Popis: ���An meine getreuen ��sterreichischen V��lker���. The ���V��lkermanifest��� of Charles I of Austria from October 16th, 1918 ��� A late attempt to avoid the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Charles I of Austria was Habsburg���s last emperor. The interpretations of his person and reign range from the mythical ���emperor of peace��� to the powerless ruler who sees his empire falling apart. On October 16th, 1918, Charles enacted the ���V��lkermanifest���. The purpose of this paper is to examine the central reasons for this enactmen as well as the political background and driving powers. Was the Manifest the attempt of a monarch to avoid the apparantly inevitable decline of his empire? What are the circumstances of the Manifest���s evolution and why did it fail? The examination focusses also on the reactions of politics, population and the press to the Manifest���s decree.
