Austria-Hungary

Austria-Hungary, officially known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, federally, the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary, is a Multi-Ethnic Empire in Europe consisting of Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia.
== History ==
=== The Austrian Empire ===
Austria as an Empire got it's start after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. The Austrian Empire was seen as an unofficial successor state to the HRE, it's longest reigning Emperor being Franz Joseph, who reigned from 1848-1916. Austria asserted itself as a great power almost immediately because of it's sheer size.
=== Union with Hungary ===
In 1867, after the events of the Austro-Prussian war (Ironically enough, they became allies later), they came up with the Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867. This union would proclaim a duel Monarchy, where the Emperor of Austria would also have the title of King of Hungary.
=== The Central Powers and the Great War ===
With the alliance with Germany and Italy (Which Italy betrayed during the Great War), the Central Powers formed and asserted their dominance as the most powerful alliance in Europe. This was shown during the events of the Great War, where The Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria joined as well. However, the war didn't look too much into their favor until Equestria got involved, and changed the course of history. Not only did the Central Powers end up winning the Great War, and changing the 20th and 21st century completely, but also Equestrian Magic being introduced to Earth, as was Earth tech being introduced to Equestria. Austria-Hungary, who started the war, is celebrated as the one who started the war, therefore, making the Central Powers the most powerful alliance in not just Europe, but the world.
=== Post-War ===
After the war, Austria-Hungary ended up being the third most powerful country in Europe, behind the Ottoman Empire and Germany. The Ottoman Empire was weaker during the Great War, but with Islam becoming more and more popular, more people became loyal to the Ottomans, and the Ottoman Empire spread their Jihad throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa further, outdoing Austria-Hungary, but not to the level of Superpower status like the Germans. The Empire also ended up becoming federalized, with 7 states, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia.
