Why couldn't Austria win the Brother's War? If the Habsburgs unified Germany, and Vienna was capital, Germany would be much more cultured instead of the bland Prussian "work literally 24/7 and literally nothing else matters" thing that it became.
>>69144297
But not the MOST liveable lmao
>>69144297
They're probably ashamed to be bordering a third world country like Slovakia
>close to Bratislava

>>69151396
This desu
have there been any terror attacks in austria of late?
what's their stance on refugees etc
>>69152596
There were some terrorist attacks in the 70s and 80s.
Austria is one of the main destinations for asylum seekers in Europe, along with Germany and Sweden.

Still, there are no ghettoes in Vienna. Almost the third of the city lives in public housing, which is decent.

That's a con
>>69144297

too racist for me
whats the deal of living in a city where you are hated due your skin color
>>69154321
Don't worry, there are about as four times as much Poles and your fellow Yugos as Slovaks in Vienna.
You roaches are everywhere.
>>69154467
Croats aren't Yugos, how can Turks be Yugos?
>>69154683
Yugos - Croats, Bosniaks and Serbs.
Vienna was complete shit tier when i visited
Most livable cities in Europe are Madrid, Milan, and Porto
>>69154725
Actuall, it's much more than that. I didn't notice Serbs at first.
>>69154807
vienna confirmed for serbian holy cradle
anyways i liked prague way more, it's just much more comfy
>>69154792
i like this Madrid propaganda
>>69144297
I think Europeans have different ideals than me as a whole.
Anytime I mention that I'd take Geneva over Vienna or Venice over Florence I get skewered.
Vienna is shit.
>dirty as fuck
>full (even fuller than most big European cities) of immigrants
>people there are worse snobs that even the people of Munich
>dialect is fucking disgusting
Only thing it has going for it is that anglos did not bomb it.
