| Abstract | The closing of the parliament in Vienna in spring 1914 led to the consolidation of a wartime regime that was at once autocratic, decentralized, and poorly equipped to handle the demands of competing power centers, both within the government and throughout the empire. Yet the political parties did not remain passive during the war. As opportunities for political life reopened in 1916 and 1917, the irreconcilable grievances and visions of these parties overwhelmed the administrative and political efficacy of the empire and contributed significantly to the disintegration of the monarchy in 1918. |
