“Political funeral”, caricature on the language regulation of the Badeni government, from: Figaro. Humoristisches Wochenblatt of 17 April 1897

The language regulation issued by Prime Minister Graf Badeni was violently contested by the German nationalists, which ultimately led to Badeni’s resignation (left in the picture).

    The battle for the 'national electorate'
