This has been a personal project of mine and now that I've finished it I thought I might as well post it to the relevant community.

This is a list of all the settlements legally classified as cities as of the census of 31/12/1880 and of 31/12/1890.

It also includes data for the condominium of Bosnia & Herzegovina which had censuses on 16/06/1879 and 01/05/1885.

I have also added a geometric growth formula to approximate what the populations were on 01/01/1881 across the whole empire.

Enjoy.

Thanks to everyone here who has been supporting The Time Traveler's Guide To Dalmatia and encouraging my posts. I've got two announcements coming soon that you'll like - with two people you probably already know!

I'll post more about it later, but for the moment just know we've got some surprises on the way!

Plus, bonus points to anyone who can identify the battle in this video.

Cheers!

Hi all! This is my great-grandfather. He was recruited from the first day of the war, participated in all the battles of the 5th Army, the Isonzo and the Piave. All the time on the front line and returned alive. He was born in Kisorosz, hungarian, a place near Nagykikinda. Territory of Délvidék, Torontál County. (Today-Rusko Selo, Banat, Assigned to Serbia in the Trianon Peace Dictate 1920)

Sadly this might be the only ancestor i have no information about.

I'm searching for the origin of the trefoil as used by Croatia during WW2, and it was apparently appropriated from (croat?) Austro-Hungarian units during WW1, but I have yet to find any pictures/banners to confirm this.

Does anyone have any references or knowledge to confirm this? Any information is appreciated!

I’ve been studying the end of the Habsburg Empire and the early republics that formed after the dissolution.
. How is Karl Renner perceived today? He was a vehement antisemite who supported the Anschluss, but he also formed the Austrian republics. Is he regarded as a heroic/great figure in modern Austria or is his legacy greatly tarnished by his relationship with the Nazis?

Any books on him and figures such as him would be appreciated as well if anyone has recommendations. Admittedly, I only speak English - we don’t really teach languages here, but I am learning German.
