Not only after the Great Depression. In late 1918/early 1919, it was the common expectation that German Austria should join the united Germany - after all, all the obstacles that prevented that in the 1860s had been removed. It didn't happen because the Allies prohibited it in the Paris Treaties, but it was not just thing in the 1930s.

@@varana The Pan-German idea was just a thing people suggested when Bismark united Germany. I couldnt find any evidence on why they cheered for it. But as I said, I dont think its because of "German Austria". I believe its because of economics. I just cant imagine anything else. Austrians fricking hate Germans. We only really get along with the Swiss and Bavarians who are culturally simular to us. Its such a dumb term anyway.. Truth is...There isnt a german culture. Its just some dumb idea that started up in the 1800s and completely died after World War 2.

Is there a site/souce, where I can find where which division of the A-H army moved during the war? As I want to find more information on the route and the battles my grand-grandfather might have served in. Please help if you can and thank you in advance :)

The Kriegsarchiv in Vienna is where everything is kept about the Austrian Empire's armed forces until 1918. The only issue is that the information you want may only be available by reading papers from a box on site. If you know what units your kin served with, you may be able to find a copy of their unit histories which would detail everything as well, but they probably would be in the native language of the unit which could be any one of fourteen depending on who your Great-Grandfather was. Still, go for it. You won't know until you try and the soldiers of the Habsburg Empire deserve to be remembered as much as anyone.

Weird to think that the empire that stopped the Ottomans from taking over Europe would die fighting with the Ottomans against most of Europe.

Hey there INDY! and crew! i have a question about MONTENEGRO? i know you said in 1 episode that they didnt have much of a sea port . BUT i wonder if the allies could have tried to make a landing there and had the Montenegrans secretly build a landing port before austria invaded and then they could have let Greese stay nutral... PLZ ANSWER ME BACK>>>> IM A HUGE FAN AND SUPPORTER OF YOU GUYS!!! SO SAD ITS COMING TO AN END >>>BUT glad the war ended before more lives were lost.

Please make a video on the creation of European freemasonry in 1717 that led to the implementation of the Hegallian dialectic in our political illusional system of democracy we are stuck with today, especially the role of what was left/became of the Teutonic knights, Knights Templars etc.

You should have mentioned Karl Krauss on the issue of atrocities. Die letzten Tage der Menschheit is the harshest and most harrowing critique of modernity in general and the war in particular I have ever read. For example there us a description of a train full of Czech soldiers an route to the Italian front being gassed ...

mein comrades, our great empire is dissected and has been for a hundred years! we need to stand, make a move, and save our bruders trapped in our old territories. We can become a great source of world power, we will be legendary and be one of the last great monarchies left. Our glory has been deprived since ww1's end. Well, what glory do we have left, and what do we have to hope for. We can hope only to be saved by our austro-hungarian fathers and bring back the pride of our great ancestors

The German majority in AHE was too small to release the non German part of their empire and have them founding their own free indepandent states. They needed them to still play a major power role in Europe. But already before WW1 the time of big monarcy houses ruling land here and there were already over and replaced by national states.

Austria to Hungary: "We're starving, send us more food! " Hungary to Austria: "If Austria is starving, it shouldn't fight a war!". Quite true! Reminds me of this situation from a few years ago... California to Texas: "We don't have enough electricity and are on rolling blackouts, you need to send us more power even if it means going on rolling blackouts yourself..." Texas to California: "Nope! Try actually building power plants in your own state instead of blocking them all and then looking for someone else to solve your problems you created; or do everybody else a favor and just fall into the ocean already!!" Later! OL J R

This comment really aged terribly.....or it actually aged amazingly, depending on how you look at it. Texas failed its own people in the winter of 2021due to it's poor infrastructure, so it had to beg other states for help. I guess the lesson we can all take from this is that maybe people should work together for a better goal rather than have petty arguments.
