I stated in this same thread that the possibilities of Austria to become a constitutional monarchy again are very but very remote. I just don't use words like 'impossible' or 'never'.
First, in 1912 Europe had lived in peace for almost 70 years, unknown before. True, Germany was longing for expasion, but war was not clear at all.
Second, FJ was so old that everybody was waiting for him to go in order to 'do' new things, that is true. But assuming that the monarchy was over after him, again is wrong. You are like those people that assume that after Elizabeth II, the British monarchy would be over. After that we just play the 'what if game', meaning playing with history. If playing that game I could say that the monarchy opposed nazism, and then gloriously came back to power after the war, like it happened in Norway, the Netherlands, etc... But, that is only speculation.
Third and finally, I am sure you know today Austria way better than I do, and I respect your opinions and your right to express them. I say AGAIN: I don't think Austria will become a monarchy in the near future, but I know history enough to refuse to use words like 'impossible' and 'never'. I hope there is no catastrophe at all coming for Austria, because I love your country, and you do have a stable and prosperous republic, but proud?
