Overview: The armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which went into the Field for the Great War of 1914 were the heirs and successors of men who had defeated the Turks at Vienna, had given Napoleon’s forces their first European setback and had, in wars and campaigns since the fifteenth century, secured for themselves a military reputation of which they could be justifiably proud.
A study of history shows that small and energetic nations who, by conquest, trade or marriage obtain dominion over other more heavily populated states eventually reach a stage in their development when, their own popula­tion being too small in number to supply both an expanding Civil Service as well as an army large enough to defend the State, they must recruit their soldiers from among subject peoples who may be of low military ability or of doubtful loyalty.
