 | | Under the order of the duke, all the Jews of Austria were imprisoned (May 23, 1420); the poor among them were expelled from the country; and the well-to-do were kept in prison, and their property was confiscated. | | | In 1660 he had married Margaret Theresa, a Spanish princess, and her influence was strongly brought to bear against the toleration of the Jews, for to this fact she ascribed the misfortune of the death of her first-born. | | | There is no report of any punishment of the participants in the massacre, although it had been proved by the bishop that the miracle of the host was a fraud perpetrated by a priest who, after dipping a host in blood, claimed that it bled because the Jews had pierced it. |

| | In recent years, however, Austria began to reassess its definition of neutrality, granting overflight rights for the UN-sanctioned action against Iraq in 1991, and, since 1995, contemplating participation in the EU's evolving security structure. | | | The SPO in the past advocated heavy state involvement in Austria's key industries, the extension of social security benefits, and a full-employment policy. | | | It is in the interest of the U.S. to maintain and strengthen these strong relations and to maintain Austria's political and economic stability. |

| | At the end of 1999, Austria's main political parties—the centre-left Social-Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), and the centre-right Austrian People's Party (ÖVP)—were still locked in talks to form a new government following the October 3 general election. | | | Following the collapse in September 2002 of the coalition that comprised the centre-right Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the far-right populist Freedom Party (FPÖ), the opening months of 2003 saw the four main political parties in Austria involved in negotiations on the formation of a new government. | | | Although the nations of Europe had been edging toward war for several years, it was the assassination of Austria's Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, that plunged the Continent into actual conflict. |

| | The new republic, with a population of just eight million reluctant citizens, was riven by left- and right-wing political violence and, as a result, the majority of Austrians were wildly enthusiastic about the Anschluss with Nazi Germany in 1938. | | | In 1995, Austria became a full member of the European Union, a move that for many was a sign that the country had finally entered the mainstream of European politics. | | | From time to time, Austria's more reactionary elements have attracted widespread media attention, most notably during the Waldheim affair, when the wartime record of the president was called into question, and in the recent rise of the Far Right under the charismatic Jörg Haider. |

| | During the 17th and 18th centuries, Austria — and, in particular, Vienna — became one of the major centres of the cultural renaissance associated with the terms Baroque and The Enlightenment; the musical achievements of this period are particularly notable and their note in cultural history still resounds. | | | It seems as if Austria is keen not to be regarded as simply a ‘historical’ country, but one that also proudly fosters the cultural and social present. | | | However, Austria has also yielded people such as artists Klimt and Schiele, composers Liszt and Mahler, writers Rilke and Schnitzler, psychologists Freud and Rank, and philosophers such as Husserl and Wittgenstein. |
