Any work that takes a thorough look at the problem of nationality requires a kind of common ground in the form of a consensus about such basic terms as people and nation. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire the main problem was the complexity of factors and the lack of unity, which also affected Austria’s special matter of nationality. Specifically, Austria witnessed the mutual opposition of three elements. Amidst the conflict of different ethnic groups and the historical kingdoms and provinces with the central power, ethnic groups made increasingly significant and radical demands as opposed to the other two groups. While this work also seeks to use consistent terms, it shifts the focus from the creation of unambiguous definitions to generally recognised historical development processes, such as the role of the slogans of popular sovereignty and equal rights in the definition of nation, and to trends in the scholarly interpretation of people and nation in the 19th century

All the works, dealing with the nationality problem fundamentally, need a kind of generally applicable basis in the form of a consensus in connection with the usage of theoretical concepts like people and nation. In the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy primarily the complexity of factors and the lack of unity meant a problem that also characterised the particular Austrian nationality question. So, in the contemporary Austria, three radically different elements were against each other. Various ethnic groups, as well as the historical units of kingdoms and provinces were opposing the central power whilst the demands of the ethnic groups in comparison with the demands of the other two groups became more and more significant and radical. Nation and nationality are the products of social development, thus cannot be defined without the consideration of the geographical and chronological scope in question; in other words, in the Habsburg Monarchy of the 19th century, one way to define nation and nationality led through the contemporary theories of these concepts.

As we know, it is very difficult to describe and define the Central European major region objectively according to regional aspects. Despite the various defining and describing attempts, we can state that creating an exact definition and an undisputable geographical classification is hardly possible. Principally cultural and intellectual criteria can underpin the definitions; secondly the economic and social interpretations, both of them in the spirit of plurality and polycentrism. The attempts to define Central Europe in political, geopolitical and geographical respect are particularly problematic and rather controversial as it is hardly possible to define a macro-region through the delineation of the political borders because they are optional and change constantly. It would be even less possible to limit it with the help of a geopolitical system and autocratic theories. A major region is subject to changes. It is appropriate to add that, in any event, this Central Europe lasted in the first half of the 20th century as a macro-regional phenomenon that was addressed, valued differently and even partially fought for.
