Abstract
![CDATA[This article shows how a distinction was made between ‘citizens’ and persons of ‘undesirable’ nationality in the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War One. It argues that citizenship was constructed along both ethnic and civic lines of belonging, not just for the duration of the war, but also in the interwar period as a way to exclude minorities, especially Jews, from the boundaries of the ‘German’ Austrian state. In so far as it examines the interactions between diverse groups in an ethnically pluralist region in Central Europe, this article seeks to contribute to transnational studies of national identity and citizenship in Europe.]]
