Why is Austrian history and empire so underrated?

It seems like they got overshadowed by Prussia in very late 19th century then Germany in early 20 and completely dropped from view even though they were a main player in European geopolitics and protected Europe from Ottomans for centuries.

Here's a short summeary of Austrian history

>>1585110
Them being on the receiving end of height of Revolutionary France or Frederick the Great exactly because Austria was the foremost German power in Europe does not make them incompetent.

Their cavalry was famous and they could field competent armies that made them able to hold an empire bordered by PLC and Ottomans during their height while also challenging French position and they managed to expand into Balkans against Ottomans in Austria-Turkish war.

The interesting thing is that Germans were doing quite well during Hasburg hegemony fof hundreds of years
They didn't even have to go 70 years under a Prussian one to get almost fully genocided east of the Oder.((Here i am counting the start of the Prussian hegemony from the German unification wars))

Why did Prussian military aristocracy hate Germans?

As soon as Prussia in a flash of brilliance of Bismarck got control of other German states they repeatedly run them to the ground and got Austria entangled in it and dismantled too.

It's only underrated on meme boards like /his/, because anonymous posting allows butthurt serbs and illiterate americans to spam shit nonstop.

Just take a look at this retard posting the Karansebes meme that isn't even rooted in actual history: >>1585110

May as well post Star Wars "history" and act like it's real.

Because Prussia, people masturbate to Prussian army and their military music, yet I would say Austria has done so much for music and culture, yet they aren't recognized.

>protected Europe from Ottomans for centuries

They basically wanted peace with the Turks and until the 1700 resorted to snatch away and incorporate the rests of the kingdoms that had actually fought the Turks and failed (hungarians, croatians) as a result of the Franco-Ottoman alliance. After 1700 they settled things with the Ottomans and didn't move a finger to liberate the balkans from ottoman rule.

>snatch away and incorporate the rests of the kingdoms that had actually fought the Turks and failed
you mean liberating countries de iure ruled by Habsburgs. And there were several Austro-Ottoman wars in 18th century.

Would say that was about as much France's fault as it was Austria's. Mostly the pope being a corrupted cunt.

>ww1
Germany ((Prussia)) turned a local conflict into a world war by drawing France, the UK and the USA into it.

Prussia yet again. Pic related
