Why was Austria-Hungary divided into a dozen states after WWI but Germany not?
That makes sense. Were there any other factors that played a role in the division of Austria-Hungary?
Yes, there were geopolitical factors at play as well. The Allied powers wanted to weaken the Central Powers and redraw the map of Europe to create more stable nation-states. The Treaty of Versailles, which ended WWI, included provisions for the breakup of Austria-Hungary and the creation of new states, such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
