| dc.description.abstract-translated | This study explores a lesser-known aspect of the Saint Germain Peace Treaty – the impact of Czechoslovak land reform on estates owned by Austrian citizens in the interwar period. Following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, property rights of Austrian landowners in Czechoslovakia became a contentious issue, especially as land reform targeted large estates, many of which belonged to Austrian aristocrats. Though the Treaty of Saint Germain appeared to offer some protections, Vienna ultimately chose not to internationalize the dispute via a mixed arbitral tribunal. Legal ambiguity, Austria’s political and economic dependency on Czechoslovakia, and efforts to maintain diplomatic relations all influenced this decision. Despite some diplomatic efforts and partial settlements, Austrian landowners received significantly lower compensation compared to other foreign nationals. This case highlights the limits of international legal mechanisms when weighed against broader political and economic interests in post-war Central Europe, and sheds light on Austria’s cautious approach to protecting its nationals abroad. | en |
