SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?!<\/strong><\/h2>\nLIFE AMONG THE RUINS OF THE
AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN MONARCHY<\/h3>\n
International Competition for High School Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
DOWNLOAD PDF<\/a><\/h2>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nDESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nThe twentieth century began with the devastation of the First World War. During the war and after its end, ordinary people faced the consequences. By autumn 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy fell apart and ceased to exist. More often than not, the defeated were tremendously hurt, and the victors triumphant. Everyone had to try to survive on the imperial ruins while the living conditions totally changed. Some decided to move, some stuck to their old dwellings. Others were relieved because, finally, they had become citizens of nation-states where they were members of the titular nation. Of course, others rather found themselves as minorities within these new states, as citizens but not co-nationals. Whatever their decisions, they had to conform to the rules and regulations of these new states.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nWith this international competition<\/strong>, you have the opportunity to take a look at the lives of ordinary people of that time on the grounds of the newly formed countries. The teams will choose a real or fictious historical character<\/strong> through whose eyes they can see a glimpse of everyday life in post-imperial Austria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Poland, or Hungary. The competition will have two online rounds<\/strong>, after which a final round<\/strong> will take place in P\u00e9cs, Hungary<\/strong> where the best teams meet for a weekend and compare their knowledge and talents live<\/strong>, in real time.<\/span> The work of the teams is supported by a selected bibliography, primary sources, and the recent research results of the European Research Council project Negotiating post-imperial transitions<\/a>\u00a0(ERC Nepostrans) of the Institute of Political History in Budapest.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nAPPLICATION<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTeams<\/strong> in this competition will consist of 3 members<\/strong> each<\/strong>.
