The Austro-Hungarian Empire

Australians refused to give rights to the emu minority and over the years tentions finally bursted leading to the mass murder of many bogans living in Emu lands that turned into a mass revolt known as the Emu war. It was so destructive that even the aboriginals started to revolt. Hungary refused to help stating that Austria would be a better ally.

>inb4 it was simply too far away

100 years from now we'll be asking why did the american empire failed. wat will we say?

or
>American

and certainty not an empire

>U
>S
>A

>imposing "austrian" (i.e. german) on everyone else
>not leading to civil war
though tbf your right had they tried to germanize early and consistently they might have suceeded. but that had to be tried as early as 1700 or so. Hungarians had no problem magyarizing and would have been successful had they been given more time, but the problem in the first place is that the hungarians had their own autonomy to do this in the first place. but then again, this brings us to the problem of hungary and the habsburgs failure to subdue it to the crown like they were able to the bohemians at the white mountain in 1619 onward.

Tragic

>it was so destructive that even the aboriginals started to revolt.
weren't there some pro-government tribes?

Yes but they were severely out numbered by the anti government tribes and most of them were completly wiped out in the first few weeks of the war.

After years of fighting the emus prevailed capturing Canberra in 1942 where the newly formed "Emu Republic" cut all ties with Hungary and formed and alliance with the kiwis after their uprising in 1945.

Reading the Second World War right now, and found it interesting that Churchill considered the breakup of the empire one of the "cardinal sins" committed by the victors of WW1

Surely the break up was inevitable though after the whole Serbian incident and the empire only served as a German client state tipping the power balance on the continent

I bet Churchill really started to regret going to war aginst Germany, especially when dolfy sued for peace.

Churchill thought that the smaller states left after the breakup were even more susceptible/less resistant to German bullying/influence than the Empire united would have been

Here's the passage, for those who'd like to know:
>The second cardinal tragedy was the complete break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by the Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon. For centuries this surviving embodiment of the Holy Roman Empire had afforded a common life, with advantages in trade and security, to a large number of peoples, none of whom in our own time had the strength or vitality to stand by themselves in the face of pressure from a revivified Germany or Russia.All these races wished to break away from the Federal or Imperial structure, and to encourage their desires was a deemed a liberal policy. The Balkanisation of South-eastern Europe proceeded apace, with the consequent relative aggrandisement of Prussia and the German Reich, which, though tired and war-scarred, was intact and locally overwhelming. There is not one of the peoples or provinces that constituted the Empire of the Habsburgs to whom gaining their independence has not brought the tortures which ancient poets and theologians had reserved for the damned. The noble capital of Vienna, the home of so much long-defended culture and tradition, the centre of so many roads, rivers, and railways, was left stark and starving, like a great emporium in an impoverished district whose inhabitants have mostly departed.
