Why was Austria-Hungary divided into a dozen states after WWI but Germany not?
I have a question about history. Why was Austria-Hungary divided into a dozen states after WWI but Germany not?
Austria-Hungary was divided into new states because the empire was made up of many ethnic groups with different languages and cultures, and there were nationalist movements among these groups that demanded their own states. In contrast, Germany was a more homogenous country and did not have the same internal conflicts.
