<br/><br/> How and why did the promise of oil fail Galicia and the Austrian Empire, which at the beginning of the 20th century ranked third among the world's oil-producing states? Alison Frank traces the interaction of technology, nationalist rhetoric, social tensions, provincial politics, and entrepreneurial vision in shaping the Galician oil industry.
