October 21, 1918 - Vienna
The long-desired answer of Wilson to our Monarchy finally came and destroyed all of our hopes. Many were of the opinion that Wilson would treat us mercifully in order to turn us away from Germany – all of them were mistaken, the answer exceeds all baseness ever, he is not negotiating with Austria at all just with the Czechoslovakians!!
As a reaction to the foreshadowed collapse of Austria into federal states Hungary answers with separation from Austria and the foundation of a personal union.
Our people seem to have lost their head. From the bottom of my heart, I wish revenge on these brawlers. Truly every one should be convinced that our people prefer to live together further in peace and Harmony in a peaceful Austria.
but these brawler and betrayers of the fatherland envision something else.
