The Study explores the role of the Austrian Social Democracy in the modernization of the electoral system prior to the World War I. It states that Social Democracy represented a major political force in the struggle for universal suffrage. While strongly advocating a democratic electoral reform, the Social Democrats, however, refused any kind of cooperation with the conservative political forces. After the Badeni electoral reform of 1896 and the following 1897 elections, Social Democracy gained the first minor success, however, this was still too far from their claims and ideals. It was only the Beck electoral reform of 1906 and the following elections, which meant a major political success for the Austrian Social Democracy. Despite the higher representation of Social Democrats in the newly elected popular parliament, this new parliament proved to be unable to implement a more radical reform. Nevertheless, it can be resumed, that the Social Democracy was the only force defending classical liberal ideals of parliamentary work.

The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 was accompanied by mass enthusiasm. This wave of enthusiasm (Kriegsbegeisterung) was particularly high in Austro-Hungary. In the regions where the German population was significantly large crowds thronged the streets singing patriotic songs such as “Wacht am Rhein”, “Heil Dir im Siegeskranz”, “The Radecky Marsch”, “Prince Eugene Marsch”. They also arranged tributes in front of monuments, state buildings and military headquarters. Despite the fact that the operation to mobilise the Czech military went smoothly the German public noticed the lack of enthusiasm amidst the Czech soldiers and consequently the Czechs were seen as indifferent and even hostile. There was an attempt to promote demonstrations in Prague as an expression of Czech-German reconciliation. However as these were organised by the German minority in Prague the Czechs continued in their lack of fervour and viewed the war as a German one rather than Czech.
