How was the Habsburg Empire a patchwork of many different regions and peoples in Europe? Explain in 100 words.

Answer»

Answer:

The Habsburg EMPIRE ruled over Austria-Hungary. It was a patchwork of many different regions and peoples because:

It included the Alpine regions - the Tyrol, Austria and the Sudetenland – as well as Bohemia, where the aristocracy was predominantly German-speaking.

It also included the Italian-speaking provinces of Lombardy and Venetia.

In Hungary, half of the population spoke Magyar while the other half spoke a variety of dialects.

In GALICIA, the aristocracy spoke Polish. Besides these three DOMINANT groups, there also lived within the boundaries of the empire, a mass of subject peasant peoples – Bohemians and SLOVAKS to the north, Slovenes in Carniola, Croats to the south, and Roumans to the east in Transylvania.
