  H-Net Review: Robert Gary Minnich on Slowenisch oder deutsch?: Nationale ...
The relation of German Carinthian colleagues to the emergence of nationalism on their home turf was more intimate.
A fundamental ideological opposition between liberalism and clerical conservatism was established which persisted in shaping the political profile of Carinthian politics throughout the waning decades of Habsburg dominion.
With the onset of World War I Carinthians found themselves in a situation where declaration of one's collective self-identification in terms of ethnic affiliation (i.e., national loyalty) became increasingly imperative to the pursuit of one's interests.

  Slovenians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is also an undercurrent of thinking amongst parts of the population that the Slovenian involvement in the partisan war against the Nazi occupation force was a bad thing, and indeed "Tito partisan" is a not an infrequent insult hurled against members of the minority.
Many Carinthians are (quite irrationally) afraid of Slovenian territorial claims, pointing to the fact that Yugoslav troups entered the state after each of the two World Wars.
The current governor, Jörg Haider, regularly plays the Slovenian card when his popularity starts to dwindle, and indeed relies on the strong anti-Slovenian attitudes in many parts of the province for his power base.

 The Role of the United States and the Carinthian Question 1918-1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Because the mainly peasant Carinthian Slovenes dwelled behind a mountain wall, partly shut off from their fellows to the south, because they had lived in a close symbiosis with the German-speakers ever since medieval times, they represented a special problem.
The Carinthian plebiscite proved that the settling of questions of sovereignty on a linguistic basis is not necessarily a satisfactory method.
The reaction of the Carinthian German-speakers and also part of the Carinthian Slovenes was vigorous and prompt despite the strains of a lost war.

How complicated the Carinthian identity is can be seen very well in its historical heritage, considering that the Duke Elector Stone and other symbolics are claimed in its own way by either, by Slovenian nation as an ethnical unity, and by Austria as a political unity.
In the period of nation formation besides regional tending Carinthian population developed clear national awareness and identity which were - according to their importance and exten­sivness - of a much a greater meaning, compared to the regional one.
We come across to even such statements as the basis for Carinthian population to be much more German as that was tried to be proved by Slovenian scientists by language- and ethimological researches and even more than that showed counts of population.

Following the memorandum sent by the Carinthian provincial government to Vienna as early as in 1843 and the establishment of the Main Railway Committee in 1851, the construction works began in Klagenfurt in 1857.
The company continued the works on the Carinthian railway line opening the first 45 km to Vuzenica on 13 November 1862, 127 km to Klagenfurt on 13 March 1863 and 39 km to Villach on 12 January 1864.
In 1871 the Carinthian railway line was extended by additional 411 km reaching Franzenfeste (today's Fortezza) in Tyrol, where the company had bought before and completed the Brenner line (Kufstein-Innsbruck-Franzensfeste-Ala (Verona)).

 Carinthia - a short historic survey
After tremendous success initialy, the Carinthian Resistance fighters reinforced with volunteers from other Austrian provinces were outnumbered ten to one and finally had to give into the South Slavs.
If the British, to whom all Carinthians committed to Austria are greatly indebted, had not urged the Yugoslav partisan army to withdraw from Carinthia –; which they did on 22 May 1945 – the atrocities against the Carinthian civilian population would undoubtedly have been even greater.
At many events on Carinthian soil, demands were still made for the annexation of "Slovene Carinthia" to Yugoslavia, although Slovenes even then only constituted around 10 per cent of the total population in the area.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Carinthians on this day.
Carinthians played a good counterattacking move down the left in the 88th minute, with Abelardo Alzamendi finishing well for 3 - 2.
Rembrandt Lammertink came close to levelling the score in the 89th minute, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post.

The social discipline that charactarizes Carinthians is individual as well as collective.
If you’re a properly conditioned resident of Klagenfurt standing at a red traffic light, you don’t even think of crossing—even if there’s not a car in sight, you wait until the light has changed.
Carinthians like their world the way it is and always has been, at least within recent memory.

He managed not just to maintain the share of the vote he won in 1999, when Carinthians last held regional elections, but even to marginally increase his party's standing.
Five years ago, that poll success was followed by an upsurge in popularity for his anti-immigrant, anti-Europe Freedom Party around the country, climaxing with its inclusion in the national government.
What Mr Haider's Carinthian successes will mean for the party at large is as yet unclear.

As they mixed with their newly found brethren in the faith, their Carinthian dialect mixed with the predominantly Tyrolese dialect of the original Hutterites from Moravia to create what is the modern everyday language of the Hutterites in America.
To this day the old sermons and songs from Moravia are used in the colonies; but if a Hutterite reads his Bible at home, it is most likely going to be a Lutheran Bible; although Martin Luther himself was known as a mortal enemy of the Anabaptists.
Of course, the Brandenburg dialect of the Lutheran Version is a far cry from the Carinthian dialect.

Carinthian cuisine is closely related to Italian cuisine and therefore known for all types of noodles.

The importance of the medioeval architecture is testified by many fortresses, the main castle and the townwalls and by the presence of two highly different but harmonized edifices as the Fürstenhof (Prince residence) and the Getreiderspeicher (grain silo).
The numerous military and religious buildings document the strategic interest of this old outpost of the Salzburg Archbischops located between the Mur Valley and the main Carinthian town of Klagenfurt, in the key-passage between Vienna and Venice.
Carinthia was a Dukedom at the end of Xth century, it belonged to various noble families including the Ottocarus from Boemia (XIIIth cent.), and finally in 1335 became part of the Habsburg domain under the rule of Albert II° the Sage.

To the east of the Carinthians there is a waste land [present-day central and eastern Hungary] and behind the waste land there is Bulgaria.
The waste land between Carinthia and Bulgaria is also mentioned in another place in the text, where it is described as being situated to the north of Istria, which in turn is to the north of Dalmatia.

Being so fond of children themselves, the Carinthians know exactly what families want on holiday, how to give all the members a good time and how to keep everyone happy at the same time.
Carinthians are hospitable by nature and tend to treat you more like a friend than a guest.
It is therefore little wonder that Carinthia’s family-friendly hotels cater specially for children, while ensuring that their parents also feel at home.

There is also an undercurrent of thinking amongst parts of the Carenthian population that the Slovenian involvement in the partisan war against the Nazi occupation force was a bad thing, and indeed "Tito partisan" is a not an infrequent insult hurled against members of the minority.
However, a recent poll suggests that a 2/3 majority of Carinthians are in favour of an increase of bilingual topographic signs in order to fulfil the requirements set by the State Treaty.
Another interesting phenomenon is the so called "Windischen-Theorie" [2] stating that the Slovenians can be split in two groups: actual Slovenians and Windische, based on differences in language between Austrian Slovenians, who were taught Slovenian standard language in school and those Slovenians, who spoke their local Slovenian dialect but went to German schools.

They saw themselves as Tyroleans, Carinthians or Viennese but hardly as Austrians.

The first mention of the Moravians, we find made in 825, by pope Eugenius II, in an epistle to the bishop of Faviana.[7] now called Vienna, anciently Vindobona, in which he appoints the archbishop of Lorc (which see was since removed to Saltzburg) vicar of the apostolic see in that nation.
The Moravians and Carinthians were Sclavonian nations which had seized on these countries.
The latter were governed by dukes, the former by kings, having first chosen Samo, a Frenchman from Senogagus, a country near Brussels, who had valiantly defended them against the Avarea or Huns of Pannonia, in 622.

While the majority of Austrians are familiar with the emergency numbers for the fire department, police and ambulance, few are aware of the number for accidents in the mountains: only 17% of Austrians know the alpine emergency number "140".

 Central Europe Review - CER - BlueEar Debate
Carinthians are traditionally very distrustful of their Slavic neighbors (since WW2), because the fear that Yugoslavia could want to annex the southern part of Carinthia (like they tried in 1945 (?)), was always present.
Generally one could say, support for Hitler was less in traditionally religious areas (as Tyrol), because Hitler's ideology opposed the strong role Catholicism played in their lives.
Hitler was born there, and there is still some small-scale underground right-wing activism going on there.
