In 1918, the collapse of ancient European empires had lasting effects that remain underappreciated in sociology today. The fate of these empires rested with soldiers and officers, whose emotions and social conditioning significantly influenced outcomes, alongside their military resources. This book explores the evolution of the Habsburg Monarchy's military and its role in European state competition from the 18th century, connecting this history to the emotions and habitus of Austro-Hungarian soldiers during the First World War. Key themes include the selective remembrance culture in Central Europe post-war, the development and dynamics of a “Habsburg military habitus” before and during the conflict, and the exploration of collective and adversarial feelings within a diverse army. Additionally, it examines soldiers' experiences of fear and heroism through an emotional sociology lens, questioning the extent of their "de-civilization" during the war. The interplay of emotion and military experience is crucial to understanding the broader implications of this historical period.
