Did not manage, neither with citzenship, nationality and ethnicity parameters...he may be Austrian (-1920), Czechoslovak (1920-1939) and French (1939-)...(KIENGIR (talk) 19:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC))[reply]
"According to his autobiography, at the beginning of 1924 his friend Baron Louis de Rothschild introduced him to Max Warburg who offered to finance his movement for the next three years by giving him 60,000 gold marks. Warburg remained sincerely interested in the movement for the remainder of his life and served as an intermediate for Coudenhove-Kalergi with influential Americans such as banker Paul Warburg and financier Bernard Baruch."
Kalergi's autobiography, Crusade for Pan-Europa (available on Internet Archive) doesn't mention any Rothschild or payment of 60,000 marks. It vaguely mentions at one point the "good offices" of Mr. Warburg, along with a litany of other (non-Jewish) financiers. This remark was added on May 26, 2014, and apparently hasn't been removed since, but it's an apparent (likely antisemitic) fabrication. Xorometros (talk) 18:45, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In his 1925 book Practical Idealism, Coudenhove-Kalergi theorized that the historical development causing the death of European hereditary social classes would lead to an all-encompassing race of the future made up of "Eurasian-Negroid[s]", would replace "the diversity of peoples" and "[t]oday's races and classes" with a "diversity of individuals" 69.174.138.44 (talk) 02:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The lead describes Kalergi as a native Austrian-Hungarian citizen, but Austria-Hungary didn't have a common citizenship (rather, people were either Austrian citizens or Hungarian citizens). This information is also not verified in the body, so I'm wondering if it should be removed or if someone more knowledgeable might have additional sources on the topic.

A documentary about Kalergi I saw recently contradicts the end of the Japan paragraph. Probably, Kalergi did not go to Japan in 1970 (since he was sick ? he died two years later) and his last trip to Tokyo was in 1967. That is why I suppressed two sentences, and now the paragraph looks like :
"In 1967 Coudenhove-Kalergi was awarded the Kajima Peace Award, and was invited to Japan by Morinosuke Kajima as the president of Kajima Institute of International Peace, Yoshinori Maeda as the president of NHK, and Kaoru Hatoyama as the president of Yuai Youth Association. Together with his second wife Alexandra in a wheelchair,[1] Coudenhove-Kalergi stayed in Japan from 26 October to 8 November. He was also accompanied by his young brother Gerolf's daughter Barbara.[2] Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi was also awarded First Order of the Sacred Treasure of Japan by the Emperor Hirohito. At this occasion he met with Empress Kōjun, their son Crown Prince Akihito (to whom he had presented his book in 1953 in Switzerland), and Crown Princess Michiko. This time, he had returned to Japan for the first time since his childhood 71 years earlier. [3]" Babylone445 (talk) 16:29, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
