Unser Europa ist verloren. EU im Inneren und die RUS CHN und Mus, keine Chance mehr. Aber doch 2000 Jahre ok gewesen. Jetzt kommen die Anderen, die machens besser. Lebt wohl!
Vielleicht wäre es besser, wenn K.u.K. ..... Aber heutzutage geht es eher darum, so wie eigentlich immer, den üblichen Feind Paroli zu bieten, und das ist eine Aufgabe, die wir seit gut 100 Jahren nicht geschafft haben. Wer dann?
When all the different peoples have been so ... They could have built a new Empire!? Ok, then they did it in smaller versions. As far as I know it did work perfect!
How Austria-Hungary was called: the patchwork empire. A community of different peoples, united neither by a common national culture nor by a common idea. Switzerland also consists of "patches", but there is a general idea there. And here - nothing, so the state collapsed. And the music is pleasant. After all, the musical culture was on top. Mozart, Strauss, Liszt - they're all from there.
The uniting principle was Catholicism and a common history as a bastion of Europe against the Ottomans, and the state was split after being defeated by liberal nations in WWI.
We wouldn't collapse for a long time, if not for the Great War...we would have probably break up in the 1960s, as the world, especially Africa, started to struggle for independece
I can recognize even lot of Croatian fine music that is influenced by this. Well we were same empire for centuries. For example type this in youtube" Mimohod OSRH-Jarun(30.05.1995.) " (military parade in 1995 before operation Storm)

Sah! not only Austrians, Hungrians but also Cecks (sorry dont no in English), Boehmer und Maehrer, Ruthenen, Ukrainer, Slowenen, Kroaten, Italiener. Ersuche um Nachsicht wenn ich eine Volk vergessen haben sollte. Nun nicht alles war gut, aber immer noch bessern als heute. Und der Russe haette damals auch nicht .......
What a culture, what a civilization it was! Though, both Austria🇦🇹 and Hungary🇭🇺 of today still the same. Never understood why anyone would emigrate to Wild West to fight Indians; must have been real desperate😞
Look it up: “Dallas Texas Blessed Emperor Karl von Habsburg Symposium”: This is the centennial of Blessed Karl’s death 2022. THERE IS A BIG CONFERENCE, 15 OCT 2022 ON BLESSED KARL & Empress ZITA. With Bishop Athanasius Schneider, ambassador Eduard von Habsburg; BL. Karl’s granddaughter, author Mr. Charles Coulombe etc.
I don’t know if anyone else has pondered this question but how on earth did Austria-Hungary have such an incompetent army in WW1, yet had the most patriotic well choreographed marches out there.
Austria-Hungary's "uselessness" is exaggerated as they produced much more oil than all other Central Power members combined (important for Germany's naval effort), gave Germany one of the best WW1 artillery, and kept the Franco-Italian navies busy (they could've caused potential trouble for Germany). However, the Austro-Hungarian army was plagued with arrogant and incompetent generals (except Boroevic), terrible logistics, many inexperienced & unmotivated troops, and fighting too many fronts at once. They had their part in helping Germany too, but overall were far from good.
they were not that bad. Vs Italians that had much stronger military, AH Empire was fighting very well(lot of Croats/Slovenians/Bosniaks and even Serbs fought here). They were facing huge Russian Empire in the same times plus others . Not great not terrible.
