Why did Allies dissolve Austro-Hungarian empire after WW I while the big-bad-guy Germany only got a slight spanked ?
>>
"The Allies" did not really dissolve it as much as its constituent parts did.

The situation in Germany was incomparable with no large scale independence movements or various minorities.

>Italy
>Central Power Alliance

you realize they refused to join in the soiree and in 1915 they flipped sides right?
>>
>>842264
That's not entirely fair to Italy, the Triple Alliance was a defensive one and they had no obligation to join the Central Powers.
>>
>>842240
This is a meme. Other than the Serbs nobody really wanted independence that much.
>>
>>842232

self determination of peoples, nigga

there were like 8 different ethnicities in the AH empire that wanted independence, germany was essentially a nation-state
>>
britbongistan and cowardly french

you cant really balkanize germany, plus it was just in the right place between western yurop and the forming giant USSR
entente wanted to make sure germany have no powerful allies
>>
>>842286
It is not a meme, you are reading something in my post which is not there.

Saying Austria-Hungary was rotten with virtually everyone wanting out & be independent, now that would indeed be the meme you refer to.

However, that is not the same as saying it was internal pressures - although not universal or spread evenly - rather than Allied acts that led to the dissolution of A-H.
>>
>>842299
Well yeah, you could say they hijacked some minor currents and utilized their goals to destroy the empire. The point is it the internal tensions were an excuse and not the real reason.
>>
>>842273
Well Italy had a hate boner for Austria since the 1804.

The first second and third wars for independence also didn't help the relations.

I guess this is why Italy was quick to jump to the UK and French ship.

>>
>>842232
One of reasons lead to Germany's aggression behavior pre WW II . The Versailles treaty pretty much leaved Germany unharmed while weakening her neighbors.
>>
>>842368
That's because Versailles concerned Germany and only Germany, Austria-Hungary got sanctioned by different treaties (St. Germain and Trianon)
>>
>>842347
>being this nit picky about The Kingdom of Savoy, Duchy of Milan, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Kingdom of Two Sicily, Duchy of Lucca, The Paple States, Duchy of Perma, and The City State of Benevento

Is your autism satisfied? It's a pain in the fucking tits to type that all out and remember which ones play between 1804-1871. It is easier to name the region in its entirety.
>>
>>842374
i think that he is refering to the fact that their respective treaties and/or endings to the war had vastly different outcomes

>>Italy

Italy is a french social construct, they took french law codes and french monarchy; they should speak french and pay taxes to the french state as well.

Yeah no

Read up about the 'new Europe school' (The New Europe was a magazine that ran until 1920/1921) within the UK at the time who were brought into the government to advise on policy and advise during the paris peace conference. The two 'main' members of it were Robert William Seton-Watson and James Wycliffe Headlam-Morley, both were accepted as the foremost experts on Central and Eastern Europe, particularly every single one of the nationalities contained within Austria-Hungary.

They were both proponents of moving beyond the militaristic top-down jingoistic nationalism that had resulted in the formation of Germany, and in favour of a popular, bottom-up nationalism of the kind that resulted in the revolutions of 1848, a much more 'liberal' nationalism anyway.

As such they also believed in protecting national minorities, and advocated promoting a more liberal nationalism in smaller nation-states to counterbalance against the nationalism that had been seen in large multi-ethnic empires; which they thought had contributed largely to the outbreak of the war.
>>
You couldn't really split up germany like you could split up Austria-Hungary, there wasn't really any regiobalism in germany to exploit nor where there large ethnic divides like in A-H, besides A-H had already pretty much collapsed by the end of the war
It's pretty hard to justify splitting up a nation state like that which has surrendered.
>>
>>842232
Because Austrian Empire was comprised of several different nationalities whereas German Empire was mostly just Germans. It was easier to dissolve.
>>
>>842286
nigguh everyone wanted out stop pulling shit out of your ass
>>
>>844663
But that's not true. Not even the Czechs wanted out, they wanted a Hungarian kind of deal.
>>
>>842232
Allies are the true evil
>>
>>844668
That's true, but only until the war
>>
>>844783
Yes, the war really kickstarted the dismantling of A-H. You had minority but vocal groups like Masaryk and co. for the Czechs basically transforming a nation mostly wanting autonomy within the empire into a nation wanting to get rid of anything Austrian in a very short space of time.
>>
>>842286
czeh wanted, romanians did want to disolve, but for example croats/slovenes were happy with the monarchy, and slovaks barely had a national identity
