intimated that the Allies might agree to create Bohemia and Hungary as independent buffer states to curb German aggression, just as Belgium and Holland are buffer states between Germany and France. If this war has shown any thing, it has demonstrated the usefulness of a small state like that of the Belgians. Albania, it will be recalled, had been brought into being by Austria and Italy, not for humanitarian reasons, we may be sure, but to menace and weaken Serbia, of whose growth they were jealous.
Another probability is that Russia might de mand, as one of the prizes of war, the cession of the northern part of austria-hungary, which is wholly ''slavic. She might contend that she could not carry out her traditional policy of guardianship of the Slavs, unless her kinsfolk came under her influence, if not actually under her rule.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, focusing on Bohemia, explores the subjugation of the people and the nation under the Hapsburg monarchy. It delves into the historical and cultural backdrop, examining Bohemia's previous independence, and the loss of it during the Battle of White Mountain. The book details the systematic and oppressive anti-reformation measures during the Thirty Years' War, under Emperor Ferdinand II, which forced the exile of non-conformist Bohemian intellectuals, nobles, and citizens, while alien, often German, loyalists were rewarded with confiscated lands and positions of power. The author details the systematic dismantling of Bohemian language, culture, and education, and the struggle of patriots to preserve their heritage. The book analyzes the profound impact of these events on Bohemian society and identity, shedding light on the struggle for national self-determination and the enduring resilience of the Bohemian people throughout history.
