I want to know the answer to the following question:
Which empire was a multi ethnic state?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Austrian Empire – like the Holy Roman Empire – was a multi-ethnic state, but German-speaking people there did not have an absolute numerical majority; the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was one result of the growing nationalism of other ethnicities especially the Hungarians.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
