Charles I was the ruler of Austria from 1916-1918. Francis Joseph I was the ruler prior but died midway into the war.

1918-1934 That answer is rubbish! Austria was part of Germany until 1866. Germany untied with Austria as allies in World War One, and in World War Two, Hitler formed an 'Anschluss', or pact, giving over power of Austria to him, so technically Austria was never invaded by Germany, because they allied with Germany.
Both the Ottomon Empire, ruled from Turkey, and Austria-Hungary were arguably destroyed by WWI. Both were divided up into differing nation states.
The catalyst for World War I, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, occurred on June 28, 1914. Despite military and diplomatic action immediately following the assassination, war was not officially declared for another month. On July 28, 1914 Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. In an almost domino effect, country after country followed suit, declaring war on each other throughout the month of August, until the majority of Europe was consumed. The United States did not enter the War until 1917. For a more thorough look at the outbreak of World War I, visit The Encyclopedia Britannica's website and their entry on World War I.

Austria-Hungary
Austria- hungary
I think Croatia was still ruled over by Austria-Hungary but they may have been independent after World War I :)
The Ottoman Empire ruled most of the Middle East from the 1500s until World War 1.
The nation of Poland did not actually exist during World War I. It was part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire of which Germany was a part.
Austro-Hungary was ruled by an Emperor from the Habsburg family in 1914.
Bosnia wasn't an independent nation during the First World War, it was owned by Austria-Hungary at the time, the Emperor-King of Austria-Hungary was Franz-Joseph I until his death in 1916 and Charles I from 1916 until the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918.

Italy was allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary when World War I started. Italy said that since Austria-Hungary started the war by declaring war on Serbia, and the alliance was a defensive pact (ie if one country is attacked, the others would help), they were under no obligation to join the war. At that point in history, Italians had a long-standing dislike of Austria. Austria had once ruled most of northern Italy, and resisted efforts for Italy to unify (until the mid-1800's, Italy was broken up into many smaller countries); when World War I started, Austria still ruled some Italian cities ("Italia Irridentia", or "unredeemed Italy"). They even fought a war against each other in the 1860's while Austria was fighting Prussia. So it's not surprising that Italy didn't have much desire to help Austria fight her war against Serbia.
they didn't join ww1 until austria & Hungary were getting threats from Serbia
no it wasnt until world war 2 austria was independent
No, he was the archduke of Austria until he was assassinated leading to World War 1 in 1914
