	Description:		The declaration of war in 1914 was initially met with jubilation by the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, in Vienna, Sigmund Freud shared their mood. But, like his fellow-citizens, Freud expected a quick war.

Michael Shapira reflects on Freud's 1915 text, Thoughts for the Times on War and Death.
