In brief: The Austro-Hungarian Empire was dissolved at the end of World War I, after being defeated. The same thing happened with the German Empire. The empire was split up into different countries, some part of its territory was taken over by the victorious belligerents.

Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, was a constitutional monarchy and great power in Central Europe between 1867 and 1918. It was formed with the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and was dissolved following its defeat in the First World War.

The fate of the Empire was decided after the armistice in 1918. Weak and unable to secure its indivisibility through military means, the Austrian government was forced to accept the independence of new nation states. In a sense, World War I played a decisive role in the collapse of the Empire.

Why did Austria Hungary perform so poorly in World War 1? Austria Hungary performed very poorly in world war 1, they were pushed back by Russia and almost all their invasions against Russia failed, if it wasn’t for Germany,Russia would have advanced further. They also failed in their invasion against Serbia.

Estimates of the total losses of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces range from 1.1 to 1.2 million in addition to 450,000 deceased prisoners of war and 300,000 soldiers who stayed missed after war. The number of direct and indirect civilian losses is completely unknown.

The former empire of Austria-Hungary was dissolved, and new nations were created from its land: Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. The Ottoman Turks had to give up much of their land in southwest Asia and the Middle East. In Europe, they retained only the country of Turkey.
