Vienna Conference (August 1, 1917)
Strategy meeting during World War I / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vienna Conference of August 1, 1917 was a German-Austro-Hungarian governmental conference designed to regulate the sharing of the quadruple European conquests,[Note 1] against a backdrop of growing rivalry and divergence between the Imperial Reich[Note 2] and the Dual Monarchy. Convened at a time when the dual monarchy was sinking into a crisis from which it proved unable to emerge until the autumn of 1918, the Vienna meeting was a further opportunity for German envoys to reaffirm the Reich's weight in the direction of the German-Austrian-Hungarian alliance, on the one hand, and in Europe, on the other.
