"I don’t want old, failed Austria… I’d rather have young, rich Yugoslavia!"

I love the depiction of Austria in this poster, especially that beckoning finger. And in case you’re wondering about the junk in Austria’s hair: It’s leaves and acorns. Don’t ask me why. See also: The Carinthian Plebiscite.

    The (oak) leaves and acorns probably represent Germandom (compare e.g. the use of the oak leaf on German euro coins). The authors of the poster are probably suggesting that the Slovenians of Carinthia will be germanized if they become a part of Austria.

    Yup, oak leaves and acorns are German symbols.

    Like on their medals.

    Now that you guys mention it, I can’t believe I missed the connection. Oak leaves are indeed on German euro coins, as J. says, just like they were on the old pfennig before that.

    Perhaps the fact that it was Austria threw me off a bit. I would have imagined an edelweiss in her hair being more typical. Or a fresh batch of Kaiserschmarren.

    Mmmmmmm, Kaiserschmarren.

    The German symbol is oak tree whereas the Slovenian symbol is linden tree.

    Perhaps we should have a new plebiscite today with the words, “I don’t want old, failed Austria…. I’d rather have young, rich Slovenia!”.

    The outcome would have been far different.

    People in Lower Styria and Carniola were not asked at all what they wanted.
    Big powers used to treat peoples like cattle.
