If the last episode saw Austrian democracy, then this episode has Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss pulling the plug. However, threats persist, particularly from history's most famous German. Thanks to the Presidencies of the United States podcast for the recent plug; here's one in return: https://www.presidenciespodcast.com/

Episode 22: Austrian Democracy on Life Support
In the late '20s and early '30s, democracy in the Austrian First Republic was increasingly anemic and the politics increasingly extreme. In this episode, we'll try to understand why democracy had such a rough go of it during this period, leading to the emergence of a figure many believed would save the country, if not its democracy. No, not that guy.

Episode 21: Die Wilden Zwanziger
Our title for this episode is German for "the roaring twenties," which is what we call the decade following the Great War in the United States. We call it that because of all the partying and wealth that proliferated in that decade for Americans. For Austrians, however, things were slightly different.

Episode 20: The End of Empire
The war is over, but we still have some things to talk about, including how the Austrians occupied Serbia (badly), how the Austrian army lent itself to generating Habsburg loyalty (pretty well), and how the last Habsburg emperor abdicated (incompletely). It's the final episode of the year, so what better way to celebrate than with the abolition of the Habsburg monarchy.

Episode 19: The War Episode
We’ve finally made it to the Great War. In this episode, we consider how Austria fared in World War I. Spoiler alert: They lost. That said, the campaigns led by Austria-Hungary are among the least discussed in a war that included the Battle of the Somme and Gallipoli. Here, Vittorio Veneto gets its (his?) due.
