In the treaty between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Allies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire repeatedly ntioned a clause that no Allied country should support Hungarian independence forces.
The Hungarian independence forces not only include the already well-known Independent Party in Hungary but also include capitalists and landowners who try to promote Hungarian independence.
If you have a map, you can clearly find out that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is mostly surrounded by mountains, and only the Hungarian region is one of the few plains in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This also leads to the Hungarian region being mostly based on a small agricultural economy, including a considerable number of farm owners and small capitalists.
The completely different economic models of the Hungarian region and Austria are also destined to cause conflicts between Hungary and Austria.
But for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the empire cannot lose such an important granary as Hungary.
After fully considering it, the Austro-Hungarian governnt finally decided to lose more territories, but never lose the sovereignty over Hungary.
Of course, there is good news for Carl I, his emperor’s throne is temporarily preserved.
In order for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to better control Hungary, the monarchical position of Carl I must not be lost temporarily.
After all, in addition to being the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Carl I also holds the titles of King of Bohemia and King of Hungary.
It is the combination of Austrian Emperor, King of Bohemia, and King of Hungary that forms the dual-state structure of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Once the monarchy is overthrown, the states that are united because they are both Habsburg territories will lose their reasons for uniting with each other.
It must be admitted that the Habsburg family, as one of the greatest European royal families, still has a very rich background.
Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the Habsburg family still held the titles of the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Kingdom of Bohemia, making it one of the most brilliant and glorious families in European royal history.
This treaty is about to be reached, and Carl I and the Hungarian Kingdom governnt should relax.
Carl I can keep his throne, and the Hungarian Kingdom governnt can deal with its own crisis, which can be described as a win-win situation.
As for the losses of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it can only be borne by the imperial governnt. But for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, ending the war earlier may be the best choice, at least to avoid the further depletion of its own war potential and the loss of human and financial resources to the Hungarian Kingdom governnt caused by the war.
When hearing that the Russian governnt is resending troops to join the war, the Hungarian Kingdom Governnt officials were frightened.
If it can be completely determined by the treaty, at least it can allow the Hungarian Kingdom governnt to have a period of developnt opportunities to deal with the problem of ethnic minorities in their territories.
On July 21, 1917, as the peace talks progressed smoothly, it was finally announced to suspend the war in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and decide to assemble most of the troops on the German border, trying to decide a life-and-death battle with Germany in a short ti.
The news of the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s surrender shocked European citizens, and at the sa ti, it also ant that Germany’s demise beca only a matter of ti.
Even many European newspapers have been clamoring that they even think that the Allied forces will be able to end the war before this year’s Christmas, allowing all European citizens to welco a peaceful Christmas again.
On July 24, more than 100,000 Australasian troops returned to the Western European battlefield by transport ships, which also ans that the Australasian Army will face the German Army again.
More than 500,000 troops from the Balkan Allied Forces were also withdrawn, and together with the 500,000 Italian troops, the total number of Allied forces on the Western European battlefield was close to 10 million.
This is almost the bottom line of the Allies. In this year and a half since 1916, the casualties of the Allies, especially Britain and France, have reached more than 4 million, with nearly 2 million deaths, which is a truly heavy loss.
The Germans were also not in good shape, and the total number of casualties in this year and a half was as high as 3.5 million, with almost 1.6 million deaths.
The total number of casualties caused by the three localized wars of the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of the Som, and the Spring Offensive has exceeded 8 million, and the total number of deaths has exceeded 3.5 million. This is the most tragic period of ti since the outbreak of the war.
During the entire warti, more than 20 million soldiers were invested in the European theater, the total number of casualties exceeded 15 million, and the number of deaths was as high as 6 million.
Even just the deceased population is comparable to so dium and small-scale countries in Europe. The cumulative casualties are close to the population of Australasia, which is enough to see the cruelty of this war.
In addition to the consumption of manpower, the consumption of funds and supplies of European countries has not decreased at all.
In the year before the outbreak of the war, in 1913, the European countries’ military spending generally put at about £100 million, and so countries did not even exceed £100 million.
But now, even Italy and Australasia, with the least military spending, are hovering around £100 million.
And for countries with the most serious consumption like Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, annual war spending has reached billions of pounds, which can be said to be crazy in squeezing the potential of the country and damaging its economic developnt.
It is not an exaggeration to say that ending the war early has beco the hope of all countries.
