Liest sich sehr gut. Steckt viel Arbeit drin, danke. 2 minor points: a) Political Divisions Hungary Rest is Austria part of the "rest" ? (Apparently it is, but would have Austrians at their time seen it the same?) b) a question from a non-native speaker. Is "to annex" the same as our "annektieren" i.e. to take over forcefully (and perhaps illegally) If so another wording for ... German-Austria, which had been first proclaimed in October 30, 1918. It was thought that it would be annexed to Germany, but this was forbidden by the Western Powers. might be more appropriate. As far as I remember German-Austria wanted to join the Weimarer Republik. The W.R. had no power to annex (in its negative sense) anything. I just saw that this was the same in the existing Austria page. Perhaps I should look at our new pages more regularly ;-) Arthur.Teschler@uni-giessen.de

One minor nit:
There were several exchanges of territory before peace returned and final boundaries were set at the Congress of Vienna, which met from September 1814 to June 1815. Over the next two centuries, there were additions to the Empire, as for example when in 1846
There really haven't been two centuries since Napoleon, especially for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. -- =Jim Eggert EggertJ@LL.mit.edu
