Tell me about the Austro-Hungarian empire

You wot?
Industry in Transleithania spread and grew at quite respectable ratesfrom the 1880s. Budapest became the second largest milling centre of the world, industry giants like Weiss were some of the military's top suppliers, Ganz produced everything that was high technology at the time, steam turbines, generators, transformators, dreadnoughts, all sorts of machinery, and the list of these kind of firms, be it electric, machine or chemical industry is endless.

Just take a look at increase of number of factory workers in Hungary as % of population.

1890: 10%
1900: 15%
1910: 18%

Western European average was 30% at the time. While there is a noticable lag there was an undoubted convergence.
What you mean of 1920 was not industrialisation in sense as above, but rather a restructuring of industries and markets following WWI and territorial loss.

Also worth noting that while between 1870 and 1890 foreign investment in Hungary was 70% of all capital investments, the numbers changed and by 1910 Hungarian capitalists provided 75%.

multi ethnic but with continuity and purpose therefore enemy of ((())).

I have no clue the differences between Yugo/AH and America.

Not to mention the sizeable industries in Austria or especially Bohemia.

Glorious Germans created something beautiful, and then a few jingos destroyed it.

the world went to shit after it was destroyed, the Holy Roman Emperor was the only thing delaying the ends of times.

An example of multiculturalism not working.

Best country in the world, they print the face of Franz Joseph on our mineral water.

Solid proof that multi-culturalism never works

It was okay but it had to die so we could build Grossserbiums

>AH was multiculti

I want this meme to die.

What did he mean by this?

W-what...?

>No real discrimination or persecution based on ethnicity
W-what?

Okay so I'm somewhat ignorant when it comes to the Balkans. Can someone explain to me why there are no Bosniaks in Bosnia?

They didn't count them as separate.

Ah, I thought that might be the case. Wouldn't that map trigger a lot of Serbs/Croats/Bosniaks, then?

Lumping the Croats and Serbian together, ignoring the vaguely distinct Dalmatians and the clearly distinct Bosniaks must be triggering

They are all degenerate anyway

Contemporary intepretations of multiculturalism cannot be applied to the ethnic interactions of Austria-Hungary.

Many prominent elements of todays liberal multiculturalism were missing, such as promotion of many cultures, promotion of interethnic dialogue, equality of cultures and so on.

The divides between various ethnicities was largely political that had historical roots. One of the easiest way to see this is to observe their societal structure, only Germans, Hungarians and to a degree Croats had a full society, while other groups largely lacked stratas above peasentry.

The whole issue is compunded by the fact lot of people were simply not aware that their prime identity should be based on their language (as instigated by nationalist groups), for but perhaps the last 1-2 decade of Austria-Hungary religion and regional identity was a way more important link - Catholic Germans married Catholic Hungarians, but a Catholic Hungarian never married a Calvinist Hungarian.

Austria-Hungary was multiethnic, and had a degree of cultural pluralism. Only in the larger urban center can we at all talk about any notions of interculturality, and no multiculturalism whatsoever.

It was pretty interesting and it's a shame we can't have threads about it on Veeky Forums without being memed to death

But then Veeky Forums been cancered by memesters since day one
