Austrian Hungary Empire

-Austria-Hungary pulled in the armies from its European empire.

-Germany eagerly entered the war as an ally, but its much greater expertise in
waging war soon made it the dominant partner in the new alliance
-By 1916, Austria-Hungary was following Germany's lead, and low morale coupled
with an ethnically diverse and increasingly Balkanized army began to weaken the
once-formidable empire.
-As the war dragged on, Austria-Hungary's empire began to dissolve.
-By the end of the war, the Czechs and Slavs, disillusioned by their dysfunctional
overlords, had declared independence.
-The Allies, seizing the opportunity, announced their support of these breakaway
countries, encouraging more dissolution in the Austria-Hungarian empire.
-On Oct. 31, Austria dissolved the Austria-Hungarian union, and by the end of the
war in November, the Hungarian part of the empire had lost nearly three-fourths of
the territory held prior to the war.
