Map: Austria-Hungary in 1918, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Austria-Hungary in 1918, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 929,100 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

Before it

After it

How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved, 1918. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

It was dissolved shortly after Hungary terminated the union with Austria in 1918 at the end of World War I.

2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1848 – 1918. Median reign 35 years. 1 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 36 causes the record names and 13 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.

Theories that apply to its ending

Of 3 theories of why states fall, 1 has every condition present at this ending; each is applied by its own logic, condition by condition, and whether its authors named this case is a footnote.

  • Demographic-structural breakdown

    Goldstone 1991 · Turchin & Nefedov 2009

    Applies by its own logic: 2 of its 3 conditions held here (it needs 2), and this is the kind of outcome it predicts — unrest, adverse regime change or the state's ending.

    • famine, plague or disaster within 30 y in the state, or population up 25% over 50 y — prior
    • a war the state is fighting, still under way, or a war the state fought, ended within 10 y — warOngoing
