Austrian Habsburg Empire
Austria was one of the main powers in Europe for centuries, but that meant that it was involved in most of the European conflicts in the 18th, 19th, and 20th century. Also while many countries were becoming liberal, industrial, and very nationalistic The Austrian Habsburg Empire remained dynastic, absolutist, and agrarian. These problems were not solved until the fall of Austria after WWI. They agreed to the Compromise of 1867 because they wanted the support of the Hungarians because they had a strong economy, military, and politics. They also had just been defeated by Prussia making it impossible for them to be included in German affairs. It was a success because they soon had established Habsburg rule in Hungary and

    This nationalism, however, was quickly turning into ultranationalism as relations between Serbia and Austria grew worse. As the tension in Europe came to a snapping point, countries began to use these alliances more. Serbia and Austria were at the center of World War One when it began. After the war between those two countries broke out, the other European nations were quick to fall behind, as seen in the source. Each country was quick to align itself with those they’d previously formed pacts with.…

    The Austro-Hungarian Empire was huge multi-national empire. Some of the mayor nationalities represented, other then the Austrians and Hungarians, were Czechs and Pols. The empire was a dual-Monarchy, because of the Austrians defeat under the Austro-Prussian war. The Austrian empire was weak and in need of a new government. The Hungarians grasped their opportunity to demand more power and a dual-Monarchy, which made Franz Joseph I both the emperor of Austria and the king of Hungary. Some of the other large groups of people (i.e. the Czechs and poles) in the empire felt it unfair that the Hungarians should get power and the right to rule over their part of the empire when they themselves had no influence. Therefor one could say that it is due to great ethnic diversity and dissatisfaction within these ethnic groups that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was weak and unstable.…

    Tensions grew when Baron von Aehrenthal became Austria’s new foreign minister. His belief that an aggressive foreign policy demonstrating that Austria was still a force to be reckoned with would eliminate any trouble against their government. However during the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913, Serbia had won in both wars and won more land out of them. This success rate in Serbia had annoyed Austria-Hungary and they were now convinced that they need to crush Serbia.…

    Austria had a massive empire in the early 19th century, Italy only being a small part. The 1815 Congress of Vienna had given Austria direct control over Lombardy and Venetia, and had also put an Austrian family in charge of ruling smaller duchies such as Parma and Modena. As such, Austria had dominating control over a lot of Italy. However, this was not the only reason why Italian revolutionaries failed. Other factors included the fact that there was no foreign support against Austria and other foreign rulers in Italy and the fact that there was a lack of cooperation between the various revolutionaries.…

    Devotion from the person to the ambition of their nation is a cause of how the war began. Nationalism within a country so strong, that it causes the collapse of the peace, or the fire to the gunpowder. When royalty is greeted in public, it should be with open arms, warm spirits, and hope of a new beginning. Though, with the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, of Austria, this statement becomes a spurious claim. The trusting gesture of Franz to the people he would have soon ruled, soon became the death of him. The Congress of Berlin in 1878 Austria-Hungary had been given the right to administer Bosnia and Herzegovina on the western border of Serbia. Thousands of Slavs lived in that area, but in 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed these ideas outright, which infuriated the Serbs, who hoped to absorb all the Slavs into their nation. Serbia may have been small and insignificant to Austria-Hungary; however, the one small…

    The Spanish had little respect for Indian culture. As soon as their boots hit the ground, they set about subverting and destroying every aspect of the Indian way of life. The Aztecs attempted to befriend the Spanish explorers, but when Hernan Cortez heard his capitol of Vera Cruz had been plundered, he capture and killed their leader Montezuma II. The Incas didn’t fare any better. Francisco Pizarro, driven mad with greed, kidnapped the Incan king, Atahualpa and forced his people to pay an outrageous ransom of gold before executing him. Soon after these tragic events, the Spanish set up encomienda, a system of government similar to the feudal system of the middle ages. Under this system, Spanish military commanders were granted land on which several Indian tribes lived. They forced these indigenous people to convert to Christianity, work in the gold and silver mines, and pay tribute for the protection of their homes.…

    The crisis came after a long and difficult series of diplomatic clashes between the Great Powers (Italy, France, Germany, the British Empire, the Austria-Hungarian Empire and Russia) over European and colonial issues in the decade before 1914 that had left tensions high. In turn these diplomatic clashes can be traced to changes in the balance of power in Europe since 1867.[2] The more immediate cause for the war was tensions over territory in the Balkans. Austria-Hungary competed with Serbia and Russia for territory and influence in the region and they pulled the rest of the Great Powers into the conflict through their various alliances and treaties.…
