Question

Ezra Anderson · Accepted Answer

The Austro-Hungarian empire was dismantled

Austria was viewed as an aggressor state under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and punished as such. It was compelled to give up territory in order to establish the contemporary states of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. It also had to give up provinces to other states, such as Romania for Transylvania and Italy for its Italian possessions. One could not combine with Germany.

undefined After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the Austro-Hungarian Empire ceased to exist. The treaty led to the disintegration of the empire, which had been one of the Central Powers during World War I. The treaty's provisions included the breakup of Austria-Hungary into several new states, including Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. These new states emerged from the territories formerly controlled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, marking the end of its existence as a unified political entity.
