Best Answer

Their Empire did not have a homogenous population, but it was a collection of various peoples with different cultural and religious backrounds, speaking many different languages and often fiercely nationalistic. The only thing they had in common was that they had the same person for a King or Emperor. The fact that the country was renamed in the 19th century from 'Austria" to 'Austria-Hungary" is one indication that many of the population groups did hardly consider themselves as integral part of a greater union.

How long did scar rule the pride lands?

Scar's reign over the Pride Lands is about as long as Simba's self-exile from the Pride Lands. Whe Simba fleed the Pride Lands after Mufasa's death, he was about six months old as a cub's tail tuft is fully growned by then, and when he returned, he was about four years old as lions are fully matured by that time. So, Scar ruled the Pride Lands for about 3½ years.

What year did the Austrian Hapsburgs reach their largest territorial gains?

It is a matter of definition. The Hapsburgs had been Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and so had been the formal overlords of most of today's Germany and Poland, apart from their more direct rule over their Austrian homelands. But is is questionable whether this imperial overlordship really made them master of the territories involved. Many (several local rulers in Germany included) would hotly debate that claim.If we only look at the territories under direct Hapsburg rule, these territories were probably largest at the time that the Austrian Empire was established in 1804. In 1918, when its successor the Austria-Hungary Empire was dissolved, its total territory was just 6,000 square mile less.

Is there a rule that puts holder back 7yards from line of scrimmage on point after touchdown kicks?

No. This distance is used because it is far enough from the line of scrimmage that it's difficult for the defense to interfere with the kick, but not so far that the kick is difficult to make.


What royal families are connected by marriage to the Hapsburg family?

Maybe the Spanish. The Spanish Hapsburgs ruled for a while- bringing a German strain into otherwise Latin Spanish. For example you will find the words Hermano ( Brother) Herman a good German name!- Rodriguez ( of German origin, from Roderick)- and of course Mercedes, premier German car! So there is some Germanic roots in Spanish thanks to the Spanish Hapsburgs.
