The World History. Austro-Hungarian Empire

A little over a century ago, a state ceased to exist in the center of Europe, the fate of which cannot but surprise. Unloved by almost all neighbors: for some it was an enemy, for the second - an opponent, for the third - the enslave. Causing difficult feelings in their own subjects. Moaning under the oppression of social and national problems. And at the same time - a place of concentration of brilliant minds, a source of fashion trends and an example of an amazing combination of incompatible, seemingly components. Despite many disadvantages, Austria-Hungary was perhaps the first successful experience of the peaceful coexistence of Europeans within the framework of a single border with a single currency and the rhythm of life. About how the biased monarchy was born, what it lived and what the last sighs were, this book will tell.
