Pershing Lecture Series: Austria at War in 1914 - Richard Faulkner

When the Austro-Hungarian Empire went to war in the summer of 1914, both friends and foes viewed it as one of the great powers of Europe. A series of military disasters undermined this view within four months, establishing the Dual Monarchy as just a supporting actor of the Central Powers and beginning the empire's steady descent into dissolution. Dr. Richard Faulkner examines the Austro-Hungarian Army and the factors leading to its uneven performance in the opening months of the Great War. In conjunction with the exhibition Empires at War. Featuring distinguished lecturers and authors from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Department of Military History, the Museum and Memorial is proud to host the Pershing Lecture Series, which fosters understanding of World War I and its impact on the law, international policy and culture of today.
