An Empire that existed over a hundred years ago. It formed in 1867 at the collapse of the Austrian Empire and collapsed due to ethnic tensions in World War I in 1918. In consisted of the Austrian half of the empire, which was mostly German speaking, and the predominately Hungarian speaking half of the empire. It is often called "The Dual Monarchy" because of it's Austrian royals and Hungarian royals. It was a European powerhouse which was a key player in European politics in the late 19th century. In the early 1900's, the empire annexed Bosnia which had a high population of ethnic Serbs. This led to tensions with Serbia, which led to World War I, during which the empire collapsed due to internal revolutions by the empire's ethnic minorities. Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Hungary were created from the empire's territories, while Poland, Romania, Italy, and Yugoslavia gained lands from the collapse of the empire. The empire was doomed to failure from the moment it was created because of the many ethnic groups in constant struggle for representation. The empire's collapse is often incorrectly attributed to World War I, but it really collapsed due to internal revolts which the empire, already weak from war, could not defeat. The war, if anything, accelerated the demise of the empire, it didn't cause it.
Austria Hungary was a European powerhouse, but due to its ethnically diverse nature, it was doomed from the moment it was born

After Roger told me he was going to have fajitas this evening, I was immediately HUNGERTAINED. I couldn't get the fajita urge off my mind all day and was set on having them that night too. HUNGERTAINMENT is a subconcious trait we all have and use.
