Don't call Austrians German.

Serbs hungarians and romanians in one country?!?!? 5 years maximum

Austrians and Hungarians after seeing this: Ferb I know what we are going to do today

Austria-Hungary: *has 14 divisions* Me: that's a lot Austria-Hungary: *has china as a division* Me: hold up wait a minute something is not right

Austria-Hungary: *Reunites* Habsburg: Goes to visit Sarajevo Rest of Europe: *Nervous Sweating*

imagine being in china, only to wake up somehow in Austria-Hungary

Austria-hungary: reunites Balkans: *And i took that personally*

In an alternate universe: what if the Austro-Hungarian Empire fell today?

Before his assassination, Franz Ferdinand came up with a plan to maintain the empire while granting a lot of autonomy to it's provinces and territories, called "the United States of Greater Austria", which only sounds dumb but was actually a pretty neat idea.

I don’t think putting serbs croats and Bosnians all in one country is a good Idea

The Hungarians wanted to break up with the Habsburgs in 1848, fighting a war of independence against the Austrians. The victory could have been successful, but the Habsburgs called on the Russians for help, who defeated the Hungarians together with the Habsburgs. If this had not happened, Austria and Hungary would have been two separate countries.

The empire was actually trending upwards in terms of stability until the war happened. And there was a percentage of the population in the successor countries that looked back on the old empire with nostalgia. If it had been given more time, it may have improved the treatment of it's different ethnicities across the territory, (especially if Franz Ferdinand had lived to become emperor). They already had considerably high standards of living compared to the rest of Europe. Even before the dissolution of the empire, the issues people had were more of sharing rights and privileges rather than the empire existing as a repressive entity. But who knows.

Who else was first surprised to see China in the list of countries losing territory?

I still really like the shape of Austria-Hungary...

Some kind of cooperation between ex Austria Hungary members would be pretty interesting. There is quite a large amount of produce being transported through the region towards the north out of witch most of us only experience the roads being ruined all the time by heavy transport vehicles witch they are not designed for. I wonder what power could they hold if they decided to control the flow of goods together.

0:53 Beating the french automatically makes this a victory, lmao

me: grandpa, soccer is on grandpa: who is playing ? me: austria-hungary grandpa: against whom ?

Empire of Austria-Bosnia-Herzegovina-Croatia-Czech-Slovakia-Slovenia-Galicia-Trenito-Transylvania-Bukovina-Banat-Tianjin-Hungary (Empire of ABHCCSSGTTBBTH for short).

It was quite decentralized even at that time, it had regional capitals, 13 official languages, it would be a great nation today. I am sure.

House of Habsburg still exists in Austria, and the Austrian Royal family still exists as well (yes, they are considered royals) the party is led by Karl Von Habsburg, He was born in 1961 and was the first Royal to get COVID (he survived ofc)

HE HASN'T MISSPRONOUNCED CZECH ONCE, HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE.

What If the Holy Roman Empire Reunited Today?

It would work perfectly fine as long as you would not enforce bizzare laws (like banning languages) and dissolve elitism between nations. It would work like a mini-EU with more centralised government. And it really would work, because most people really do not care about nationalism as long as they are not treated like animals.

Actually Croatian was also official language, in Kingdom od Croatia-Slavonia...besides German and Hungarian elsewhere.

Ah yes china the greatest colony of Austria-Hungary

What if Yougoslavia reunited today

Thanks for this presentation, very interesting! We will be visiting Innsbruck and Prague this year!

Europe : no you cant just unite multiple ethnicities with just Nationalism Austria-Hungary : haha Nationalism go brr , and civilwar go pew pew

Am I the only one that thinks it's kind of cool there's an actual descendant of the Habsburg's still alive?

Austria-Hungary: reunites Serbia: *now this is an Avengers level threat*

When talking about languages Czech and Slovakian can be sorted as one language since I hear that they can mutually understand each other and can communicate while speaking their languages. Poles can also understand a decent part of them so it could perhaps be one of the major languages in the empire. Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and Montenegrin are also almost completely similar and are all grouped as Serbo-Croatian so that part of the population would also have 0 problems understanding each other.

Can you do what if the German empire with or without colonies reunited today, pls

Hmm. That empire doesnt look big enough. How about we add just a *little* bit of Serbia to it.

I’m still salty on when I had a assignment to write about a historical event and I wrote about WW1 and every time I wrote “Austria Hungary” the teacher corrected it and put “Austria And Hungary”

Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian languages are basically the same, nobody can negate that. So a pretty large percentage would speak the so-called Serbo-Croatian language. Great video, just discovered your channel, cheers!

I will never lose hope 🇦🇹❤🇭🇺

And it’s whole again And then it broke again

RLL: What if Austria-Hungary reunited today? *The Treaty of Trianon would like to know your location*

It was very interesting thank you for making this video🤔❤❤

I love the fact, that in the map you can see the Netherlands that reclaimed all the land they could

If anything if Austria-Hungary did come back it would probably be better for it to be a federation to ease the diverse population from autonomy.

Austria-Hungary: reunites Italy: peace was never an option

Austria would be really hungary for food so he'd go to turkey

Fun fact: Karl von Habsburg, heir to the Austro-Hungarian crown, can be seen online rating anime girls.

“Don’t do that, don’t give me hope”

You won KZfaq. I finally watched it.

*Austria-Hungary reunites* Germany: I heard you need help

I love how he says "For whatever reason" xD

If the Austro-Hungarian empire rise again the Habsburg guy shouldnt visit Sarajewo

Do "What if the Spanish Empire reunited today?".

R.I.P the students (have to learn 13 languages)

Some random Chinese guy: "I feel asleep as a resident in China and woke up as a resident of Austria-Hungary

*Plays HOI4 with Death or Dishonor DLC* Hungary: REFORM THE EMPIRE! *Annexes Austria* Germany: Man wtf, I'm supposed to annex them... PS: Oh wow, thanks a lot for those likes! :D

Marvel: The Avengers Endgame is the bravest crossover in history Austria Hungary: Are you sure?

Lol, I would like to see someone explain to Beijing, “oopsie , but we decided to take this back.”

Stable video 👍

if the Russian empire reunited (alaska included)

Austria-Hungary: *reunites* Romanians: *nervous sweating*

You should make other videos about empires and unions reuniting. You could do a video about if Southeast Asia united to form a country.

I mean as a federation, it would be an interesting idea

RLL: “14 different countries would lose all or some of their land” Also RLL: “Proceeds to show china, half the world away”

In my childhood, I used to think that Hungary is a country where Major population is dying with hunger and famine. Don’t judge me because I was a child.

The boys are back in town!

this was uploaded on my birthday

If we reunited today, we'd beat some serious ass I swear

I met Karl von Hapsburg a few years ago in Chicago. Nice guy. He and his family live in Zurich. He's a Swiss banker, speaks 6 languages, very devout Catholic, and is working on having his grandparents, Emperor Karl I and Empress Zita, canonized as Saints. As far as becoming Emperor goes, the Archduke (yes, he has that title) says he doesn't care either way. He doesn't expect Austro-Hungarian Empire to reunite, but if it does he hopes he's ready for the task.

Ever heard of Visegrad 4 group? That would make more sense for the union.

0:25 If you are questioning why china is there, its because austria-hungary had a colony there in the modern city Tianjin (next to beijing)

The part about languages has one major flaw. Czech and Slovak are so similar, they are mutually perfectly intelligible, meaning that Czech and Slovak speakers would make up a majority in that department.

Áustria-Hungary: reunites Serbia and Romania: dislike the vídeo

Very creative name

Having German and Hungarian as officially dominant language is exactly I wouldn't do on re-union of AT-HU. At this point, the EU policies are a well-done example, and I would apply them, perhaps adapted to the special situation as many of the languages were majority languages elsewhere.

Austria and Hungary reunited *Romania has left the chat*

Okay you may not belive me, but my granma's uncle was Gavrilo princip

Imagine it had the shape of only the nations that were fully part of it

Hey, actually theres no problem but i saw you said Kraków wrong 😅 Also this video is pretty cool and i hope you you will succed

The Habsburgs are still alive?! Mind = Blown

I am BACK!

Most "Italians" you mentioned would actually be from Südtirol (South Tyrol) and German speaking. These people have been part of Austria for ages and only been absorbed into Italy right after WW I. People from South Tyrol normally don't consider themselfe Italian and calling them that is like calling a Scottsman to be English. In fact a lot of people from Südtirol hate Italians, because after they were included into Italy they were forced to give up German, some of them got new family names, all the villages got Italian sounding names. When they had a resitance movement that wanted to rejoin Austria in the 1970 and 1980 a lot of those people were torchered and imprisoned by the Italian police.

Unrealistic, Czechs hated Austria-Hungary and the Habsburgs.

0:25 me: what the heck china 4:16 me: oh ok

I think in the present Austria-Hungary there wouldn't be emperor, only, if it would be a constitutional monarchy.

I wonder... If the last emperor of Mexico was from Austria... would that mean we're part of the mix too?

Yo creo que no sería completamente descabellado pensar que se pudiera reunificar. Porque seguramente no haya tantos problemas culturales y de idiomas, debido a que sería como las comunidades autónomas españolas marcadas por el idioma y la cultura.

Imagine seeing this on a map or living in Austria Hungary? And 100 years later some dude is talking about reuniting it!

Like who is from Austria-Hungary

I love how he thinks Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs can't understand eachother

it was a very rich and beautiful empire. the Anglo-Saxons turned the peoples of the empire against each other. that's how the HAPPY TIMES OF PEACE passed

A little side note to your very well done vid: to say "German would be understood by only 16%" is not accurate in my opinion. It would be the first language to 16% maybe, but there are many in Czech, Poland, Hungary and Croatia who speak german fluently.

Austria-Hungary: reunites China: nervous sweating

AH was the 7th economy by GDP in 1914. Like Russia, after a slow start it was rapidly growing and industrialising. The war it started wrecked all that. Trade as proportion of world GDP did not return to 1914 levels until 1973. WW1 led to WW2. Population levels in Eastern Europe and Russia also did not recover to 1939 levels until the early 70s. It is interesting to speculate what Europe would be like today if Vienna and the others had avoided war over the last century.

That Simpson guy's national anthem will make sense.

The way you've described it; an absolute monarchy, would never survive in modern day Europe. But it would realistically become a federal republic, so wouldn't have an emperor, but a president. In fact the arch duke was addressing the idea of federalisation at the time of his assassination. Since most of those countries are members of the EU, it would probably join the EU, allowing full access to the single market, and having many European allies, as well as the benefit of European support regarding separatism. With the threat of vetoing any nation joining the EU such it secede, it might be able to hold the federation together. Interesting that you mentioned the capital, as it would realistically have to be neither the capital of Austria or Hungary. In a federation the capital has to be neutral ground, and can't be the capital of any of the states (it's technically not part of any state), and ideally on the boarder between two states. The unification would mean the country would be able to grow much faster than each individual country currently is, so it's GDP would increase, and within 20 years could possibly become the second largest economy in Europe, after Germany, and thus very influential within the EU. Unfortunately this growth, and the nationalism within each state would mean they'd likely want to leave both the federation and the EU, which would be economically devastating but would still probably happen, so no, it wouldn't last very long, as people are terrible at recognising what's best for them as instead they look for things that confirm their wishful thinking.

To my fellow Austrians! Stop hating on people who say that we are German! What's the problem with being German? It doesn't make you less of an Austrian! Austria is part of the German language and culture area! All Austrians knew that they were German until the Allies made lots of anti-German propaganda after WW2! Our ancestors ruled the Holy Roman Empire of the GERMAN Nation! We should be proud of our German blood! Being Austrian isn't a contradiction to being German! We can be both Austrian and German! We are all Austrians and all of us are German!

Francis, I know what we're gonna do today

I mean if the coalescing governments agreed on some autonomy and reforming the empire for economic reasons then I'd it'd be viable. Countries making up the empire would become semi autonomous provinces with the imperial government consisting of senators from every provinces that is elected by the the people of their respective province. Just for a starting point, the head of each government would become their province's senator. In terms of official language, I'd say German. Unofficial would be English for obvious reasons as its easier to learn then German and the citizens could communicate in English if they don't understand each other. On the topic of cultural identity, the national day of each of the provinces would be celebrated and there would be a beautiful parade in the capital celebrating it's citizens along with an imperial day where on top of the already existing provinces day scattered throughout the year, there would be one day to celebrate everyone together. And the capital should either be Vienna or build from the ground up, an imperial capital that's of equalise distance from the empire's entire border. Oh and leave the Chinese territory. Unless they want to integrate into the empire

Without Austro-Hungarian Empire I wouldn’t exist today! My grandpa from Bosnia and grandma from Ukraine(before Poland)!

Fun fact: Budapest agglomeration would be the largest urban area in the Empire, with a population between 2.5-3 million inhabitants (data varies from research to research, but the numbers are bigger than the Wien agglomeration)

5:23 He looks EXACTLY like Emperor Charles.

Its funny how austria-hunngary has a gdp less than a tiny island in the carribbean
