Rising ethnic tensions in Austria-Hungary make it…
1888 CE to 1899 CE
The Liberal movement fades, largely because of its resistance to becoming a specifically German party, and dissatisfied Liberals are key figures in the formation of new nationalist movements and parties.
Even though the CSP and SDAP are based on political ideologies that transcend national identity, they too are obliged to make concessions in their program to German nationalism.
In the late 1890s, all German-oriented parties, with the exception of the SDAP and the Catholic
People's Party, unite in the German Front.
The specific demands of the German Front are modest, but by calling for recognition
of a special position for Germans in light of their historic role in the empire, German Austrians are on a collision course with other national groups.
