Hungary: the landlocked kingdom without a king led by an admiral

"His career suffered a slight setback: He died"

I like how Franz Josef basically lasted this entire video.

Why can’t political parties have cool names like “The Iron Ring” anymore?

Students: "We want rights!" Austria:"I grant you the right to be shot."

The Iron Ring sounds like a badass political party

Corrections: 1) Budapest was created in 1873, not 1878. Sorry about that. 2) Only South Tyrol was lost to Italy after World War 1.

My Great-great grandmother was Croatian and she could speak Italian, Ruthenian, and Polish as well. She was from Trieste and I remember her showing me a "Maria-Teresa" coin when I was a boy. Of course she was a Croatian nationalist, but spoke fondly of living in the AHE and lamented the loss of "Her" empire. My grandmother, her daughter, my father's mother, returned immediately after WW2 to reappropriate some family property before the city was given over to Italian authorities, and showed me a photo album of B&W photos of when she was there.

5:05 “Ah yes, the universally known empire; Australia-Hungary”

OverSimplified: Germany was totally rekked by the treaty of Versailles! Austria - Hungary: Am I a joke to you?

"Russia will remember that" - LOL

"List of people who are unemployed: 1: You" Ain't that the truth?

3:12 “Austria lost Venice but gave it to France because they didn’t feel like Italy had earned it and France gave it to Italy”

"The empire was split into two." That statement almost never leads to anything good...

"Sire! The peasants are revolting!" "Yes. And they smell bad too!"

Took the time to kick the bucket, lol.

*name a more iconic duo I’ll wait*

Me: I’m hungry... Austria: Wanna make a dual monarchy?

The death effects are so funny, especially with the sign that said *thud*

I really enjoyed the video, but I would like to add a few corrections: - In the Hungarian Revolution, Hungarian independence was only declared on 14. April 1849, not in 1848. - The 1868 Hungarian nationality law was considered very liberal at the time it was created. However, it became outdated by the end of the 19th century. - Budapest was unified in 1873, not in 1878. - There are considerable Hungarian minorities also in modern day Slovakia, Ukraine, Serbia and Slovenia, not only in Transylvania. Apart from that, I think this video is a good summary.

“Friends?” “Im old now”

Considering its confusing political system and total lack of strategic foresight it is a miracle the empire lasted as long as it did and even had a cultural and scientific bloom before it fell apart.

To make matters more complicated, Franz-Joseph took this opportune moment, to kick the bucket....Now that really made my day.

"Trouble occurred when a crowd, mostly made up of students, demanded more rights and the government obliged...by shooting them.." This is why I keep coming back

I feel like Austria Hungary got the worse end of the loss than Germany.

5:06 - Australia-Hungary :D

Dude, one of the main reasons I love this channel and it’s content is the narrators sarcasm in regards to death murders etc. Perfect example ”His career suffered a slight setback when he died”. I get a little laugh every time I hear one of those stupid one liners. Great writing, in my opinion.

Why did Germany give Austria a blank Czech? So, they wouldn't go Hungary

Pretty nuts to think that during that whole time Austria only went through 3 monarchs and the first and last guy barely counted.

The passive resistence of the Hungarian nobility is absolutely missed out.

I blame Conrad von Hotzendorf

With all the mentions of moments that "threatened to tear the empire apart", it's actually a miracle that it stayed together for as long as it did

Who says that?: “You haven’t earned this province coz you didn’t fight well enough”😂😂

5:03 An Australian in Austria? Unthinkable!

"The Austrians were defeated because they hadn't adapted to the new technologies and because the Italians had joined the Prussians." Well that and the Prussian forces were being led by Helmuth von Moltke, one of the most brilliant military commanders of his time.

Love the Australia-Hungarian flag in the background at 5:09

Lmao the board said: "People who are unemployed: You." 6:14 lmao

I highly recommend Extra Credits: The Seminal Tragedy series for an interesting view on the build up to WW1. It is actually shocking how many attempts to avoid The Great War simply failed. One wrong turn, One diplomat dead by heart attack, and one king could not be found at all because... well, vacation. It really has all the workings of a great tragic play and is well presented by Extra Credits. Can be found on youtube easily.

People who are unemployed: You

Another great video. Sometimes short videos are the best way to learn new information regarding history.

Im brazilian and I recently discovered that my Italian heritage has a huge hungarian percentage. Don't you wish to know more about your parent's from like 1000 years ago...? I mean... just for curiosity, genetics can say something interesting. Also for respect, of course, these people survived some hard times for us to be here. Gratitude is the least we could have. Cheers for my italian/hungarian blood brothers and sisters. ^^)

Your maps are your bread and butter. Keep up the good work

Great video, trying to cram Austia-Hungary in 10 minutes is a daunting task. :D Also, thank you for doing videos about less well known entities. It feels like time is forgetting the Ottoman and Habsburg domains and their effects on the world.

It is just amazing how these simple, two dimensional, blocky characters resemble the actual people they represent!

Grandpa: *wakes up from coma* Grandson: hey, wanna watch a football match? Grandpa: sure, which teams are playing? Grandson: Austria and Hungary Grandpa: and what is the other country?

02:00 a telltale games easter egg. Just 4 months before telltale games shut down.

One of my close friends is half Hungarian, and his great-grandparents lived in Hungary when it was defeated and partitioned. The lived in a village that ended up being only a couple of kilometres outside of the new, smaller Hungary, and for the rest of their lives they were treated absolutely terribly by their new countrymen solely for being Hungarian. My friend still feels genuine anger at how Hungary was partitioned and even to this day wants Hungary to reclaim its lost lands.

*Complete success, I see no issues here, carry on.*

I have family that have lived this aspect of history. My great grandfather Paul Kipa lived in Poland and migrated from Poland to the United States during World War I when Poland was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Always wanted this covered, great job!

A big event that you didn't mention was the death of the Empress Elisabeth in 1898. She was one of the people that helped keep relations between the Emperor and the people.

5:04 australian-hungarian empire?

5:50 wow he seems to be a good fellow I wonder what affect on history he has

Welcome back, I was wondering where this channel had gone!

👏 I wasn't sure you could really do this in just 10 minutes, but my hats off, sir!

1:44 I saw that coming. You get used to these "setbacks."

I absolutely love your videos. I am confident I have seen everyone of your videos at least 4 times. Hope this question doesn't bother you but just wondering, what software/plataform do you use to create your animations and content?

You are so awesome. I could watch these videos for days on end

Excellent chapter, thanks for sharing

Love this channel! I turned my 32 year old son who has never been a history fan onto it and he's hooked.

In case anyone is interested the full name of Austria-Hungary is The Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council and the Lands of the Crown of St. Stephen.

Your animations are great keep it up!

Woooot, so pleased whenever your videos pop up!

“Took this opportune moment to kick the bucket”

Fantastic Episode!

"So *inset any noun/name here" Obliged: by shooting them" is my new favorite phrase

Before watching the video: the Austro-Hungarian Empire looks cursed After watching the video: OK, it was even more cursed than I thought

List of people who are unemployed: 1. You

Yooo what's up with the aussie cork hat at 5:03? I love it.

9:59 props to this guy for making all of these videos ten minutes.

Really great to see this covered

Many many others obviously means Slovenes!

There's a mistake you also made in another video, the Austria-Hungarian Navy was by 1914 the 6th biggest in the world and far from being weak. That was also the reason why the Empire was no target for a British naval Invasion in WW1 like Gallipoli.

I love your videos, the only thing I would suggest is additing some kind of year-counter, from which we would be able to easly know what time the actions took place

I love this channel!

2:48 Task failed successfully

'Russia will remember that' XD

Your drop dead bit man! Gets me every time!

Me : Grandpa the soccer game is on! Grandpa: Who’s playing? Me : Austria-Hungary Grandpa : playing whom?

"Russia will remember that" That reminds me of telltale games, especially mc story mode as its the only one i played.

The Austro-Prussian war was mainly about who would unify the german nations. Prussia won in the battle of Hradec Kralove, so it unified Germans and created the German empire.

You are finally back 😁, welcome back.

Great presentation, new sub.

History matter : to over simplified Oversimplified: are you challenging me

TEN MINUTE HISTORY IS BACK BABYYYY

4:53 Funnily enough, I came here from Name Explain's video on how Budapest got its name. (He suggested watching a video on the Austro-Hungarian Empire for more info.)

Technically Austria-Hungary had already been carved up before the war even ended. In late October 1918, the climactic battle of the war for Austria started at Vittorio Veneto in northern Italy. As the battle progressed, it became clear to everyone that Austria was losing, and most of the empire began declaring independence before the battle was even over. By October 31, all Emperor Karl ruled was basically what's now Austria- the rest was gone. Even Hungary declared independence and ended the personal union. Vittorio Veneto ended with a crushing defeat for Austria, and the Austrian military largely ceased to exist, so the emperor "abdicated" (he fired his entire government and declared he was going to stop personally running the government- but everyone just kind of accepted his statement as an abdication, which he spent the rest of his life denying), and Austria surrendered. The treaties of Trianon and Saint-Germain simply codified and recognized the independence of the new countries. Also, there was a war in 1864 that set up the 1866 war. Long story very short, in the 1850s Prussia fought a war over Schleswig and Holstein, two duchies that make up that "neck" region between Denmark and Germany. They were controlled by Denmark but the people there are basically Germans. The first war ended in basically a draw because Prussia couldn't defeat them fast enough and was worried that England would get involved. So then in 1864, when the king of Denmark died and the new king basically tried to absorb the duchies, Prussia convinced Austria to help stop them. Denmark didn't really stand a chance against the two much larger and more powerful countries, so they were defeated in about 9 months. The victors divided up the two duchies between themselves, and less than two years later Prussia claimed that Austria broke the 1864 peace treaty and used that as a reason to start the 1866 Austro-Prussian War described herein.

Lovely video, but do need to point out a few things. - From the ethnicities of K.u.K. you left out Slovenia for some reason who were a much larger and more defined ethnic group in K.u.K. than Serbs or Italians which you did mention. - K.u.K. did intervene in the Krimea war, it posted 300K soldiers on the Russian border. Much to the annoyance of Russia and everyone. - The Emperor was not the driving force for the war due to lineage revenge, but the mostly German section of the pro military politicians were, non German politicians mostly opposed it. The emperor did however agree with them thinking (like the mentioned politicians) that Serbia was the driving force of slavic nations grumbling within K.u.K. instead of the non fulfilled promises after the Napoléonic wars. - the lands of South slavs were first formed under the state of Sloweniens, Croats, and Serbs who fought a war with the remainder of Austria and existed for a short time before it was internationally handed over to Serbia forming the kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slowenians - > later K. of Yugoslavia

Sought to improve relations with Russia that went went terribly.” That carriage ride back musta been long quiet and COLD bruh.

I miss these longer videos

I am very much looking forward to my Austria-Hungary T-shirt arriving any day now😁

"Russia will remember that." Haha nice Telltale The Walking Dead reference there.

Yeah finally a new video, When are you planning to continue your England series?

"Took this opportune moment to kick the bucket." Like a boss.

Imagine if all the ethnicities of the emperors were given equal treatment as the Hungarians. Then the country would be called the Austrian-Hungarian-Polish Czech-Slovakian-Ukrainian-Serbs-Croats and Slovenes Empire

Love your videos! What happened to the British history series?

Love this channel

One of my favorite history channels

I'd love to hear the histories of South American countries. By the way great video !
