Yet in the case of the Habsburg port cities of Trieste and Fiume/Rijeka, contended by several different opponents, Italian and Croatian nationalisms had to face centuries-long traditions of municipal autonomy. In both cities, municipalism and attachment to the House of Habsburg were particularly strong and were coupled with local urban identities that defied national forms of identification, insofar as they were ethnically and linguistically hybrid. Nationalist activists sought to exploit ethnic and linguistic elements as markers of defined national identities, yet without widespread success. The final demise of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1918 has been generally taken as proof of the cogency of nationalist discourse, especially the Italian, in the region. The northern Adriatic rim and Dalmatia point to the forcefulness of Habsburg supranationalism and the existence of ethnic hybridity and national indifference, which provided effective bulwarks against nationalisms for decades. date: 2022-08-28 date_type: published oa_status: green full_text_type: other thesis_class: doctoral_embargoed thesis_award: Ph.D language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1968408 lyricists_name: Maritan, Mario lyricists_id: MMARI29 actors_name: Maritan, Mario actors_id: MMARI29 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pages: 269 institution: UCL (University College London) department: History thesis_type: Doctoral citation: Maritan, Mario; (2022) The Eagle on the Adriatic: Habsburg supranationalism in Trieste, Fiume/Rijeka and Dalmatia, 1848-1867.
