The meaning of the national conflict
A Case-Study from Lower Styria circa 1900
Keywords:
nationalism, Slovenes, Germans, Austro-Hungarian EmpireAbstract
The author examines the embittered and long drawn-out national conflicts in Lower Styria, based on the case of the Ptuj solicitor and fiery Slovenian nationalist, Dr. Anton Brumen. From the beginning of the 20th century and up until the end of the First World War, he waged a private war with the Mayor of Ptuj, Josef Ornig, the standard-bearer of the German Party in Ptuj. During these conflicts, both sides copiously abused all available legal means, and often also "encumbered" the politics of state of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by means of petty and ludicrous mutual accusations made by "their" men in the National Assembly.
