Opis

Moravia served as a testing ground for Cisleithania's "personal national autonomy." The 1905 Moravian Pact aimed to ease national conflicts by dividing the population into intermingled yet administratively distinct, semi-autonomous national groups. However, defining and demarcating these groups posed challenges.
