The Austro-Hungarian Empire, a vast empire that once spanned central Europe, has left a deep mark on history. However, the fate of this empire was full of twists and turns and drama. So, by whom did Austria-Hungary fall? ** After that, which countries has it become?
Historically, the fall of Austria-Hungary was not caused by a single force. After the end of the First World War, Austria-Hungary faced the dilemma of internal and external troubles. The intensification of the country, the collapse of the economy, and the huge attrition of the war have made the empire already crumbling. Externally, the Entente won the war and had their own interests in dealing with the defeated countries. Against this background, Austria-Hungary eventually came to an end.
Specifically, we can attribute the demise of Austria-Hungary to several factors:
The first is the intensification of internal ***. Within the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there were a large number of ethnic minority areas, such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Yugoslavia, etc. The people of these regions had a long history of dissatisfaction with Habsburg rule, and they longed for independence and freedom. Over time, these *** gradually intensified, eventually leading to the disintegration of the empire.
The second is the interference of external forces. After the end of the First World War, the victorious powers had their own interests in dealing with the defeated countries. The Entente wanted to weaken the defeated powers such as Germany and Austria-Hungary in order to better defend their interests in the future. As a result, the victorious powers redivided the territory of Austria-Hungary, which led to the eventual development of this empire.
So, which countries did Austria-Hungary become after **? In fact, the Austro-Hungarian ** was not done overnight. After the end of the First World War, the gradual disintegration of Austria-Hungary began. Its territory was divided among the surrounding countries. Specifically, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia and other countries separated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to form new independent states. Although these countries have experienced many twists and turns and changes in the course of their development after independence, they have gradually developed into modern countries, which have had a profound impact on the political and economic pattern of Europe and the world.
It is worth noting that although the Austro-Hungarian Empire no longer exists, its influence still continues in some ways to this day. For example, in the European political arena, relations between many countries are still influenced by historical factors. In addition, in terms of culture, education, etc., the legacy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire still affects people's lives to a certain extent.
