The Reform of the Bureaucracy

---

Maria Theresa determined from the outset of her reign that the Habsburg monarchy would never again be perceived as too weak to defend itself. Consequently, even while the war was under way she had been studying reforms, and when it ended she immediately began implementing them. First and foremost was the reform of the army. Maria Theresa realized, however, that no military reform would be effective without financial reform and in this area, advised by the brilliant Friedrich Wilhelm, Count von Haugwitz, she achieved her perhaps greatest accomplishments. Following the military and financial reforms other changes came, generally in administrative matters. Although these reforms were subjected too many modifications and changes throughout Maria Theresa's reign and after, the result was a government far more centralized than it had ever been before.

Melchior Klesl

The dynasty was presumed to have died out, but it now seems that there still exists a member, although their claim to the throne is considered weak.

Geheime Kabinettskanzlei

Rather than relying on single individuals states are now increasingly relying on institutions to carry out their espionage. All over Europe Black Chambers, tasked with the procurement, opening and decrypting of foreign as well as domestic correspondence have quietly been created.
The one in Vienna, the Geheime Kabinettskanzlei, is, however, something out of the ordinary. By those in the know the Viennese Black Chamber is famed for the speed with which it regularly opens, copies and then decrypts and translates all mail it can get its hands on.

Plague in Vienna

---

A city as important and well connected as Vienna will always be vulnerable to epidemics and has seen many of them come and go through the centuries. The plague outbreak of $YEAR$ is, however, something quite out of the ordinary. The disease has struck our city very hard and some say a third of the population is now dead or dying.

Finally free of the plague the time has come for our $MONARCHTITLE$ to make good on his pledge to erect a Mercy Column. The only real choice we have is what the column should look like. As a symbol of a fresh start architects have suggested we make the column as modern as possible, a high baroque monument. Others, however, feel that the only proper way to mourn the dead is a more restrained, conservative column without pretentions to be on the forefront of Architectural style.

Today a number of Dutch and English captains as well as Flemish merchants approached $MONARCHTITLE$ $MONARCH$ and asked for a royal charter of their own. They claim to have the necessary expertise and starting capital themselves already and only ask for a Royal Charter so that they may compete with the other India Companies without being considered renegades or pirates.

Demands to close down the Ostende Company

---

While still young the Ostende Company has done better than anyone in $CAPITAL_CITY$ expected. The Company may lack the financial muscle of the older India Companies but the Ostende Company has still managed to do very well in some areas. Last year half of the tea exported to Europe was transported by Ostende ships.
The success of the Company has, however, not made us any friends. The English and Dutch both claim that the Ostende Company is a sham set up by their disloyal subjects masquerading as Austrian/Flemish sailors. They show little understanding for our desire to get in on the India trade and as long as the Company operates they will hold it against us. In $CAPITAL_CITY$ some sympathize with them, our country has never been a naval power and this all seems like an unnecessary adventure to them.

Holy Roman Emperor events

The Imperial Parliament at Augsburg

---

A temporary doctrinal agreement was proclaimed in May 1548 between German Catholics and Protestants and became imperial law on June 30, 1548. It was prepared and accepted at the insistence of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who hoped to establish temporary religious unity in Germany until differences could be worked out in a general council of the Catholic Church. The Augsburg Interim primarily reflected a Catholic viewpoint. It did, however, allow clerical marriage and communion in both kinds (bread and wine) for the laity. Several Protestant electors objected to the Catholic emphasis of the Augsburg Interim and refused to abide by it. Charles attempted to force its acceptance, an action that led the Protestants to adopt the Leipzig Interim, which upheld Protestant doctrines, at a subsequent Diet. Neither interim was fully accepted, so a German religious settlement was not brought about until the Peace of Augsburg in 1555.

Peasant Revolt in Austria

---

The 1620s were characterized by long and cold winters, late springs and cold and wet summers, leading to crop-failure and sharp increases in grain prices. Into this atmosphere of enhanced tension broke a climatic event of unusual severity. In 1626, during the last week of May, in the middle of the vegetation period, winter returned. The temperature fell so that lakes and rivers froze and trees shed their leaves. The unexpected return of winter caused panic and anxiety among the peasants who could not remember ever experiencing such destruction of their fields. This event, combined with the brutal persecution of Protestants, led the mainly Protestant peasants of Upper Austria, pledged to Bavaria, to revolt. The peasants were defeated after heavy fighting, and in 1628 the country passed into the hands of the emperor again.

The Reactionary Reforms of 1789

---

Joseph II was a controversial ruler. He began his reign with liberal reforms like the Edict of Toleration, which gave Lutherans, Calvinists, and Orthodox near equality with Roman Catholics. He also abolished serfdom and (temporarily) eased up on official censorship. However, Joseph was also an extreme centralist. In 1784, he informed the Hungarian government that its official language, Latin, was really not effective for modern government and would be changed to German. To add to their horror, Joseph refused to submit to a coronation in Hungary lest he have to swear to uphold laws that he did not wish to, and then he had the sacred crown of the kingdom moved to Vienna. In March 1787 Joseph swept away the constitution of the Austrian Netherlands and announced that from then on it would be ruled according to absolutist principles. Resistance simmered in the Austrian Netherlands until 1789 when it boiled over into open revolt. By that time there also were rumors of rebellion in Hungary and in Galicia, and for a time it appeared as if revolution might erupt in many parts of the monarchy.

Noble Revolt in Hungary

---

As struggles came and went the ruling family of Hungary, the Habsburgs, had established the following pattern in treating their nobility. During times of foreign war, nobles were granted rights which the crown then tried to recall as soon as peace came. This, naturally, often triggered revolts. Following this pattern, taxes and military drafts were imposed upon the nobles after Hungary's decisive victory over the Turks in 1699. But, when Austria went to war with France in 1703, the nobles revolted once again, and forced the Emperor Charles V to restore the old system of noble privileges, in the Peace of Szatmar of 1711.

The Protestant Rebellion in Hungary

---

Religious antagonism played an important part when war between the empire and the Turks broke out again in 1591. In the so-called Long War, imperial troops entered Transylvania, and their commander, George Basta, behaved there and in northern Hungary with such insane cruelty toward the Hungarian Protestants that a Transylvanian general, István Bocskay, formerly a Habsburg supporter, revolted. His army of wild hajduks drove out Basta, and in June 1606 Bocskay concluded with Rudolf the Peace of Vienna, which left him prince of an enlarged Transylvania and also guaranteed the rights of the Protestants of Royal Hungary.

The Chastening of Hungary

---

The Turkish occupation of central Hungary remained a volatile issue, for every Hungarian resented the Habsburgs' policy of leaving the Turks unmolested while pursuing ambitious objectives in the west. Emperor Leopold sent a force against the Turks - but, although the Austrian general Raimondo Montecuccoli defeated the Turks at Szentgotthárd on Aug. 1, 1664, the subsequent Peace of Vasvár recognized all the sultan's gains. After that even the highest magnates of Royal Hungary plotted to expel the Habsburgs with Turkish and French help.

German Settlement of Hungary

---

The largest wave of germans immigrating into Hungary occurred due to a deliberate settlement policy of the Habsburg government, after the Ottoman Empire has been forced away from Hungarian lands. Between 1711 and 1780, German-speaking settlers from Southern Germany, Austria, and Saxony immigrated to the Southwest of Hungary.

Metternich

---

Metternich began his state career in 1797 as representative of the Westphalian College of counts at the Congress of Rastatt, but in less than a decade, he had managed to become ambassador of Saxony and Preussen as well as the Austrian representative in France. His career primed in 1809 when he was assigned the post as minister of Austrian foreign affairs. Until 1813 Metternich will pursue a policy of acquiescence to French supremacy. A policy which ends with the creation of the Quadruple Alliance, the war against France, and the allied victory the very same year. The following 35 years have been called the Age of Metternich for during this time he was the chief arbiter of Europe. The Metternich system depended upon political and religious censorship, espionage, and the suppression of revolutionary and nationalist movements. This system holds part of the blame for the revolutions of 1848.

The Enlightened Reforms of Joseph II

---

Joseph II, 1741-90, Holy Roman Emperor (1765-90), King of Bohemia and Hungary (1780-90). After his father's death in 1765, Joseph acted as emperor and co-regent with his mother but had little real influence. Resenting this fact, he took to traveling until his mother's death in 1780. He then began reforms largely based on his own philosophy and principles, rather than those originating in the Enlightenment. These reforms consisted of nothing less than the abolition of hereditary and ecclesiastic privileges as well as the creation of a civil service based on merit and loyalty rather than birth.

Maria Theresa

---

Her mere existence is enough to upset the balance of power in Europe, for she claims the throne of Austria at a time when that crown's union with the Holy Roman Empire and uncertainties about Austrian law means that there are a case to be made that she should not rule at all. Her strengths are many, and there are those that place trust in her and believes that she will fend off any attack from the powerful and warlike Prussian state. Maria Theresa has stated that she wish to oppress religious minorities in the empire, since any division could tear the land apart, but she will otherwise push for progressive reforms in Austria. Taxes will be imposed on the nobility, Austrian education improved and the army reformed so it can compete with our stronger neighbors. She also wish to ban witch burnings.

The Italian Wars

---

The Italian Wars were a series of wars between 1494 and 1559 that involved most Italian city-states, the Papal State and drew in major powers like France, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. The earlier War of Lombardy against the Republic of Venice had left the Duchy of Milan seeking an ally and turned to Charles VIII of France for help. Using the House of Valois' old claim to the throne of Naples as a pretext when Ferdinand I of Naples died, Charles invaded the peninsula in 1494. With his army followed a large and mobile siege train that battered down the medieval city walls in a matter of days - triggering the reforms that led to the fortification style called 'Trace Italienne.' Despite tactical victories in the field, Charles became cut off from France and was forced to return home in 1498. The conflict over Italy was, however, far from over and the wars between Spain and France would go on for another 61 years.
