What if the Austro-Hungarian Empire reunited today? – VIDEO

2018 marked the 100th anniversary of the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Austria-Hungary). Despite the fact that a lot of time has passed since the event, new analyses and explanations come to light from time to time about how different the world would be if the territories were reunited today. Below we bring you a fresh video.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire, or Austria-Hungary, was a special dualism, more precisely a confederation that existed from 1867 until 1918 in Central Europe. It was made up of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Habsburg Empire, which was mostly a unity of independent states united by a joined ruler, joined foreign affairs, military affairs and financial background.

By 1918, the end of the lost World War I, the internal cohesion of the Monarchy and its two components had completely disappeared, and eventually the Monarchy had not simply disintegrated into two components, but a series of new states had emerged in its territory.

The “what if” scenarios always move people’s imaginations, which is probably also the reason behind the video below.

Just to highlight a few aspects, the reunited territory would be the 4th/6th most populated in Europe, while the change would affect the territories of 14 countries. Find out more from the video!
