2021-04-23 02:30:52 +0000 UTCWait so let me get this right: He beats the drums of war and wants an invasion asap, engages in an affair while writing hundreds of sultry letters, knowingly keep secrets from his own emporer and makes an overly complicated military administration and causes an epidemic.....is Conrad a general or a fucking chaos worshipper?

2021-04-22 23:07:25 +0000 UTC"The Habsburg Empire: A New History" by Judson (2016). The TLDR is they were managing their nationalities pretty well, in peacetime. The multilingual army is a prime example. Losing the war broke everything, and nobody contributed more to both starting and losing it than Conrad.

2021-04-22 22:46:52 +0000 UTCI thought this guy was one of the worst generals when I read military histories of WW1. Then I read up on the political history of the Empire, and there's also a very good chance that without him the Empire doesn't collapse when it does!
