Mills Taking It to the Streets: Czech National Socialists in 1908 [Elektronische Daten] [T. Mills Kelly] On the night of December 1,1908, the city of Vienna was lit up like a giant birthday cake in celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph I. This final night of the monarch's diamondjubilee was the culmination of an entire season of ceremonial occasionsranging from visits to Vienna by the German emperor William II to a seemingly endless series of fětes—everything from concerts by children's choirs to the most magnificent royal balls Vienna could muster. The streets of the imperial capital were filled with the myriad languages of the empire asmore than one million citizens crowded the Ringstraßre and its many side streets and alleys hoping for a glimpse of their emperor-king. That evening the streets of Prague were filled with thousands of angry Czechs, whose moodwas much different from that of the crowd in Vienna. In contrast to the Viennese festival of light, the Czech demonstrators were extinguishing the street lanterns of Prague, hoping that darkness would decrease the likelihood that they would be arrested. According to the Neue Freie Presse, the Old Town(staré město/Altstadt) district of Prague was experiencing a "schrecktlichstag.” Copyright © Center for Austrian Studies, University of Minnesota 1998 Austrian History Yearbook Cambridge University Press 29/1(1998-01), 93-112 0067-2378 29:1<93 1998 29 AHY https://doi.org/10.1017/S0067237800014818 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1017/S0067237800014818 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Kelly T.
