This paper investigates the situation of Galician refugees in the Habsburg Empire during the last year of the First World War. The majority of the refugees returned home following the eastward movement of the frontline in 1915 (i.e. after the Gorlice‑Tarnów campaign). However, many others stayed deep within the Austro‑Hungarian Empire till the end of the war. According to the official reports of the Ministry of the Interior, there were still 90 thousand refugees (25% Poles, 28% Jews, and 46% Ukrainians, then known as Ruthenians) receiving social benefits from the state in the Austrian part of the Empire on 1st September 1918. Moreover, one can add countless refugees who stayed in the interior of the Empire at their own expense. The situation became even more complicated when the feelings of enmity on the part of the local inhabitants escalated. Pressed by society, the local authorities started expelling the refugees. As a consequence, some of them returned home, while others still stayed in exile in search of a better life. What is even more interesting is that some of them (mostly Jews) emphasised the lack of a bond with the new Polish state born in November 1918.

The main aim of this article is to describe Galicia as it was reflected in Austrian journalism from the first decades of the 19th century. For this purpose, a journal entitled “Vaterländische Blätter für den österreichischen Kaiserstaat” was analyzed. This periodical was published in Vienna between 1808–1820 (since 1815 under the modified title: “Erneuerte vaterländische Blätter…”). This was a crucial period in the history of the Habsburg Empire (because of the Napoleonic Wars, in which Austria was engaged directly, the territorial changes, the decimation of the power previously held by the monarchy in the international politics), during which Galicia had only recently become an integral part of the monarchy. Through an examination of selected feuilletons, which referred to Galicia as a new province of the empire in such an unstable period, the author will investigate how Galicia was described by publicists and travellers in the press and what kind of depictions of this province were delivered for German-speaking public opinion.

As a result of war hostilities which began in the Habsburg monarchy in 1914, migrations of the civilian population started, connected with the movement of war refugees from the eastern front, i.e. Galicia, and since May 1915 also from the Italian front. Austria had to face relocation and accommodation of hundreds of thousands of civilians, who were put in special refugee camps or beyond them in various towns and cities in the monarchy with local residents or in specially adapted buildings. The article shows selected aspects of the system of barrack camps created during the First World War in the Habsburg monarchy, focusing on the efficiency of the system in the face of real challenges of the war period.

The article analyzes the intertwining of emotions associated with the beginning and end of the First World War, illustrating their complexity and evolution, with a focus on Habsburg Galicia and its inhabitants during said war. In the context of the war outbreak in 1914, emotions such as contempt, anger, or lack of respect for the state were influenced by both current events and the background of pre-war moods. Rooted in political aspects, these emotions were a result of prolonged national conflicts and politics. In contrast, the conclusion of the war is portrayed as a period of brief wartime experience, triggering social dissatisfaction due to shortages, hunger, and cold. Emotions expressed during protests indicated criticism of economic policies, later transitioning to political aspects related to treaties and peace demands. The evolution of emotions from the beginning to the end of the war sheds light on the changing social and political contexts of this tumultuous period. This article argues as well how the emotions were connected with the community, which makes them more collective than individual.

The outbreak of the First World War (1914–1918) forced the countless civilians to leave their homes and to become war refugees. This topic has remained largely unexplored by the historians. The number of refugees from the multinational Galicia in the years 1914–1918 was large in many parts of the former Austria-Hungary, which finds its reflection in archival materials scattered over various archives and over an extensive territory. This paper presents the issue of the Galician war refugees who found themselves in the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen. It also outlines the general problem of emigration as well as describes relations between the refugees and the local people. It was not only due to antagonisms but also due to the administrative decisions of the Hungarian authorities that the Galician refugees remained alien to the locals, despite the fact they all were citizens of the same Habsburg Monarchy.
