In what ways were th Habsburgs and the Hohenzollerns driven by similar motives?
In two ways: creating unity and prestige. Both Empires were made up of different nationalities and principalities, and nothing unites an Empire like having or creating a common enemy and coming out on top against it; just ask Russia's Mr. Putin. But even in that seeming similarity there were great differences. Germany's Hohenzollerns and especially Kaiser Wilhelm II were anxious to prove themselves to the world, while Habsburg Kaiser Franz Joseph II felt secure in his place in the world. Germany's unity under the Hohenzollerns was only 40 years old at the time, but that unity was not under any serious threat. Austria's unity was a few hundred years old, but under much pressure from the many nationalities chafing under German/Austrian and Hungarian dominance. The Habsburg Kaiser had over the decades learned the hard way that wars are always a big gamble and easily lost, so he was not at all keen on starting one. But he felt that if he let Serbia get away with backing the Crown Prince's murderers, he would undermine imperial and Austrian prestige and so only invite further internal unrest. The Hohenzollern Kaiser Wilhelm II on the other hand was driven by a constant fear of not being taken seriously enough in the world and had only memories of Germany and Prussia winning all its wars. He thought that winning a war of his own would finally get him the position inside and outside Germany that he thought he deserved. So although 'prestige'-considerations figured as much in his motives as they did with Franz-Joseph, the nature of those considerations was quite different. One was afraid of losing prestige, the other eager to win it.
What major European empires ceased to exist after ww1?
Five empires went into the war, and only one came out - the British Empire. Falling as a result of the war were the German Empire (the Hohenzollerns), the Austro-Hungarian Empire (the Hapsburgs, after more then 400 years), the Russian Empire (the Romanovs, after more then 250 years) and the Ottoman Empire (the Turks, after more than 450 years). In particular the fall of the Ottoman Empire, combined with the end of the Calpihate, resonates today in the continuing turmoil of the Middle East and the Muslim world.
Why do Armies Goose-step march?
The goosestep is a long military tradition originated in Prussia. It was designed as a drill to impress observers. Not quite. The Electors of Brandenburg [with its capital of Berlin], the Hohenzollerns, were Kings in Prussia following their acquisition of the Kingdom following the Great Norhern War, 1725-ish. Since Brandenburg was a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and its Emperor forbad kings in the Empire, the Brandenburgers couldn't be called King of Prussia until Napoleon had abolished the HRE of the GN in 1806, I think; only King In Prussia, which sort of distanced them from their Habsburg Emperors; against whom they often waged successful wars. The Hohenzollerns were acquisitive, as we all are; and quite good at making war. Advances in firearms technology in the 18th century allowed well-drilled companies of infantry to deliver lead to their enemies, as easily as a machine-gun would in the 20th century. To train his armies to not merely march in step but also get strong bodies to provide accurate musket-fire over distance, the romantic Hohenzollern Elector Frederick II, the Great, invented the goose-step in the mid-18th century....just in time to be a very able ally of the English in the 7 Years' War. Which gained for us yet more of India, North America, the Caribbean and elsewhere; and the Hohenzollerns were confirmed in their ownership of Prussia, all of Silesia, and they acquired yet more of north Germany. Which meant that they were able to offer us more help during the wars against the French 1792-1815. Indeed, the arrival of Blucher's Brandenburgers at Waterloo did for the French in that battle. Since Prussia is a bleak place, there were quite a few Prussians in the army of the Brandenburgers; and they became Kings of Prussia once the HRE of the GN had gone. Hence the mix-up. Granted, the goose-step is intimidating, a sort of group-kick, and the minimum height for the Hohenzollerns' Guardsmen was 6 feet; so, plus, tall helmets, they had a presence. Which was very effective against the Russians, French, Austrians, and Danes from its invention till stopped by machine-guns in WW1.
What are the family's of Prussian kings?
The families of Prussian kings primarily belong to the House of Hohenzollern, which ruled from the 16th century until the end of World War I in 1918. This dynasty split into two branches: the Brandenburg line, which produced the kings of Prussia, and the Swabian line, which held various duchies in southern Germany. The most notable kings included Frederick II, known as Frederick the Great, and Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor. The Hohenzollerns played a significant role in shaping German and European history through military and political maneuvers.
