Very interesting. Today’s European Union is remarkably similar to Austria-Hungary, in both its good and bad aspects. Also, like the European Union today, some nations were more equal than others.
Normally the Habsburg monarchy should have died in 1848 at the latest, but astonishingly it managed to not only survive but actually EXPAND until 1917-18.

That’s not greater Hungary, that’s Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen. It’s Kingdom of Hungary and Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia under the Habsburg crown

In the case of a lonely nation without a kin nation like the Hungarians, maximum consideration should have been given to ethnic boundaries when the kingdom was divided. It is a bad joke that Czechoslovakia was given a contiguous Hungarian strip. It was a butcher job they did in Paris.

Hungary wasn’t great since 1526 when the Ottoman Empire destroyed it as an independent and united state. This map from 1910 portrays Transleithania, the hungarian controlled part of Austria-Hungary (1867-1918) with the accent on Austria. Although the hungarians were a privileged group in A-H, Hungary was not an independent state till 1918 when A-H collapsed. Not to mention that over 60% of the population was not austrian or hungarian. So for most people the collapse of A-H was a blessing.
