While the end of the US's civil war marked a boom in US tourism in Europe, Austria's own civil war in 1934 both curtailed American tourism in Austria and marked a small, but important, wave of Austrian emigration to the US.

(Series: American Studies in Austria - Vol. 14) [Subject: Social History, U.S. Studies, Austrian Studies, Migration Studies]
