356 This conclusion, which can be found running through the Austrian historical literature, is contradicted
by Robert A. Kann, Geschichte des Habsburgerreiches 1526–1918 (Vienna/Cologne/Graz, 1977), esp.
437, who rightly states that Stürgkh ‘had good reasons for his decision from his pragmatic point of view’.
