description: At the height of its power the Empire of the Hapsburgs stretched from Spain to Hungary and embraced a great variety of nationalities. By the end of the 19th century, however, the great Empire was in its death throes. Nevertheless, the Empire might have lingered on for years had not the cataclysmic forces of the First World War, and the part played by the other great European powers in encouraging exiles and nationals in their aspirations for independence, provided the final impetus to bring the tottering structure down.
