    The Austro-Hungarian Empire was huge multi-national empire. Some of the mayor nationalities represented, other then the Austrians and Hungarians, were Czechs and Pols. The empire was a dual-Monarchy, because of the Austrians defeat under the Austro-Prussian war. The Austrian empire was weak and in need of a new government. The Hungarians grasped their opportunity to demand more power and a dual-Monarchy, which made Franz Joseph I both the emperor of Austria and the king of Hungary. Some of the other large groups of people (i.e. the Czechs and poles) in the empire felt it unfair that the Hungarians should get power and the right to rule over their part of the empire when they themselves had no influence. Therefor one could say that it is due to great ethnic diversity and dissatisfaction within these ethnic groups that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was weak and unstable.…

    The two men that handled the task of creating a lasting peace for Europe after the generation of warfare were Metternich of Austria and Castlereagh of Great Britain. In order to start the peace throughout Europe, Metternich and Castlereagh as well as Charles Talleyrand of France opted to use balance of power to govern Europe.

    Possibly the single most pondered question in history could be what caused the unrestricted and blind slaughter of World War I? After the Age of Imperialism reached its height during the mid-1800s it was followed by a seemingly vibrant age of progression that gleamed optimism in the minds of some Europeans. Unification among Germany in 1871 and Serbia in 1882 presented the map of Europe with new political entities. However, this age of apparent progressive reform shrouded over the real tensions that lied beneath. Unlike World War II, a phenomenon whereby a single belligerent foe antagonized the global stage to militarily intervene. It didn't possess the moral and credible vindication to resist a tyrant. Rather a delicate but toxic balance of…

    Many European nations having this ability prevented any one from rising about the rest. The affect the balance of power had on the Thirty-Years War was its result, and with most of the nations involved being on roughly equal footing there was no clear winner between the Protestants and Roman Catholics. By the Treaties of Westphalia the various nations and religions involved were forced to recognize the others right to exist, if only begrudgingly and to the most minimum extant possible. The Thirty-Years War was ended and peace negotiated by ambassadors, and was not due to any power involved dealing a decisive victory. The balance of power also resulted in previously powerful nations such as Spain relegated to a second class power due to failures in both military might, and the authority and abilities of its ruling…
