Does the Austro Hungarian Empire still exist today????????

It's already disintegrated.

It is divided into two countries, Austria and Hungary.

It doesn't exist anymore. It is divided into Austria and Hungary.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was originally a product of Austria's forcible annexation of Hungary. With the defeat in World War I, the upsurge of nationalism at home, and the support of the international community for "national self-determination" at that time, it was inevitable to separate again.

After the Hungarian Revolution was suppressed in 1848, in 1867, in order to prevent Hungary from becoming independent again, the Austrian Empire signed the "Austria-Hungary Compromise" and reorganized into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hungary gained a high degree of autonomy, but the Austrian monarch still served as the king of Hungary and became a political state, which was dissolved after World War I in 1918.

Birth and development.

After the annexation of the Kingdom of East Francia to the Kingdom of Middle Francia, it was renamed the Roman Empire in 962 and declared its succession to the Western Roman Empire, which was religiousized under Frederick I and called the Holy Roman Empire.

The empire was a federal empire that was initially ruled by an emperor with real power, who was elected. At its peak, it included present-day Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, and some territories in northeastern France.

In German, Austria means "eastern frontier", which was originally a vague geographical concept that generally referred to the frontier territories of imperial Bavaria and Styria.

Austria-Hungary fell because of the First World War, because of the infiltration of fascism, so it existed for a short time.

After the end of World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was torn apart. For the victorious powers, the dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire into multiple nation-states was inevitable in accordance with the Fourteen Points of Peace proclaimed by Woodrow Wilson of the United States.

It is important to note that the dismemberment of Austria-Hungary was not the original aim of the Entente, and this proposal did not gain support until later in the war. At the beginning, many people thought that the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not only help solve the local national problem, but would only make the situation in the region more unstable, and in fact, these unstable situations became the source of fascist infiltration.

The political system of the Austro-Hungarian Empire:

The Austro-Hungarian Empire had three different **s**: Hungary**, Austria**, and one ** under the Emperor. Hungary and Austria each have their own parliaments and their own prime ministers.

The power of the emperor was theoretically supreme, but in practice it was limited. The Emperor's **** was in charge of the army, navy, diplomacy, and foreign affairs. Some regions within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, such as Galicia and Croatia, enjoyed a special status, and they had a special ** form.

The common ** of the two regions of Austria and Hungary consisted of a Common Council of Ministers, whose members included three ministers, the prime ministers of the two regions, some archdukes and the emperor himself.

Each of the two parliaments sent a delegation of 60 members to discuss the financial plan and other bills of the Common Council of Ministers, so that each region ** had some influence on the work of the common **, and in general, the joint parliament had no real power.

Because it can only send notes to each other, when the Austrian and Hungarian delegations fail to reach consensus in the two notes, they will vote separately, and it will not be able to debate and question the affairs of ** jointly from beginning to end. Administratively, ultimately the co-ministers were accountable only to the Emperor, not to the Parliament and the people, and the Emperor himself had the right to make the final decisions on foreign and military policy.

Austria-Hungary provoked World War I and allied itself with the Second German Reich against the Entente powers (Britain, France, Russia, etc.). After the end of World War I, the German Empire surrendered, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was dissolved, divided into Austria, Hungary and other countries.

History tells us that militaristic states do not last long, because excessive militarism can lead to wars and other adverse effects.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a union of Austria and Hungary, and it also occupied a number of national territories, including Bohemia, the Balkans, and so on. Its country is not a single nation-state, the national cohesion is weak, the centrifugal force of the occupied ethnic groups is strong, and they aspire to independence. Hungary, as a mainstream ethnic group, felt that it was treated as a second-class citizen, and it was also very unhappy.

Austria-Hungary was defeated in World War I and left it to be slaughtered as a defeated nation. In consideration of national independence, it was divided into several countries. However, it is worth noting that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was broken up into several nation-states, which continued to exist and did not perish.

It's a bit like the collapse of the USSR.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated naturally.

In World War I, Austria-Hungary and Germany were both part of the Central Powers, but were defeated and dissolved in 1918, and the First Austrian Republic and the Kingdom of Hungary became the de jure successor states of Austria-Hungary, and the independent national states established on the homeland of Austria-Hungary also included Czechoslovakia and Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. Parts of the territory were also inherited by the Second Polish Republic and Romania.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a typical multi-ethnic country, in which no single ethnic group could account for more than 50% of the population, so various national affairs of Austria-Hungary often required representatives of the 12 ethnic groups in the country to jointly decide. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was one of the five traditional European powers and one of the world powers at that time, and before World War I, it spanned eastern, central and southern Europe, and was the second largest in Europe, second only to the Russian Empire; It has the largest total population, slightly inferior to Russia and the German Empire, and is the third largest in Europe.

Nation

The two peoples who dominated the two parts of the empire were not actually dominant: in Austria, the Germans were only 36 per cent, and in Hungary, the Hungarians were less than half.

Czechs, Poles, Ukrainians, Slovenians and Italians all tried to gain a greater say in the Austrian part.

Meanwhile, in the Hungarian part, Romanians, Slovaks, Croats, and Serbs also challenged Hungarian dominance. Romanians and Serbs also fought for union with the newly formed kingdoms of Romania and Serbia.

The rulers of Hungary were more reluctant to surrender their rights than the German rulers in the Austrian part. But in 1868, a year after they gained autonomy, they granted partial autonomy to the Kingdom of Croatia.
