Habsburg Empire!

[Don Arb]

I have big admiration for this empire!

Everywhere they set a foot left great treasure and everywhere otomans set foot did the opposite. From my trips to the capitals that once were under this Monarchy all I can see is the european civilization art and architecture on their highest level, starting from Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Ljubljana, North Italy, Zagreb etc, everything that was under their rule today represent unique treasure.

Heil Habsburg Empire.


The Habsburg Monarchy (or Habsburg Empire) is an unofficial appellation amongst historians for the countries and provinces which were ruled by the junior Austrian branch of the House of Habsburg (1278–1780), and then by the successor House of Habsburg-Lorraine (from 1780), between 1526 and 1804. The "Habsburg Monarchy / Habsburg Empire" term was born only posteriorly in the early 19th century, which referred to the Habsburg dominions between the 1526–1804 period. The Imperial capital was Vienna, except from 1583 to 1611,[3] when it was moved to Prague. From 1804 to 1867 the Habsburgs ruled the Austrian Empire and from 1867 to 1918 Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The empire had many faults, however one cannot deny it's richness in art, culture, architecture.

Living in it's golden era (late 19th century) Budapest or Vienna (or other large cities) must have been interesting for sure. I sometimes wished I lived in this era.

Agreed, towns like Vienna, Budapest and Prague are tourist magnets because of the rich cultural k.u.k. heritage, including marvellous art noveou architecture

I think from a cultural standpoint, k.u.k was probably the best in Europe.

When it comes to k.u.k, lets focus on the cultural side of things, rather than the military. I prefer it that way ;)
