Hi all,
it has been mentioned here often before, that Austria till the end of WW I in 1918 was a huge empire called Austria-Hungary. It included several different countries & provinces which then became part of one of the modern states like Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Italy etc.
For more visual details have a look at the map here:
