Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'Austro-Hungarian Empire'

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a dual monarchy in Central Europe that existed from 1867 to 1918, formed as a compromise between the Austrian Empire and Kingdom of Hungary. This multinational state encompassed numerous ethnic groups across territories that today span over a dozen modern nations, making it a complex political entity whose dissolution following World War I dramatically reshaped European borders and power dynamics. In alternate history scenarios, the survival or different collapse of Austria-Hungary frequently serves as a divergence point for exploring different outcomes of European nationalism, World War I, and 20th century geopolitics.
