When should Austria be reintegrated?

I don’t understand the discussion as a choir. Also the term “reactionary” doesn’t bother me because I am more positive about it.

Austria was in the Middle Ages settlement area of Bajuwaren, which is well known. Also here you should not misinterpret my clue: I did not write that no one would have lived there before the settlement by the Bajuwaren or that no other would have been added later. The core of the culture of almost total Austria, recognizable in language, mentality, construction, culture, etc. is unquestionably Bajuwarisch and everyone in Bavaria and Austria knows about the particular relationship between Bavaria and Austria (especially Tyrol). Only the capital of Vienna, located far east, deviates more strongly and is strongly influenced by Slavic and Hungarian as well as certain Jewish and Italian influences.

I didn’t write that either. The Holy Roman Empire was not a state of modernity, but a multiethnic medieval kingdom. It should not be forgotten, however, that this kingdom of German nation was, so was born by the German people, like the Russians, carrying Russia, although there are still many other ethnic groups.

According to the developments of 1866-71, Austria became a separate nation state independent of the German Reich, nothing changes the ethnicity of the people in the “East Mark.” There are ethnic Germans like the people in the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR. There was also no “German-Democratic People” in the GDR.

It is also true, however, that in the long run from the Austrians a separate people could develop. This was also the case with the Dutch, who, since the Westphalian peace of 1648, were released from the HRR Reichsverband and received their own state. As a result, these original low Germans have actually developed into their own people over time. As will be the case with the Austrians, only the future can be shown.

However, the comparison with France is enormous. The East Franconia region was not a settlement area of the West Franconia region. Conversely, the Franks of regions east of the Rhine, that is to say the middle of Germany, have spread to the west in the period of international migration, subjected to the Gallo-Roman population and incorporated into their kingdom, which became West Franconia after the division by the Treaty of Verdun in 843.

I didn’t say anything else. Austria was Bavaria’s Bajuwarian settlement area, comparable to the Mark Brandenburg, which was mainly the Lower Saxony settlement area.

But the fact is that the territories of today’s two states were Austria and FRG parts of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.

I already wrote that Italians lived in HRR. I understand your play. But it is just wrong that Germany and the East Mark were only part of the same empire for 7 years. So I have Thousand-year Empire consciously differently interpreted. –

Germany as a nation state has only existed since 1871, that is correct. But the Germans as people are much older and already detectable in writing documents in the Middle Ages (theodisco, tiutsche).
