Czech here, united empire when?

not evil but to function properly you need common things
common language, common currency, common costumes, common taxes
it was already bad they had to make a compromise with hungarians

many minorities, everyone wants resources for themselfs, said resources are spread thin and fair but at the expense of modernization

The amount of visual art, literature, music and cuisine Habsburg monarchy produced was basically unmatched for its time. It was the main cultural hub of Europe.

>>2975213
It's probably not a good idea for cultural hubs to start world wars.

They started a war against Serbia, which Serbia provoked. It was Germany, Russia and France who made it into a world war, it would be a regional conflict at best if Russians and Germans didn't exploit it for their imperial ambitions.

no, it was ottoman tier

proof the serbian government arranged the assassination?

>"When I attempted to find a simple formula for the period in which I grew up, prior to the First World War I hope that I convey its fulness by calling it the Golden Age of Security. Everything in our almost thousand year-old Austrian monarchy seemed based on permanency, and the State itself was the chief guarantor of this stability."

Stefan Zweig

>"My strongest experience was the War and the destruction of my fatherland, the only one I ever had, the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary."

Joseph Roth

These guys were secular Jews, they were praising a conservative Catholic monarchy, that's impressive and to me it means it couldn't have been that bad.

Austria-Hungary was very tolerant towards Jews, and Jewish citizens were often the most loyal to Franz Joseph.

Considering what happened afterwards, I would say they were right to fear the end of the Empire
