Austria-Hungary was a multi ethnic state which meant that it was made up of people form many different nationalities. This caused problems when Nationalism took hold because all of the different groups of nationalities wanted their independence, they wanted national statehood. This caused turmoil and instability within the Empire.

∙ 13y agoRemember, at the time, it was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Empire (unlike any of the other major states in Europe) was a patchwork of over a dozen major ethnic groups. Nationalism tends to organize along ethnic boundaries (that is, nations tend to form around a large concentration of one ethnic group). Thus, with a very large number of different ethnic groups, the Empire had to worry about each group wanting to split from the Empire, and form its own nation.
Indeed, after WW1, this is what happened to the Empire - it was split into about a 8 different countries (or, more accurately, portions of 8 countries included lands formerly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire).

What was Romania's Role in World War 1?
Ever since the early 1820s nationalism had been a threat to the Austrian Empire's very existence - first German nationalism, then Italian nationalism, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Croat, Serbian, Romanian nationalism. In the years before WW1 Austria-Hungary was particularly concerned about Slav nationalism, which it saw as a vehicle for Russian influence and interference. In 1878 during a key stage in the break-up of the Ottoman Empire (in Europe) Bosnia-Herzegovina had been made an Austrian protectorate. In 1908 it looked briefly as if Turkey might become democratic and respectable and demand the area back. In an attempt to forestall this, Austria annexed the area outright. This infuriated Serb nationalists as they regarded Bosnia-Herzegovina as Serbian, though their claims then, as now, were weak.
